Fabric



Don't these fabrics look fabulous together? I ordered them at different times for different reasons, but when they all came, I had to stack them together and admire. The aqua polka dot (Michael Miller Ta Dot) is for the quilt back. The other two (Michael Miller Ta Dot and Amy Butler Love Tumble Roses) are for clothes for Lucy... and maybe for me too! :)
Ricci asked about the fabric co-op I'm in. It started as a yahoo group (see here) and now is a website where you can get the wholesale discount if you are a member. The website is cottoncandiefabric.com. Click on Wholesale and apply to become a vendor. I think that's all you'll have to do--but I'm not sure since I started off in the yahoo group and automatically was a member of the other website. The wholesale price for most fabrics ends up being about $5 a yard instead of the usual $8 a yard.
Oh yeah, and I will probably send the quilt top/back/binding here to be quilted: The Back Porch Quilters. A penny per square inch isn't bad!

I love those fabrics!! Will make stunning clothes for both of you. That group you belong to for getting fabrics sounds like such a good idea. Hope the little ones are well by now. Thank Nate for his email today. L&K N

I think Ayuna would like to pick your brain about sewing when we see each other in person someday.
