Good Questions: Identify This Mod Textile Pattern?

3-19-curtains-fabric.jpg

Alicia Paulson of Posie Gets Cozy has really bright, mod curtains in her living room that she made from fabric she found at reprodepot.com a few years ago. I'm hoping someone will recognize this delightful pattern and knows whether this design is still being made. I'd love to know more (and hopefully purchase a few yards as well). Thanks!

If you haven't already contacted ReproDepot — I'd start there. I'd also suggest IKEA, as they've recently upgraded the majority of their US locations with larger and better fabric departments that carry a wide range of really nice textiles (at a fraction of the price of similar designs from Marimekko). You should have no difficulty finding something similar to this design at IKEA.

Anyone else?

I agree that it will be easy to find this look at Ikea and especially at Marimekko.

I think it may be Joel Dewberry from his Ginseng collection.

I would just ask Alicia of Posy. She seems really accessible.

Thanks for posting my question so quickly! :-)

I actually did e-mail Alicia a few months ago. She was very nice and quickly responded, but she didn't have much information on the fabric, other than where she purchased it (ReproDepot).

The Modern Bud fabric from Joel Dewberry's Ginseng collection does look similar; I also found a print by Heather Bailey in a similar pattern. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this pattern actually a newer design, so that I can find a few yards! I've also seen it in a blue/green colorway.

Thanks for all your ideas; keep 'em coming! :-)

It's Robert Kaufman, part of his Melrose line back a few years ago. Sorry for the bad news, but it's very covetable fabric, very hard to find. It did come in a few other gorgeous colorways.

You can find some scrap pieces here and there on etsy, by doing a search on "robert kaufman fabric"; a lot of sellers use them for projects and goods and may be willing to part with some scraps.

Sweet. Better a few years ago than 40, right?

Thanks, selena! :-)

The star of the picture is beautiful Clover Meadow, the corgi.

is a site entirely about fabric and pattern. If you took a close up photo of the print, perhaps Kim would post about it? Selena sounds confident and correct, but posting to that fabric-specific blog may help with leads.

Thanks, Loosetooth; I ran across that blog in a Google search, and e-mailed her ... no response yet!
