Tula Pink Curiouser and Curiouser

Well, Tula Pink hit pay dirt again with a beautiful collection of prints based on Lewis Carroll’s tale of Alice in Wonderland. Twenty-five fabrics capture the whimsical spirit of Lewis Carroll’s beloved story. As the folks at Free Spirit Fabrics say –

” When the weight of the world is too much I turn to needle and thread. This collection focuses on some of the most memorable themes and characters from the story. Our two main characters for the collection are Alice, of course, and the Red Queen. Alice sits in a sweet wreath of daisies with her cat Dinah on her shoulder. In the background are the white rabbits poised to lead Alice down the rabbit hole. Both portrait prints are designed to easily cut down to 8 1/2 inch squares without cutting into the next portrait. There is a lot to discover in this collection and everything has meaning from the original story. Alice falls down the rabbit hole surrounded by curious objects in “Down the Rabbit Hole”.

When Alice first gets to the bottom of the Rabbit Hole she grows so tall that she can’t fit through the door to Wonderland and she begins to cry. As she shrinks, her tears flood out the little door taking her and many Wonderland residents with the current in a print called “Sea of Tears”. The “Cheshire” cat looms in the night sky watching over Wonderland. Painted, spotted roses still dripping with wet paint sit on a background of oversize spots just hoping to blend in and escape the Queen’s notice.

 A wide stripe of vines grow out of the selvage scooping up a Mad Hatter’s tea party. There is so much more to discover. Curiouser and Curiouser features a total of 25 detailed prints in full, vibrant color, plus two, 108 inch backing fabrics. The collection is designed to be loud and exuberant while working seamlessly with True Colors!”

Yep loud and exuberant is a good definition for anything from Tula Pink. Besides her fabric, Tula Pink also partners with Aurifil for a curated thread collection to match up with her line. The thread collection consists of 20 small spools of 50 weight thread in the perfect shades to compliment her fabrics.

But besides her fabric, the folks at Free Spirit offer some gorgeous FREE patterns for these fabrics, all with an Alice in Wonderland motif. So let’s check out their offerings.
