Sample Yardage Has Arrived....
Friday, February 20, 2009 at 05:06PM
Heres the thing about me. I can't keep secrets. I have huge amounts of respect for the blogger designers who leak out tantalizing bits of information, I really do, but I am not capable of such self control.
Its a good thing that Claudia will be in the studio helping me sew next week because I have major plans for this pile of Far Far Away sample cuts. Still no word on when exactly the goods will be available stateside, but I will let you know when I hear something...
I am so very excited about the fact that Far Far Away will be offered on both a linen/cotton double gauze and a cotton sheeting. Hats off to Kokka, they do such beautiful work! This double gauze is the most perfect fabric for -ahem- a summer blouse perhaps? Here is a peek on how the line looks now.

I've been a big fan of yours for awhile now, but sadly have not even bought a single fat quarter of your fabric! I cannot wait to get my hands on some of this for my girls - so inspiring!
Oh so so pretty and cute and girly without being cutsie! Boy do I see some fussy cut quilt blocks with this stuff in my future. Can't wait to see it live and in person!
I want a dress out of the red-on-white floral! Can't wait to get it!!
I love the Princess and the Pea! The unicorns are great too. What a fun line!
Where will we be able to purchase this lovely fabric, and any idea when it will be available for retail purchase?
As the mother of 3 girls, I can't hardly wait for this fabric!
Heather, it is all so beautiful! I can't wait to see what you do with your samples. Please don't make us wait too long. :)
I am just so in love.. reminds me of being a little girl again and reading fairy tales :)
Heather- they are so beautiful! I am so excited for the lovely yardage:)
I'm head over heels in love!
I love, love the greens and blues! I have two boys, so I guess I"ll just have to make something for myself . . .
oooooooooooo... the little orange frog makes my heart sing!! and a linen/cotton double gauze!!!! Wow! Thank you!
The fabric is amazing!
I can´t wait to get my hands on a few yards :)
Wow!! I cannot wait to see these fabrics in real life, will HAVE to get the unicorns ones, my daughter's bedroom is in a unicorn theme and I've loved them since a child.
I'm a huge fan of yours, Heather.
I LOVE that unicorn design. It looks so medieval tapestry, and so whimsically fairytale at the same time. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
Love all the colors and combos but when I got to the bottom one with the Princess my heart leapt. I can see a summer skirt in my future. Beautiful line!
I love the unicorns. And dorky things. I can't wait to see it in preson!
I love this line too! I can't wait to sew with it. You are such a fantastic artist.
I'm in love! Hate to be a fangirl but you are my favorite designer. I wish I had a bolt each of the Lightning Bugs line so I could unravel all the fabric and do the backstroke in it like Scrooge McDuck until I got tired. Then make some quilts. Yeah.
Heather! I can't wait to get these at the shop!

Those snails are precious! I NEED the princess and the pea because I have a daughter who is particularly sensitive and I always call her the princess and the pea. Cannot wait for these to come out. I recently used the bicycle fabric from your Lightning bugs line and cannot get over how lovely that fabric is, the design and the feel.
These are all wonderful. I think it might be my favorite collection from you. Well it's a toss up between this and Lightening Bugs & Other Mysteries. Those little gnomes get me every time I see them. :)
These are so fantastic!! I can't wait to get ahold of some!
Whenever I see your fabrics in other peoples quilts they really sing a merry tune, so definately looking forward to getting my hands on a few (quite a few) of the above. Hope they won't be too difficult to track down in the UK!
Heather, I'm 53 but this fabric brings out the 7 year old in me. She's gotta get the little princess design! For what, I don't know yet. Absolutely wonderful and happy stuff you make.
