I will do some homework on this. Backatcha. In the meantime, how about some more images.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12046301909033836918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119896657788363048.post-26852481285196281442010-12-15T08:06:05.008-06:002010-12-15T08:06:05.008-06:00PS - I am not affiliated with Spoonflower in any w...PS - I am not affiliated with Spoonflower in any way<br /><br />I intensely dislike being subjected to monotonous, uninteresting , unvarying fabric lines forced down my Pfaff's throat as the only ACCEPTED, COOL fabric to quilt<br /><br />Give me some unconventional colors and patterns - like those crazy stripes - I would have purchased a entire bolt of that to stash and some beautiful dots too<br /><br />sorry to rant on this subject but it is a real sore point with me :(Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183379448904189945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119896657788363048.post-65831886835658794492010-12-15T07:32:27.187-06:002010-12-15T07:32:27.187-06:00yo Doll - do NOT be blue over this - personally I ...yo Doll - do NOT be blue over this - personally I would consider it a badge of honor - WHY ? because most ( not all but most) of what the major houses are printing these days is absolutely the most generic stuff -same color palettes , same type design - and I am supposed to buy it because of HER name ( insert any number of names here) - NO way am I putting my creative efforts into working with it.<br /><br />Sweetie- you stay true to your artistic spirit and it will happen- you know you have your personal team of supporters behind you. Don't worry about The Fabric Mafia - why do you suppose so many stores are having huge sales on their sites right now to move that fabric before the end of the year ?!<br /><br />push comes to shove- have you considered going indie on Spoonflower ? Pricey yes but the originality of the designs is worth every penny to me as a quilter<br /><br />WE LOVE YOU !Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183379448904189945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119896657788363048.post-20256471526709911912010-12-15T05:43:21.810-06:002010-12-15T05:43:21.810-06:00Boo hoo hoo!

You are up there with some of the best. Nancy Crow told me a similar story: the fabric company asked her "but what would they DO with those???" A few years later another company produced that fabric line - I still have some of it (since we quilters seem reluctant to use our last little bit of something we treasure! Perhaps we think we'll be buried with it, lol !!!)Gale Wrigleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07479499709630951743noreply@blogger.com
