Fern fabrics have a timeless appeal. Whether it is someone who loves nature or someone who loves antiques, they seem to go with anything! Too grandmotherly? Not all of them are! Fern fabrics are to the earth what coral fabrics are to the sea!

COSTUMES AT THE VENICE CARNIVAL – Saturday, 23 April 2011
In 2009 we sold a small amount of the Faberge egg fabric to a man in Germany. Aways curious what people plan to do with fabric, we inquired what its use would be. The answer was a true surpise.
The man buying the fabric was Horst Raack, a goldsmith, and costume designer. He was doing a series of costumes for the Venice, Italy Carnival costume contest in 2011. The theme was Faberge. And he won! All of his costumes received first prizes!

SUNDAY in MAINE – Sunday, 17 April 2011
Well, yesterday it was 26 degrees F. when we got up. It was just plain cold! Frost on the fields, grey skies. Is Easter really just a week away?? And then it started to blow, and did it blow yesterday evening, and throughout the night. Rain lashed the windows, and the wind howled through the still leafless trees. It is funny how you can hear the wind when the trees are leafless, but not when they are leafed out in the summer. Outside the primroses are still shining through it all, but the crocuses are closed up tight. Down in the lower fields there is standing water. A good day to make soup!

FABRIC of the WEEK – 22 March 2011
YELLOW CHICKEN TOILE FABRIC
This classic chicken rooster toile fabric always gets a lot of attention. A classic toile with a French look, this seems to have a bit of everything! A large central medalion has a typical scene of a rooster and hen out for a walk. A small flowering plant, a grape vine, and a basket of fruit and flowers embellish it. And surrounding the medalion are arabesques and swags festooned with fruits and flowers. Further interest are baskets hanging from the swags. While some have more fruit and flowers, others hold gardening implements! A blue bird further enlives the whole.
CHICKEN WIRE TOILE FABRIC
For a fresh look in a chicken or rooster toile fabric see the chicken wire toile fabrics. These are done in a painterly manner, having the look of a water color! Large colored roosters and hens wander around a farm, followed by chickens that seem to be asking questions! We have it in a blue or a yellow colorway. They are equally popular!
CHICKEN WIRE TOILE YELLOW
The yellow version of the chicken wire toile fabric is very yellow!!! The roosters and hens are tones of olive, blue, and brown. We have the companion fabric that goes with this.
For these and all of the other chicken toile fabrics see the CHICKEN DUCK FABRICS in the Bird Category.
