Pagoda Lullaby

Tina Givens, "Pagoda Lullaby Scale" in Grenadine.  Voile.  Free Spirit Fabrics.  Image from and available at Pink Chalk Fabrics.

Devil Damask

Devil Damask, by Timorous Beasties, in Black on Honey.  Velvet.  2012.

Flower Field

Flower Field, Skinny laMinx, in Rosy.  Cotton linen blend. 

South African designer Heather Moore, aka Skinny laMinx, screenprints some pretty smokin' patterns.  It's a little pricey (about $59/yard in her Etsy shop) but for fancy home dec fabric handmade, independent, and well-designed, par for the course I suppose!   This print is definitely crushworthy. 

Majestic Oak

Joel Dewberry, "Majestic Oak," Modern Meadow Collection, First Bloom colorway.  2011.

Melody Miller's famous Typewriters

Why the obsession with Japanese fabric?[gallery]

Ooh yes, that's why.  Despite the cost (about $22.00/yd on Etsy), you can order just a fat quarter, cut the typewriters out (you'll get about 7), and applique them.  A pretty reasonable value for something so darn cute.  A great design stands alone:

Zig-Zag Ikat

Lacefield Designs, Zig-Zag Ikat in Raspberry.  Danish linen (yum!) and cotton blend. 

Zig-Zags are wildly popular right now, though they're often incorrectly referred to as chevrons (Chevrons don't continually repeat like a zig-zag.  One "zag" or two vertically would be a chevron--think military insignia.).
