My Apologies to John Hopper
Hello,
(image from The textile blog, via Apartment Therapy)
I've been blogging about Neville Tricket lately and somehow mixed him up with another wonderful man, called John Hopper.
How did that happen? Well, they both share a great love for art for instance, they have both wonderful Flickr photostreams, BUT John Hopper is the one with a strong love for textiles and a very organized blog and photostream about the subject.
The man is good, believe me, and he's been mentioned on Apartment Therapy, right here.
Here is where you can find him (apart from Cornwall, in the UK - Neville lives in Durban, South Africa):
Flickr : dis-ordered
Blog : The Textile blog
And again, my apologies!

illustration and she has an online folio here.

Leanne Culy : amazing textiles from NZ!
Grace over at the delightful Design*Sponge blog recently made an amazing find, amazing textile design by Leanne Culy. Here is what Grace says:
"the beautiful textiles above and below are the work of leanne culy, an incredible designer based in new zealand. leanne recently designed a line of fabric for home base collections in NZ that reflects her love of nature, a sense of softness and the sense of place that she feels is unique to new zealand. all of the fabrics in leanne’s line for home base collections are produced with the least environmental impact possible- using biodegradable yarns grown without pesticides. you can find more information on leanne’s collection right here- and all of the beautiful photos above and below are by leanne’s husband!"
This one is a particularly delightful photo! :-)
And last but not least, there's even a textile that fits my latest visual obsession, bare tree branches with berries on them... :-)
enjoy!

"Checker Split" pattern
Anna of doorsixteen fame says of her own interior : "This IKEA rug (below) was clearly inspired by Alexander Girard's "Checker Split" fabric (as seen above), one of my favorite patterns."
The original "Checker Split" fabric by Alexander Girard, 1965 as compared to the Alvine Triangel rug from IKEA : 
Alexander Girard's style clearly inspired other designs, like this doormat : 
and this 1975 bedspread, (and so on) :
Another variation on the IKEA rug can be seen at Wiz's place:
and this place, too.
(this last image from the delighful "Anna's misc. inspirations" set on Flickr.)

LOTTA's linen remnant bags
Here is what they say at LOTTA's:
"We hate to waste precious pieces of material so we have filled a cute bag with Lotta Jansdotter linen fabric remnants in a range of colors and sizes. Each bag is filled with approx. 36x24" of fabric, often more, and each is composed by Lotta herself. There is at least 5 different patterns in each bag and no two bags are alike. They are perfect for quilting projects , collage and for smaller projects such as checkbook covers, pouches and pincushions."
I find it a fab idea!
enjoy!
