Neptune
So here it is! I am so proud of this collection that I could spit, if spitting didn’t totally gross me out. I have been making tons of stuff out of this and can’t wait to actually finish something so I can show it to you. I suppose you have already guessed the theme, it’s dogs! Just kidding. I grew up on the coast so this is especially special to me. It feels like home. I am landlocked here is Dallas so Neptune is a little tribute to what I miss most about California, the ocean. It was freakin’ cold so I didn’t go in it all that much but I looked at it a lot and that’s gotta count for something, right? Neptune will be hitting the shops in March. It will give you something to look forward to through the winter.

Love it, love it, love it! Great work! This *might* be better than Flutterby… guess I’ll find out in March!
I really love the deep sea colorway! Thank you for sharing!
November 13th, 2008 at 9:13 am
This is gorgeous! I totally love it!
November 13th, 2008 at 9:14 am
I think these two just won the world record for the fast response EVER! I was barely done posting this sucker.
November 13th, 2008 at 9:20 am
OMG This entire line just makes me happy!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!!!!
November 13th, 2008 at 9:22 am
First time posting to your blog. I am a fan. I love this. I especially like Deep Sea. Reminds me of something specific in my childhood. Writing from Santa Monica California. Native California and proud of it.
November 13th, 2008 at 9:32 am
I love it! And once I can get my hands on some, it will make a beautiful quilt for my parents lakeside house. Great work, once again!
November 13th, 2008 at 9:36 am
this is so pretty. i absolutely love the colors…especially the dark blue.
November 13th, 2008 at 9:36 am
Just beautiful! I’ve been on a fabric diet, but this is definitely going to make me binge!
November 13th, 2008 at 9:43 am
It looks so great! Congrats on another success!
November 13th, 2008 at 9:53 am
Wow! I’m not the nautical type but I have to have some when it comes out. I absolutely love your color choices and the turtle patterned fabric.
November 13th, 2008 at 9:59 am
I love love this line! That center navy just wows me, I love the depth of color. I’m working on a fun Neptune project now as you know. Featuring my not-so-great embroidery, which is why its taking so long. I promise, we’re headed to Disneyland but when I get back I’ll crank it out and mail it. Its so darling in my mind, I can’t wait to get it done in fabric.
You’re the greatest. xop

Oh, rats. This is a gorgeous collection, but if you ever DO dogs… Well, you know. It’d be mighty cool.
Luv,

Magnificent! When it’s available, please let us know where we can get some. Really special. You’re so talented.
I especially love the deep sea colors, not so common and rich and yummy.
I also love the ocean being a San Francisco baby.
November 13th, 2008 at 11:15 am
Hooray! Coming from another sea-deprived person. North Sea in my case. Great work Tula! Can’t wait to see what you made with it!
November 13th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Love love love! I can’t wait for it to be available - those anchors… so great! I’m already thinking of a great quilt made from these fabrics!
November 13th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
Seriously amazing! I can’t get over how much I love the turtle damask!!!
November 13th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
Awesome selection, I ‘m not gonna lie, I’m a true a fan of your work.
November 13th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
It’s absolutely gorgeous…I especially love deep sea and aqua! I can’t wait to see what you are making out of it as well!
November 13th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
yup … i definitely see some of this in my future. hope you’re doing well!
November 13th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Oh I’m so excited! I have been excited ever since your posts of the sketches for Neptune. I’m a Pisces (and I think a mermaid in a past life) so this is just like you wrote my name all over it!
Congratulations!
November 13th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Oh my goodness. I love it and you do such great work.
November 13th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Wow it’s amazing. I’m going to need a yard of each I think I couldn’t possibly pick just one! I’m totally impressed.
November 13th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Oh my goodness, it’s beautiful. I cannot WAIT to use it!! March is so far away ;_;
November 13th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
I love this collection almost beyond reason. I’ll be dreaming all winter long of what I will make with it (and saving my pennies for several yards of each of my favorites)!
November 13th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
WOW! What a collection! Awesome job!!!
November 13th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
*groan* I don’t know if I can wait til March, lol!!!! This is just too beautiful! Now to find a quilt pattern that will do it justice. And I will keep it for myself, to remind me of the ocean every time I use it. This is a stunning collection!
November 13th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
Awesome! LOVE nautical stuff. I am from Oregon, so when I lived in Dallas I also felt sooo sad to be so far away from the water. When I moved to Houston, I was so glad to be close to the water. Nobody else in TX understood because they think the gulf water is gross. It is SO much better than having no ocean at all, though!
I’m loving the anchor stripes.
November 13th, 2008 at 6:13 pm
Ooooh… The “Deep Sea” colorway just connects with my Oregonian brain so much—deep and murky like our ocean. Thanks for creating such a wonderful, wonderful line.

