Market View Magazine - Issue #2 (Summer 2016)

Hello everyone! 

Cats and flowers and giraffes and buttons - another great assortment of fabrics from 

Benartex, Kanvas and Contempo. 

We’re always looking for the latest and greatest themes when it comes to fabrics, and 

once again we’ve outdone ourselves. Simply Chic is simply pretty - a nod back to the 

70’s that has instant appeal to our quilters. Cheryl’s done it again with wonderful Folk 

Art Crafty Cats, and Maria’s Love American Style will make you start humming 

“Yankee Doodle Dandy.” But wait...there’s more! 

Amanda Murphy’s Sewing Room is a fun tribute to all things sewing - just check out 

the whimsical designs and colors. And we have Sun-Drenched Balis, cool tone on tone 

prints, and even some time honored paisleys for your customers to choose from. 

Be sure to check out the fun and colorful 

FREE quilt patterns - lots of cool projects! 

Thank you for your continued support of 

Benartex, and best wishes for this season.

Cool trend, cool fabrics - all based on 

chalkboard effects and colors. What does it 

all mean? Subtle grays, whites and blacks 

that can be used as textures in your other 

projects, or alone as actual “chalkboards.” 

(Create a wallhanging with these skus, then 

add a message in white lettering to look like 

a blackboard. Just think of the fun messages 

you could create!) Also a 

great background to 

appliqué on!

Sometimes less is more - especially when it 

comes to these very, very subtle 

tone-on-tone fabrics. There’s wedding lace, 

starfish, dandelions, daisies, and more, 

all delicately etched in silver-and-white or 

taupe-and-white on a pure white ground. 

The effect is heavenly - what a cool way 

to add delicate texture to a project (or to 

add a special effect to a quilt backing). 

Also cool for apparel and accessories: think 

bridal or spring for loads of design options.

Black and white is always dramatic, and 

when you combine them with Sara 

Vedeler’s fabrics, the design possibilities 

are endless! Mix and match to make great 

art quilts or accessories. Or create some 

great pillows to spice up a drab sofa. 

Transformations makes creativity easy! 

Make sure to check out Sara’s multi-colored 

version of this collection. Transformation.

Three cheers for the red, white, and blue! This is 

more than just a patriotic line - it’s a collection that 

can be used year round! Think Memorial Day, 4th 

of July, Labor Day, Veteran’s Day, summer picnics... 

the list goes on and on. The daisies are bright and 

fun and the mini prints add to the playfulness of the 

group. Check out the dotted stripe: cut it apart in 

strips, cut squares, and sew back together for an 

instant quilt.

Turquoise and lime green - what a cool combination! Mix it with large 

mod-style flowers and exuberant paisleys. Add circles and giant 

medallions, and you have a trend-setting collection that is perfect for 

both quilting and modern home dec projects. We loved the touches 

of deep navy and white for contrast - it makes the collection sparkle! 

No wonder they called it “Nirvana!”

Marseille, a bustling 

French port with a rich 

history dating back to 

ancient Greece, was 

the inspiration for this 

graceful fabric 

collection. Deep 

bordeaux reds, lush 

greens, and antique 

ivory reflect the colors 

and traditions of the 

city. The beautiful 

florals recall a time of 

fine design and 

elegance.
