Exciting New Line of Fabric from David Butler

Parson Gray, a design brand created by David Butler, effuses a modern and naturalistic style appealing to both men and women. His first collection of prints, "Curious Nature" offers three colorways, with a smaller sampling of laminates. "The collection is a folk modern interpretation of natural elements. It weaves together a balance of hand-drawn patterns inspired by Japanese indigo and mid-century fine art. The palette is grounded in richly muted nature tones evoking deep forest and dark ocean balanced by bone ivory and oyster grays." (taken from facebook page)

You can win this bag!! See the facebook page for details. The winner will be chosen August 1st, 2012.
David Butler is the husband of the eponymous textile designer Amy Butler, whose intense, unique, and richly colorful patterns revolutionized the quilting world. 


What I love about this collection is the modern lines and sensibilities, and the color palettes, which though simple manage to not be boring or drab. I love how the orange ottoman pouf (cocoons - robe) really pops in the above picture. Also with a little boy and a husband in the house, my fabric stash could use an infusion of masculine prints in case I suddenly find time to sew them something.