Love it! Glad to see something that will be right at home in my home town of Huntington Beach, CA. A unique collection!
November 14th, 2008 at 4:41 am
You are just hitting your stride. This is the best yet!
November 14th, 2008 at 5:34 am
[…] Tula Pink is previewing her new line for Moda, Neptune. Look closely. Many of the patterns subtly incorporate sea turtles and other marine creatures. Gorgeous designs, delicious colors. Watch for it in your local shop in March. See the preview. […]
November 14th, 2008 at 8:22 am
Stunning! I am SO excited about these fabrics.
November 14th, 2008 at 10:14 am
OMG… I love it… I need to get some and make me a messenger bag for my 4 yr old boy. It’s so hard to find something nice and not boring for litlte boys….
November 14th, 2008 at 10:28 am
Love it all! Can’t wait to sew with it.
November 15th, 2008 at 9:41 am
What did your monther tell you about spitting? Ok, you are right it is that beautiful. I just finished making an apron from one of the prints!!
November 15th, 2008 at 10:26 am
oh those are gorgeous!! can’t wait for it to come out - I want every one of them!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:55 am
Just awesome!! Anyone who has lived near the water, visited the water, wants to live or visit near the ocean, river, lake, stream, or knows someone ……………..it’s a must buy!!! It’s quite charming, thanks for the sneak preview, and congrats!!! Linda
November 16th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Living on the “other” coast I can absolutely say this is fabulous!
November 16th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Looooooove it! (Sung in ‘high C’)
November 16th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
As everyone else has said already, this fabric is simply amazing — every fabric is a real gem. I don’t know how I’ll decide which to choose.
November 16th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
So sophisticated and gorgeous! I love the navy!!
November 17th, 2008 at 10:41 am
wow! wish I had room in my WILTS (what I’d like to start) to get some of your line right away
November 17th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
Hi Tula
I love your new line!!!!
November 18th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Her mother told her if she was going to spit be sure to have panties with no holes…just in case.
November 18th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
Kimberly,
I love that you love her new line!!!!
November 18th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
It’s beautiful! March seems like a long time to wait
November 19th, 2008 at 8:37 am
A beautiful new line! I want to see more of this one!
November 20th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
Okay I love this line & I will have to pass it on to my mom (debboyer.blogspot.com), who is the master quilter in the family. I just stumbled upon your blog & it is so weird to read because my mom has totally made a quilt with Flutterby & is always shopping at your mom’s shop. Weird when worlds collide randomly!
Love the line! Congrats!
November 20th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
Tula, these are just stunning - how can we all wait til March?? Do do a dog design - you have to include Whippets, yes?!!
November 21st, 2008 at 9:14 am
love, Love, LOVE this collection!
I am having my 1st baby boy after 3 girls and I am so pleased to find this cute collection that call out to me.
i hope to have lots of fun sewing with these great looks! You are such the incredible artistic genius!
I have loved your Owl print from the previous Full moon Forest collection and my daughter loves to run and play in the outfit I made with it!
November 22nd, 2008 at 4:05 am
Your new designs are so lovely and piscine- and thank you for publishing your design process. I love that you combine hand drawn textile design with computer aided design - not many people seem to do it anymore (the hand drawn aspect) and it certainly gives your designs a distinct look. Keep up the beautiful work!
November 23rd, 2008 at 4:17 pm
Neptune is so brilliant, when I opened your blog it actually took my breath away, good lord, what can I say, I love it so much. As soon as it reaches Oz I’m buying the whole Deep Sea colour way for a quilt for my Dad…. It is absolutely beautiful! (Nest was my last fave!!) Jenny, you’re a clever clever girl. Good luck with this one!!
November 23rd, 2008 at 8:08 pm
Madly, madly, madly, madly, madly, deeply madly in love with your Neptune! I love it all, right down to your colorway names.
March is a VERY LONG ways away.
November 24th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
I’m just gloating to say I’ve sewn with these fabrics and they’re wonderful. My Jentastic project is on the way.. so watch your mail!!!
November 28th, 2008 at 6:22 am
wow. wow. WOW!! I”m excited to get my hands on some of that too! I love the colors .
December 7th, 2008 at 8:28 am
Absolutely beautiful! This is my favorite collection so far. The colors are incredible. I hope Dallas is treating you well!
December 9th, 2008 at 10:31 am
LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!
December 9th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
Are you out there? Did you get settled in?
December 11th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Tula is getting settled in Pinkerville. Once the clamour of the parade and ticker tape settled down reality set in. Can a creative mermaid possibly create in a world of dark brown and beige??? I think her paint covered coveralls would bring a fortune on Etsy. I promise inside pics.
We do have a mice issue. How many pistachio nuts can one mouse move in one night?? There will be a prize for the correct number. Just between you and me I think there is more than one. Mouse not nut. Don’t tell Tula

