Birch Fabrics Quilt Market Teaser #4 + Giveaway

Circa 52 + Giveaway

As promised, we are showcasing the best photography from our Circa 52 photo shoot.  The entertaining designs and cool color palette of the Circa 52 prints truly came to life when we set everything up for the shoot, and the sun started to shine on the yard.


















The collection was designed to be free spirited and fun for all ages with whimsical vehicles, spaceships, robots and woodland creatures that are unified with a distinctive contemporary palette.


















The children's sense of adventure truly brought the shoot to life.  They looked adorable in the darling clothing that had such sweet little details.   They had a blast rolling around on the bean bags,  hiding in the tee pees and roasting marshmallows.


















Our mission as a company is to provide an environmentally friendly cotton alternative to the quilting and sewing communities.  Circa 52, as with all of our collections, is printed with low impact dyes on 100% organic cotton certified by GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard).  We love our planet, believe in living green, and know that together we can make a difference, one yard at a time.   























We loved this dress!


















We had such a smashing day, and it was work! 

Circa 52 - Available November 2011

A wonderful company called, Little Free Radical, owned by Crystal Evans used some of our Storyboek fabric collection to make some gorgeous baby gifts that were given out to numerous stars in the CBK Luxury Gift Lounges at the 63rd Annual Emmys!

Little Free Radical in association with the Artistan Group, an exclusive community of talented artisans, that collectively provides a lovely sampling of handcrafted products to celebrities and members of the press at major award show luxury Gift Lounges, made darling cloth balls and whales with the Birch Fabrics Storyboek 100% organic fabric collection.

Morgan Keilly with Kathryn Joosten


















How sweet are these cloth balls and whales that Crystal made with our fabric, they are perfect little gifts.

















Crystal and her company, Litte Free Radical, has a heartwarming story that you must read.  Their collection of products is sweet and classic with a contemporary twist...now if we could only get Crystal to make a tutu with some of our prints too!

A Sneak Peak at Birch Fabrics Circa 52


This past weekend we organized a photo-shoot of some wonderful products we crafted with the Circa 52 fabric collection that we will debut at Quilt Market in a few weeks.  We are fortunate to live in California, enjoying wonderful weather most of the year and this weekend didn't disappoint; we had such beautiful sunny days for the shoot.

Circa 52 is a follow up collection to the highly successful Circa 50, both designed exclusively for Birch Fabrics by Monaluna.  Circa 52 is an eclectic collection of whimsical retro designs with an inviting contemporary color palette.


Here are a few behind-the-scenes photographs from the shoot as we set everything up and the children played.

Quilt Market Teaser #2

Birch Fabrics Commute Sneak Peak

Our Commute strike-offs just arrived!  The collection really comes to life when you see these lovely fabrics.  Designed for all of us on the "Go," this contemporary collection is perfect for children, especially boys but I'd love to see a twirly skirt in the "Bike It" (multi-color bike pattern) print too.  We also see our prints lending a fresh contemporary vibe to your home decor projects as well; this collection would be super as accent pillows or slipcovers.



 Come visit us during market at booth #1548-1550.

Enjoy
