My husband Jason, and I have collaborated on a new collection, Avalon by jay-cyn designs for Birch Fabrics Organic. Available Soon! http://www.birchfabrics.com/avalon.html

Inspired by vacations to the beach as a child, renting beach cruisers and riding along the boardwalks of Southern California Beaches, and of course a little nod to good ole' Gidget and Frankie Avalon, we love the retro feel but agree that this Modern collection can stand well into the 21st Century!

Previewing at International Fall Quilt Market Houston Booth #1413 October 30th-November 1st. Come join us and see our newest collections!

Spring Quilt Market 2010 Booth Photos for Birch Fabrics 100% Organic

Hi Everyone, wow, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to start posting Quilt Market photos. I got home on Monday, and on Tuesday the shipment of Circa 50 showed up, we've been packing and shipping out orders ever since. We are finally wrapping up shipping, and I have a few minutes to spare.

We had a great turn out. Lot's of Blog friends came by to admire the works of both OhFransson's Quilt, the Birch Trees, and Modern Acorn's (AKA Ms.McPorkschop) Doll Quilt and BLythe Doll Dress. You may have seen photos of these already popping up on the net.

Everyone loved the booth, and we had at least 4-5 Magazines requesting information for possible articles. This was Great News!! As an independent converter, we need all the free advertising we can get! More importantly this is Fabulous Exposure for printed Organic Cotton!

Here are some photos. My husband took most of these photos, and I really wouldn't have posted the ones with me in them, except that they showed the whole booth best. If I look a little tired, sorry, jet lag and booth set up will do it to you:)

P.S. Circa 50 by Monaluna is available @ www.fabricworm.com and will also be available in many of your favorite shops soon.
