Moongate by Christina Cameli for Maywood Studio
Christina Cameli’s premier fabric line for Maywood Studio coming out in February will not disappoint. The collection has a bit of whimsy without giving up an air of sophistication.Moongate was inspired by Christina’s fascination with outer space and her desire as an adolescent to become an astronaut.
The collection includes eight prints called ‘Horizon Ombres’ that feature one of Christina’s signature free-motion quilting designs. The ‘Horizon Ombres’ are out of this world with their vibrant colors and will work great as blenders.
Moongate arrives in stores in February 2020

Shibori Dye by Kim Eichler-Messmer for Paintbrush Studio Fabrics
Fiber artist and quilt designer Kim Eichler-Messmer brings Japanese traditions into the modern age withShibori Dye. ‘Shibori’ is the Japanese word for different methods of creating patterns on cloth by shaping and securing fabric before dyeing it in indigo.
This collection pairs the aesthetic of the Shibori dyeing with modern fabric printing. The prints have an organic, almost textured look to them, but they are printed on 100% quilting cotton.
Shibori Dye arrives in stores in early February 2020.
