Eco fabrics keep getting better and better! Jan DiCintio, founder of Daisy Janie, is a surface and textiles designer who just launched an organic modern fabric collection called Geo Grand. Geo Grand is bright and bold in 6 fresh patterns and colorways like aqua, sky, espresso, chartreuse and white. Jan's self-produced fabrics are 100% GOTS*certified organic cotton and are similar in feel/weight to quilters’ cottons so you can use them for home decorating and crafts in addition to creating your next quilt or throw pillow! My favorite of the bunch is ogee, shown directly below. It's lovely and I can imagine it as throw pillows on a white sofa like mine!
All fabrics are sold on a wholesale basis to independent fabric retailers as well as
product manufacturers in the US and internationally. To find a dealer nearest to you, please refer to this stocklist or to purchase online, visit Contemporary Cloth or Modern Organic Fabrics.
*GOTS = Global Organic Textile Standard.

So thrilled to see Daisy Janie’s work over here. I have adored my work for a long time and I use of patterns/color are simply divine.
Oh my gosh, I said “my” work. Of course I meant “her” work. And “I use” should be “her use”. Where’s the edit button when you need one? Oh and the coffee. :/
Ogee is also my favorite, but I’m intrigued by Caravan as well.
I have loved Jan’s work over the years – I have purses, walls (!), and pillows to prove it! She is so talented, and so far-thinking in her concern about the environment. I am thrilled to see her with this kind of exposure. You go, girl!

another cool resource! not sure if Spoonflower have organic fabrics but I like the idea of making your own designs.
Organic fabrics are great. They don’t cause skin irritation or allergies because they are completely natural.
