No, they're not canvas. They're cotton quilting fabrics, and they are BY a company called Canvas.

Canvas is a new division of Benartex. And apparently they will be specializing in novelty fabrics, because their head designer *used* to be the lead designer at Timeless Treasures.

You can see the fabrics on Checker Distributor's website here:

(I figured if there's a new fabric company out there, you would all want to know about it! )

The sports cars (under the Man Cave category) are great! I also like the B&W & yellow (under Lemon Tree category).

Good grief. Why on earth would they choose a name like that? It's like a new hot dog brand called Burger! As someone who already buys canvas in many forms and types...stretched gallery canvas, rolled canvas, canvas floorcloths, and home dec canvas...I don't think adding a 'new' canvas to the mix is something I need to do.

The name can get confusing ... I remember when Blank first started to be come a "known" company .... it was tough to get my brain the except that Blank textiles actually had nice prints.

These will be some really fun fabrics. Thank you for sharing.

To be honest...I am not in a hurry to get to the Store to buy any of those.

I remember a block contest where you had to use 50% Blank fabric. I thought that would be the dullest quilt around! Until I realized the company name was Blank. And yes, they do have nice fabrics.

Actually, I received a mini-catalog in the mail last week, with pictures of these new fabrics. Canvas fabrics. And I thought, gee, too bad these are canvas, 'cause otherwise I'd order them! And then I read the descriptions that the manufacturer wrote, and got to the part of "We're sewing boxer shorts ..." and though, ok, I know guys like to "be tough" but ... canvas boxer shorts? Wouldn't that be a little... irritating?

So I called Benartex and asked if these were really canvas or if they were quilting cottons. I was delighted to find out they were actually quilting cottons. And I suggested that they might want to do a little bit of clarification in their advertising, to head off more of this confusion.
