Proofs of fabric for preorders
It has been many years in the making. I started with an idea to get together a large order of Loteria print by Alexander Henry. This took me over 5 years to do. I collected 2500 yds on backorder for the reprint of the fabric. But alas, basically couldn't get a reprint because of a copyright issue. I was crushed.
A light popped on in my mind.... an idea that would allow my customers to have the "Loteria" fabric but with a twist. How about a mixture of the Mexican card game and Dia de los Muertos! About a two years ago, I arranged a meeting with the owner of Alexander Henry.The owner was very interested. Early August 2012 I met with the owner again. I heard that my idea was put into action and they were going to print! Yaay!. He brought me over to a small room and I saw it. It's beautiful, my eyes teared up. My idea of Loteria with Day of the Dead on fabric. After I got to see the proofs of the fabric, I met & chatted with Nicole, one of the awesome fabric designers at AH. She is really nice and fun to talk to. There are 5 colorways available on this fabric. Natural, Black & Natural, Black, Light Pink and Tea.
Fabric bolted and stacked, over 6ft high!
