iQcotton is Creating Art Connections!

Connecting with the creative communities of fiber, textile and surface design artists is an exciting part of building the foundation of iQcotton as a materials resource, and a place of art and storytelling inspiration!

...and what wonderful serendipity that our first printed advertisement would appear in the Summer 2012 issue of Surface Design alongside Marci Rae McDade's editorial message titled "Cultivating Community"!


We hope you'll browse and enjoy the publication, explore the Surface Design Association for the possibilities of participating, and look forward to supplying iQcotton textiles for your current and future projects!

Narrative Quilts: Myths, Legends and Lore!


Stories are the binding fibers of life and living. They transport us through history, connect us in the present and transcend time as they reach into the future. Stories engage us in the meaning of the world in which we live and the universe that surrounds us.

...and the textile arts are a beautiful way to convey all of this, and so much more! Whether you're a quilter, a collage artist, or the creator of wearable art, we hope you'll discover a special connection between the expression of your art and the collections of iQcotton fabrics based in the imaginative worlds of myths, legends and lore.

Enjoy the celebration of our first series: Spirit of the Rising Sun! This beautiful summer collection features the story of our sun's journey across the sky, and a a color palette of rich, earthen red, burnt orange, maize yellow and warming browns.

...and watch for the announcement of our next series very soon: Living Mermaids of the Erythrean Sea! We're sure you'll delight in the story of how these Sea Sprites serenade the moon from beautiful sea gardens with their flutes, and give rise to the tides. The colors selected for this series will include a gorgeous palette from the depths of the ocean and the many mysterious creatures that live within it!

Vibrant, Beautiful, Bold and Vivid!


A hallmark of the fabric created at iQcotton is the depth and richness of color: vibrant, beautiful, bold and vivid!

iQcotton begins with high quality textiles, and adds unique designs and creative color palettes produced using fiber reactive dyes. These dyes chemically bond to the fabrics and are subject to secondary high steam heat processing and dye-setting -- all before being laundered and steam pressed in preparation for delivery to the artisan customers who know and love the fiber arts!

Textile artisans put their hearts and souls into every project -- from art quilts to pillows and throws, from journals and handmade books to fiber collage, from cuffs and collars to pockets and purses and wearable art! We do the same. We put our hearts and souls into the development of every collection and series. This is the commitment we affirm and reaffirm every day to the development of our brand and company reputation. It's also the commitment we make to you as our current and future customers!

We welcome your visits to our website, to processing your orders, and to news of your fun and fabulous art adventures using iQcotton product lines!
