My birthday is next week, so I'm thinking that maybe I can get myself a special fabric treat. Remember how I gushed about the Denyse Schmidt fabrics? I'm trying to decide which ones I should get and from where. I know a lot of you have this fabric, so I'm wondering which ones you like best. I haven't actually seen them in person, but I'm hoping they're as pretty as I'm dreaming them to be. It's hard to pick favorites, but I think these might be the ones.
Also, what are your favorite on-line fabric stores? I'm just too lazy to search out a store around here that actually sells these fabrics. Driving around the D.C. area is no fun and I'd like to avoid that. So, anyone have good suggestions where I can get a good deal? I promise after I get these fabrics I'll stop posting about how much I love them! hee hee... Oh by the way, I saw one of the in the new MSL. I'm such a Martha stalker.

Okay, MS Jr.
I don't have any of that fabric and I haven't seen them in person, so I am really no help at all.
When is your birthday?
I like the flowers on blue. It is such a pretty fabric! Online, I'm partial to sewzannesfabrics.com, sewmamasew.com, purlsoho.com and thecottonshop.net (not sure if it has that line or not).
When's the big B-day?
Hancocks of Paducah sells them for $8.50 a yard. Sew Mama Sew sells them for $8.95 a yard. HOWEVER, I dont think I saw all those prints in just one place.
(But I really prefer to see my fabric in person so I can judge the colors better and so can I test run them together.)
I saw these yesterday at a fabric/craft store. They are as cute in person as they are online. Unfortunately, my favorite shop isn't stocking them, not sure why. I made a backpack out of the last collection of these fabrics, in brown gold & teal. Very pretty.
Good luck.
btw - my favorite online fabric stores are
www.equilter.com and www.fatquartershop.com
I like the green one. I have NO good fabric source in Canada, so I ended up buying mine off of Ebay. I'm sure you can get a better deal somewhere else, I just don't know where. I can't wait to get my hands on Denyse Schmidt's new fabric!
Have you been to G Street Fabrics? I visited when I was in the area to see some friends. HUGE. Overwhelming. They have a huge wall of "clearance" and a room full of buttons. I found most stuff expensive, but then I am used to buying $1 yard thrifted fabrics. I googled your thrifting location thinking maybe I could check it out, but you're at the top of the beltway and that is a little far away for me. Even if I visit friends in Rockville.
PS. I am thinking about getting that green fabric to make a skirt.
I don't think you can go wrong with any of those fabrics!
In addition to the fabric stores mentioned, I also buy from fabric.com and ZandSFabrics.com.
You are right, my local VV here in the NW is very disappointing. In fact, I was in there on Wednesday and left empty-handed. I might try Goodwill tomorrow.
I can't help with the fabrics, although they look yummy.
And I love Martha too. I watch her show every day, although I do ff through some sections.
I agree - I bet they are all great in person.
I like equilter.com, too and purlsoho and reprodepot.com. There is also intfab.com for fabrics from all around the world : )
Be sure to show us what you make with your fabric! : )
