COLLECTION: Linework. “I have always loved the way a sketch looks before it becomes a more elaborate fabric design. I love to be able to see the thought process, the notes, eraser marks and original ideas that eventually become the artwork we love. The Linework fabric collection is my thought process on cloth. My notes and thoughts are printed directly on the cloth. It's like a peek behind the veil, like a tour of my mind. Color can be so distracting when looking at the work itself. This was my best attempt to narrow myself down to two crucial elements: Black and White. My main black and white prints focus on animals that live in this range: Zebras, Pandas, Lemurs, Albino Peacocks, and of course a skunk. While I tried my very best to produce these animals in their flawless black and white state, the color crept in. I couldn't help myself. Every print has a subtle ombre of background color that repeats at least twice from selvage to selvage so every fat quarter will contain a full spectrum of color! In addition to the 6 main focal prints I have rounded out the collection with black and white versions of a few of the True Colors prints. All of the colors present in the prints are pulled from the colors in my core True Colors fabrics. It is all designed to go together, each providing what the other needs.” ~ Tula Pink
DESCRIPTION: Sketchyer - Paper 108″ Wide Backing
As quilters, we spend so much time piecing the quilt top. We make them to mark events, graduations, weddings, babies and all of those little moments that add up to a well lived life. While we are trained to admire the quilt top, the side that touches us and our loved ones is the back of the quilt. In honor of the people we create for, including ourselves, Tula has selected a cotton base cloth with a super deluxe hand and tight weave for her 108″ quilt backings. The polished surface and chintz finish create a smooth silky cotton that is ultra soft. The feel of a treasured quilt should equal the beauty of the piecing so that every time a handmade quilt touches our skin it will feel as luxe as it looks. Even with our eyes closed we will know that we are wrapped up in something special that will last a lifetime. The extra width and sateen-like finish is great for garment sewing too!
