My favourite prints from Alexander Henry's Autumn 09 Folkloric Range - Coming Soon!


Azucar, pretty sugar skulls with glittery bits!


Cute Piñatas, I really love this one, it would make a great fabric to brighten up kid's rooms.

And finally, what's not to love about Señor Burrito?

Hoping to have these prints in my eBay shop as soon as they are available, they currently have a vague ship date of June - August, so hopefully not too much longer to wait.

Based in Burbank, California Alexander Henry Fabrics lead the industry with its cutting- edge, conversational print designs. They introduce new collections twice a year and although their collection is vast, I stick with just the Folkloric range as this fits nicely into my Mexicana collection.

Flora de los Muertos, a rare find from Alexander Henry

After much pondering, I have decided to put up for sale, the last few yards of Florade los Muertos, an out of print fabric from Alexander Henry's 2004 Folkloric range. I managed to get about 14 yards of this a couple of years ago from a US fabric seller, of course that was when the dollar was weak, so it still made sense to be able to buy for resale then. I had plans for these last few yards, but it occurs to me that since I don't own a sewing machine and can barely cut in a straight line, there are probably others more worthy of owning a precious fat quarter or two of this wonderful dreamlike mix of day of the dead and papel picado design. For those who find it, enjoy!

I adore AH's Folkloric fabric range, and am sad to see the passing of some fantastic prints, I hope one day they will make a return to print, we can but hope!

Loteria, this was the funkiest fabric ever, and I kick myself whenever I remember I never kept any back for myself! It was available with black, natural or tea backgrounds.

Cabeza's, this one was available in black, white, red and turquoise backgrounds

Star Signs - I managed to get about 10 panels of one full repeat of this wondrous fabric, it came about 24" x 24", perfect for one-off projects!
