NEW line for Robert Kaufman - Pooches & Pickups

I am so excited to announce my newest line for Robert Kaufman, Pooches & Pickups. I've been super quiet about it and I've just nearly been busting a gut in anticipation to share the news. The colors are simply delicious and the designs are really fun. I can't wait to share the whole line with you! It's great for little ones (and for big ones with a penchant for modern and whimsical fabric).

For those of you with fabric stores, make sure to add Pooches & Pickups to your list of goodies to carry. The Robert Kaufman sales team will get all the info in mid April so place your orders with them then. The line should be shipping to to stores in stores sometime in May  Update: April!! so you guys can start sewing with it really soon!!



Once the line goes out to the sales force I can show you the whole collection(and a few little projects I've been working on with the fabric) but for now I only can share this little sneaky peeky with you. I'll be hosting a giveaway for some FQs in mid April, so make sure you keep checking back. Woof woof!!

    What a sneaky little hint! Pooches I understand, but Pickups? Pickup trucks, pickup sticks, pickup football, pickup meals. . . . Hmmmm. . . .

    Ohhhhh, I can't wait! I'm working on quilts for my boys' beds out of Urban Circus, which I absolutely love. I can't wait to see what you have next!

    Are you allowed to answer yes/no questions, lol? Is the blue background in the top fabric the same as the blue on the elephants print? I absolutely love that color!

    You could say: "sounds like flame duller" and then you wouldn't be technically answering...

    Bessiemae: I just nearly spat out my coffee I was laughing so hard... Sounds like flame duller... :) HA! The blue you see at the top is definitley in the same family as the Urban Circus blue... Perhaps a tiny bit lighter. But the blues (and greens!) in Pooches & Pickups will pair beautifully with the blues in UC. Can't wait to see your quilt!

    Hah! I actually had to google "what rhymes with color" to come up with that, hehe.

    And can I just say, how cute is that scalloped selvage??

    I also used the green birds on a wire with the UC, and I thought it went beautifully. Now, even more too coordinate. I love that your designs work for boys and grownups. :-)
