At AQS Syracuse, my favorite booth was the Frond Fabric booth. The colors were breathtaking. I had never seen this fabric. Although I made myself look all through the booths, I came back, bought some, came back, bought more. It is a good thing I had to go home. The Frond fabric starts as real paintings, not digital. They are then used to print the fabric. The colors are so saturated. I was able to talk to the founder of Frond, Stephanie Brandenburg, and gush how much I loved it. Everyone working in the booth was so passionate about their fabric. It was such fun to have them show the fabric. They had lots of 1/2 yards in bags, so I could try a lot of them. I love the plaster of paris, raku, and colorwash fabrics. I bought a crazy print also. I used the Canon SLR at home to photo them, but you can go to their site, http://www.fronddesignstudios.com/, and see them better.
Now, I have to figure out how to make a quilt out of them. I wish Wanda lived next door, I would bug her about these over coffee.
No one in my area carries them, as people here love repros, Civil War, mostly very greyed, traditional fabric in the stores.
