fabric favorites 2009

Kim over at True Up just posted a fabric meme.  2009 favorites.  Oooo…I like to talk fabric. 

Following her categories, here are my favorites:
1. Favorite Quilting Weight  Cotton Collection:
Good Folks by Anna Maria Horner. I rarely like more than two prints for any collection.  I loved so many in the Good Folks collection!

Several colorful fabrics designed by Anna Maria Horner are shown.

2.  Favorite Digitally Printed Fabric
Birdies. As the answer to many of the following questions will tell you, I got really into indie fabrics this year.  One of my favorite indie prints is Birdies by Aunt June, she has these printed at Spoonflower.

Bird fabric by Aunt June / Lauren Hunt is shown.

3.  Favorite Handprinted Fabric
Skinny La Minx did a series based on ancient cave paintings from the Cederberg mountains North of Cape Town, South Africa. I love Herds in particular.
