Best of Quilt Market: Carolyn Friedlander

I'm working on a few posts to show you some of the fun things that were at Quilt Market in Houston this past weekend. First off though, I really want to show you my favorite NEW designer/line of fabric, Carolyn Friedlander's Architextures for Robert Kaufman, which really blew me out of the water.

(annie of the village haberdashery and charlotte, her intrepid consultant, two of my favorite Brits)

What's interesting to me about this line is that the designs are SO subtle yet so detailed...I usually fall for big bold prints but this line really captured me with the beautiful lines and textures. This was the floor:

As an ex-science teacher, my favorite prints are definitely the topographical lines (how many times have I wished for a USGS quadrangle on fabric?), but all of the prints are really, really lovely.

These quilts make me want to quit sewing garments and become a full-time quilter. Seriously. How amazing are these little shirts. Do you see how the inside of the shirts are quilted with the back side of the fabric?? Are you seeing this???
