Jessica Jones Textiles and Blog

I have long been a fan of Jessica Jones and her awesome blog How About Orange, so much so that I initially withheld sharing the blog with my friends for greedy personal reasons. Aside from the amazing tutorials and free paper projects and fonts, I especially love her awesome fabric print collections. Her most recent collection, Outside Oslo, is my favorite so far, because it is playfully and simply Scandinavian in theme, it's colorways are both smartly sophisticated and fun, yet it is accessible in availability and price. And it's not from IKEA. Though I do love IKEA fabric.  You may recognize the fabric photo below as the same that is in my blog title picture. I REALLY like this fabric.

I own the IKEA rocking chair in this picture. I'm not sure what that says about me.

This blog was inspired by a recent trip to a local discount fabric store, where I was able to find a large quantity of her Amusement Park Fireworks home decor weight fabric! In my amazement, I bought the whole lot, of course, and can't decide whether to recover a rocking chair cushion (see above) or make a shoulder bag. Or maybe both, since I bought enough to start my own fabric store.  

I bought this one...

And would also like this one.

I hope I'm lucky enough to find some of her Outside Oslo collection here in the Valley soon, though I'll probably just break down and buy it full-price from her website.
Be sure to browse through her super-awesome blog. But beware, you'll be stuck there forever looking through all the tutorials, free downloads, and "time wasters" she has posted.