Jen,
This collection is beautiful and reminds me of all I miss. So sad that you left Dallas, but glad you are now with your family. Keep up the great work and
drop us an email once and again. I wish you the best, you are a very talented lady. Come into the shop if you are in Dallas again. Ronda

January 2nd, 2009 at 8:09 pm
This line is appealing on so many levels. I, like many, am looking forward to it being available. I’m somewhat behind and have only just purchased my first jelly, charm pack, and layer cake of NEST which also holds deep appeal. Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it!

I swooned when I saw that particularly swirly pattern — looking vaguely Japanese and exquisitely beautiful. The coral version, particularly, makes my heart do flipflops. I’m determined to have some. It feels very close to my heart;

I went through a pink-swirly-ocean-themed phase m’self.
January 26th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Ohhhh, I’m drooling! You’re fabrics are gorgeous. I love nautical, and I love your colors. I can’t wait to get my hands on some.

February 4th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
Very yummy! Great job
Kat
February 19th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
I love them all! I’ve signed up to be notified when they come in to several vendors, can’t wait!!! My Dad works at the NE Aquarium and he will get a big kick out of these–it will be fun to make a skirt out of the triton turtle one and have him figure out what it is
I made my girls’ easter dresses out of the bunny toile last year and I only wish they still fit! LOVED that fabric! Fabulous work, brilliant as usual!
February 23rd, 2009 at 10:11 pm
I just saw this collection in my fatquarterworld.com email the other day and I love it all. The colors are fabulous. I love, love, the kelp. I can’t wait to get some of this.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
Oh wow! I think I’ve died and gone to heaven :o) LOVE it all!
March 3rd, 2009 at 1:29 pm
I love it! My husband is in the Navy and getting ready to deploy soon. I always get a little depressed when he deploys so this year I decided I would make myself something special to comfort me while he’s away. I was looking for something nautical when I stumbled upon your Neptune collection. I literally swooned. It’s gorgeous and soooo perfect! Thank you for putting this together, I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:03 pm
It’s absolutely stunning. Must. Have. Deep. Sea.
