Quilt Market: FreeSpirit

Hey, hey we're the monkeys.

And people say we monkey around.

Tula Pink has gone bananas! 

"Monkey Wrench tells the story of a mischievous monkey named Bananas...Bananas has a simple mission, and that is to distract you from the mundane and introduce a little spontaneity into your life whether you like it or not."

"The moral of the story is choose fun, give in to happiness, keep your eyes peeled, and DON'T SLIP on the bananas!"

It's quite certain last year's potential division closure by Coats & Clark, and last minute redemption by Jaftex certainly made for a wrench in the lives of the Free Spirit designers. However, come Market, they were glowing with a vivacious glimpse of the future.

The Monkey Wrench collection, coming this September, has 19 prints, 3 wide backs, and precuts.

Anna Maria showed off her booth full of moody, deep hues in a spectrum of hues.

For today only, Target has decor items 30% off! I love their 13" fabric cubes for storing fabric. Take my word for it, these babies store a ton of fabric pretty inconspicuously. I like to them the bin style to the fabric inside. For example, I have a southwestern bin for my fabrics of that type, a cutesy floral for my Stacy Iest Hsu
