The Califon line (already in its 4th or 5th printing and about to be retired) was produced by Northcott Fabrics, which created a whole division just for him - Mark Lipinski’s Home for Northcott . At the upcoming Houston Quilt Market (October 25 through 27) Mark will unveil a line of blender fabrics featuring about 25 or 30 colors to coordinate with Krakow and Califon. I asked Mark if he had any upcoming classes or retreats in Michigan and he raved about a retreat he did with the Michigan Quilt Network this summer. Mark will be back in Michigan Monday August 17 through Thursday August 20, 2009 at the Michigan Quilt Network retreat at Thunder Bay Resort.
