Liz Alpert Fay –

Liz Alpert Fay is another artist creating colorful hand-hooked pieces for the wall.

Altoon Sultan –

I’ve just been introduced to Altoon Sultan’s wonderful hooked “ruglets”. Created as art for the wall, they’re an extension of her work as a painter and contribute to her ongoing study of nature and landscape, abstraction, and the work of artists that inspire her. Click here for her paintings and here for her ruglets.

Bombay Bliss by Seema Krish –

Seema Krish’s debut collection is called Bombay Bliss and includes six patterns made in a range of fibers and techniques. There are pillows and throws — and fabric by the yard is coming next.

Barber & Osgerby -

The New York Times blog “The Moment” has a post on new carpets by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby for The Rug Company. Fun and happy, but sophisticated too.

Debra Smith –

Debra Smith uses vintage textiles to create compositions that are sewn and quilted to collage-like effect. By framing her pieces for the wall she also helps blur the art/craft distinction that often leaves fabrics in a lesser camp.

If you like Smith you might also appreciate the work of Leah Evans.

Paul Smith at Kvadrat –

Stripes by Paul Smith at Kvadrat go perfectly with rain in San Francisco.

The site is full of other contributing designers and can be easily navigated if you’re looking for a specific color, type of pattern, etc. In the U.S., fabrics featured on the site are sold through Maharam.

Alicia Keshishian –

Alicia Keshishian describes herself as “fearless” when it comes to color and I think her “geology” rug (above) proves the point! It’s pretty hard to be timid in the face of something so bold. For more about Alicia’s carpet company click here.

Jane Doyle –

Recent print references to Sol LeWitt (The New York Times Style Magazine / The World of Interiors), Betty Draper’s post-Rome house-dress (last night’s episode) and The September Issue’s exposition on color block (still in theaters) make Jane Doyle’s contemporary rag rugs feel all the more “of the moment”. Available for purchase directly from her website.

Lori Weitzner –

Above, a textile and pattern infused beauty shot from the website of design powerhouse Lori Weitzner, a woman who knows how to build an incredibly diverse, luxury brand…It’s a good image to begin the first full month of Fall — and to mark my 200th post, two years to the day after my first.

Kate Blee –

I’m excited about discovering Kate Blee and her wonderful website showcasing her textiles for wall, floor and body. Above, her “Multiply” carpet.
