That aqua minky fabric in there (the super soft dimpled fabric) I originally found at Hobby Lobby about three and a half years ago. Well everything was going good, and the Diamonds quilt was (and still is) my most popular puff quilt. One day I was like 'Hmm! I'm out of aqua minky!' so I took myself to Hobby Loggy (as … [Read more...]

In my near-three years of blogging, the number 1 question I get asked is "Where do you get your fabric?!" People have told me many many times that I have an eye for colors and design and I choose excellent fabrics that go together. Here's what I have to say to that---Thanks!! But also, I'm going to let you in on some of my secrets to buying and selecting fabric. DISCLAIMER: This is not a post about how to get fabric on the cheap. I … [Read more...]
