About Fabric: Facts and Fun

The About quilting site has some interesting fabric
features this week. Some are fun, some are informative.

Howdy!

Thanks, Pat.

Here's a fact: this is a great place for online shopping:
http://www.fabricshack.com
They sent the Queen of the Ranch bundle the morning after I sent
my late-night order. Everything I ordered was here in 2 days; the colors
are at least as good as represented on the page.
Fun part: they added some extra goodies, a key chain w/ a little
sewing machine charm, a 6" ruler, a serrated plastic cutting tool which is
perfect in the kitchen (never touch lettuce w/ a metal knife).
Cowgirls, as far as the eye can see!

Am I a Fabricholic? Would I tell? ;-D

Cheers!

Admitting your addiction is the first step to recovery.
I don't think you want to do that. Don't tell.
Taria, glad too that pat is a-ok

I can attest to the fact that www.fabricshack.com get your order out
fast. I ordered some batiks on a Wednesday night, online, my order
was in my mailbox Friday afternoon!!! I have ordered from them
several times and have never been unhappy with the fabric or their
service. Great place to purchase fabric.

Love my fabric and don't care who knows it!!
But I dislike putting "holic" on the end, it implies some sort of problem or
disease that needs fixing. Can't we come up with a better word? Textilist?
Fabrician?

...... AND there is NO such group as Fabriholics Anonymous! I'm a fabriholic
and proud of it! AND there is a positive side to the addiction: We use it to
make ((hugs)) and other fantastic (and much loved) gifts!

Good one! Although I don't think there's enough yet in this particular
museum that I could sell tickets. Need more fabric!
