Erin discusses sustainability on “WDWHT?” Podcast

March 10, 2016

Why Do We Have Things? the podcast

I had such a great time chatting with Erin Husted of Hackwith Design House for the Why Do We Have Things? podcast a few weeks ago. Our conversation dug into the idea of sustainability in business, and all the different forms that can take. If you’re curious about my commitment to sustainable, natural materials, or how I approach sustainability in my business practices, have a listen!

What’s new at C&F – February Recap

March 1, 2016

Sunset Magazine - up and coming textile designers

Despite an extra Leap Day, February flew by, and there’s been lots going on around Cotton & Flax HQ. I was delighted to be featured in Sunset Magazine’s list of up-and-coming textile designers this month! So flattering!!

It also a fun month for collaborations: I created this lovely little printable Valentine’s box with Emma Trithart, which would be a sweet gift for any time of year.

Bold black and white quilt from QuiltCon 2016

I visited QuiltCon here in Pasadena, and was so inspired by all the incredible works I saw there. You can take a peek at a couple other quilts I spotted over on Instagram.

Yolk in Silverlake

Last but not least, I added a couple wonderful new stockists! Yolk in Los Angeles, and Pink House Alchemy in Bentonville, AR. I love working with brick and mortar shops to showcase my work – you can read more about my stockists, and the many lovely shops that carry my designs.

Happy March, everyone! Lots of exciting projects in the works for this month, can’t wait to share.

Creative Thursday interview

January 8, 2016

Erin printing at Cotton & Flax

Back in 2014, Marisa Anne Cummings stopped by Cotton & Flax headquarters to interview me for her new series, Creative Thursday. I was one of her first interviews for the video podcast, and I’m excited to share that the series is now live.

I was nervous for this interview (one of my first on camera!), but the conversation that I had with Marisa was so engaging that the time flew by. In the interview, we chat about running a business, goal setting, creativity, and lots more. You even get a peek in my tiny studio to see me printing some tea towels. Check out my episode, and let me know what you think!

November Recap

December 1, 2015

Cotton & Flax Stockist Vuela

What?! It’s December?! This year is flying by, so I’m taking time each month to recap all the amazing things happening at Cotton & Flax.

First, we added two new retail stockists: Cedar & Hyde in Boulder, and White Rabbit in Iowa City. Lots of our current brick and mortar stockists got fresh merchandise this season, so check out all our stockists to find places to Shop Small this season.

West Coast Craft in San Francisco

Cotton & Flax at Eastside Handmade

I had so much fun at Eastside Handmade and West Coast Craft! These seasonal events are a great opportunity for me to get out of the studio and share my work with a new audience. Even though the bigger shows can be exhausting, I love the experience of talking about my work with hundreds of creative, like-minded shoppers. It was great to test out a few new products, too, like these keyfobs made in collaboration with Deakin Handmade!

Sunset Magazine Gift Guide 2015

This month, Cotton & Flax got some pretty exciting press coverage: Sunset Magazine included our forest green confetti coasters in their gift guide! Our products were also featured in lots of online gift guides and round-ups, including Design Milk, Sweet Paul, and Ink+Smog Editions.
