July 15, 2024 – Northcott is proud to announce the launch of its newest division, Anna Maria Textiles, led by the celebrated designer Anna Maria Parry (formerly Horner). This exciting new venture will introduce a dedicated brand for Anna Maria’s distinctive designs. The first offerings from Anna Maria Textiles will be available for wholesale order starting September 2024, delivering to stores in early 2025.
Anna Maria Parry, a name synonymous with vibrant and innovative textile design, brings her unique vision and expertise to Anna Maria Textiles. With a legacy of creating intricate and thoughtful prints that inspire quilters, sewists, and crafters globally, Anna Maria is set to continue to inspire with an expanse of future offerings.
Following the September launch, Anna Maria Textiles will continue to release a diverse group of new collections three times a year. This range will include both ongoing and limited-release quilting cottons and precuts, yarn dyed wovens, coordinating patterns, kits, sew-alongs and more. With the support of Northcott’s expertise in production and distribution, Anna Maria Textiles marries the creative voice of Anna Maria with a high standard of quality, innovation, customer support, and community engagement.
“I am so proud and honored to be partnering with Northcott to bring my own division, Anna Maria Textiles, to life,” said Anna Maria Parry. “I’ve been given very meaningful support to focus on my development as an artist and to rely on decades of experience as a business owner, creative director, instructor and retailer in the craft, quilting and sewing industry. As I expand upon my diverse sensibilities in design, shops can look forward to more choices of styles, palettes, scales and fabric types in our collections. The quilter and crafter can look forward to a steady stream of projects and inspiration to meet them wherever they are in their craft. So much beauty is on the way!”
Northcott is excited to support Anna Maria Textiles as it embarks on this new journey. Known for “cottons that feel like silk,” Northcott’s dedication to quality will be carried through to Anna Maria Textiles, providing the versatility and soft hand feel that quilters know and love.
