FAVE TEXTILE DESIGNER OF THE DAY: ETSUKO FURUYA


She designs the Echino line for a Japanese fabric company called Kokka. (They make a wide range of really adorable prints) But her work stands out. It's mostly uphostery weight fabric good for pillows and bags but someday I'll make a dress out if one of these.

Some of her fabrics can be found on Ebay. There are also a few online sellers who specialize in Japanese imports like superbuzzy.com
Lots of natural motifs without being too sweet and girly. And her color choices are so unique it creates a distinctive palette.
