Jim Shore

I was so excited yesterday when I found that one of my favourite designers Jim Shore
Had a fabric range. Of course you probably all knew that especially my American friends....For those of you who don't know Jim Shore he does some fabulous ornaments.
A few years ago I paid quite a lot of money for a beautiful Noah's Ark and its one of my most treasured possessions. Sadly as I'm at work at the mo I haven't got a picture but here are some other pictures to give you some idea. It seems like it may be difficult to source his fabric in the UK so if any one in the USA can point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful.



So what do you think.... I just LOVE these designs.

    I did a quick search and he has a web site with his fabric on it - http://www.jimshore.com/content/

    I'm not sure what the cost would be to get it shipped to you but it certainly is a place to start. Good luck!

    Hi Karen,

    They certainly look lovely...I hadn't heard of him before...we probably won't get his fabrics here either *rueful :)*
    Hugs,
    Sharon

    Thank you for popping by and leaving a comment. I love that fabric but have never heard of the artist before. Now I can look out for other prints.

    I've heard of him! I bought a Christmas carving of his, a couple of years ago and it is really lovely!

    The artist is fabulous! He also has the greatest figurines and things that have to do with quilting. I love this fabric and will have to look into finding some. Thanks for sharing!

    Hi Karen, I didn't realize Jim Shore had ventured into designing fabrics. I have a snowman sculpture by him and love it. He does have some beautiful things. If I run across the fabric, I'll be sure to let you know.

    Beautiful prints, in my eye the more colour the better. I'd love to own a Noah's Ark, but haven't yet found the perfect one for me. x
