The In Wonderland Collection offers as many surprises as Alice had when she followed the White Rabbit down a hole. And, just as Lewis Carroll’s highly amusing Alice in Wonderland challenges the status quo, this Jim Thompson 2008 collection challenges the spirit by daring to be different. A tour de force of creativity, In Wonderland takes orders from the Queen of Hearts to capture everyone’s heart. The astonishing size of many of the patterns and the amazing range of colors are the two features that make this wonderful choice of fabrics memorable.

With the King sitting as Judge over this regal Collection, what would Alice tell the Jury? “I am growing to love it!” she might say after eating one of those little cakes that made her shoot up to be a mile tall. In fact, she might add, “From up here I can see that this is truly fit for a King!!” And if Alice cries Pools of Tears, they will certainly be tears of joy because no matter which of these beautiful fabrics she chooses, she will always be In Wonderland.

	3287 IN WONDERLAND 20% silk – 63% polyester – 17% cotton 7 colorways There is no question – one is definitely In Wonderland with this amazing geometric floral jacquard. The highly stylized flowers and leaf pattern would leave the Queen of Hearts shouting with passionate outbursts, “Off with the head of anyone who does not admire this regally grand cloth!” And, even the difficult Cheshire Cat would be pleased with the seven colorways and contemporary feel of this fabric’s oversized jacquard pattern.
	3303 FEATHERS 100% linen 4 colorways When the Queen ordered Alice to play croquet with a flamingo she never considered that she would be inspiring Jim Thompson to create Feathers. This heavy linen with its fine-line feather pattern plays with the eye much more adeptly than Alice played croquet. The intricate pattern which is screen printed across the entire fabric takes its inspiration from an 18th century pen-and-ink design. From a distance this detailed pattern amazingly fades to be almost semi-plain.
	3285 KNAVES 100% silk 8 colorways The Knave of Hearts will steal more than tarts with this uniquely original geometric fabric. Was Jim Thompson thinking of a deck of playing cards to create this design? This contemporary silk plays on the idea of a plaid pattern by inserting squares and rectangles inside boxes. Simmering in the light and luxurious to the touch, this fabric is memorable for its modern colors and design.
	3289 EROS 68% polyester – 32% cotton 30 colorways martindale 68,500 rubs One cannot help but fall in love with this iridescent cotton chenille. With 30 colorways this wonderfully sturdy fabric is a decorator’s dream. Amazing texture, lasting durability, and soft to the touch make Eros extremely versatile.
	3299 FLAGS 100% silk 6 colorways Pull out the banners. Let’s have a parade. Flags is here! This luxurious silk with its grand scale and fun colors will certainly be waved all over town as a winner. Once again, Jim Thompson turns traditional silk into a celebration. Each of the six colorways features enormous repeating horizontal bands of three complimentary colors.
	3284 FANTASIE 100% silk 5 colorways This fanciful fabric features large flower bubbles which appear to float up to the heavens on an ombré warp. A wondrous silk which feels satiny to the touch, this marvelous cloth is all about lightness, air and space. The subtle color change of the ombré ground is dotted with flowers, flower bubbles and circles.
	3300 CIRCUS 30% silk – 60% cotton – 10% polyester 15 colorways  Wake up!! Have you been dreaming about circles? Alice must have found the “drink me” bottle to make dots grow into gigantic circles. This absolutely regal silk blend with its repeat roundel pattern is as surprising as Alice’s visit to Wonderland. A contemporary design turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. Being shot out of a cannon is close to the effect this fun fabric makes with its punchy colors. With 15 different bright colorways Circus is certainly here to entertain.
	3288 DIAMONDS 100% cotton 21 colorways A deck of cards has diamonds but they are nothing like these Diamonds created by Jim Thompson. Take the advice from Alice’s friend the Caterpillar and enjoy this plush chenille fabric with its latticework design. The surprise here is the use of a totally unexpected tri-colors combination. With lots of texture due to its chenille yarn, this cotton comes in 21 colorways.
	3302 RIDDLES 85% silk – 15% polyester 3 colorways  What has ridges, texture and an amazingly regal feel? The answer is Riddles, an avant guard silk polyester blend with surprising elasticity. Raised stitching running along the warp at regular intervals gives this fabric its unusual texture. If Alice woke up on a cushion made with Riddles she would think she was back In Wonderland!
	3286 MAGIC STRIPES 100% silk 5 colorways  These warp length Magic Stripes on this taffeta weight silk will play tricks on you! Who is clever enough to notice the subtle change of color shades from one band of stripes to the next? Who would have ever thought to combine such an interesting combination of colors? The answer, of course, is only Jim Thompson. This truly elegant cloth that comes in three versatile colorways will make a magic addition to any décor.
	3290 ALICE 42% silk – 52% cotton 9 colorways Poor little Alice is no longer little! She ate a cake and turned nine feet tall, which is exactly what seems to have happened to this wonderfully oversized fruit and flower patterned silk. Although the pattern is influenced by 17th century Damask, no one back then would have ever imaged creating such a gorgeous and outlandishly large-scale design.
