M’Liss has designed an exclusive line of fabrics featuring a variety of vibrant colors – a M’Liss specialty – and some of her favorite and popular themes. Her artsy floral groups include: M’Liss’s Garden, Garden Court, and Spring Bouquet - all inspired by her gardens. In addition, her new line of fabrics also incorporates the travel-themed Experience the World with M’Liss, and the whimsical feline collection simply entitled, Meow. “These designs were very fun to do. And, because they are pre-coordinated, they will save customers time,” said M’Liss. All of the fabrics are 100% cotton, with a total of over 40 designs available at a price of $6.99 per yard. Look for additional collections, including a dog-inspired line, to be available in stores later this year.
