Fabrics

Where do I buy my fabrics?  Online! 

It's the best way to access all of the beautiful modern fabrics I love, which aren't available in my area.  I shop at my sponsor shops - I really do!  I partner with stores who carry the fabrics I like to use, since that makes everyone happy.   

building a stash

Building a personal stash of useful, inspiring fabrics is such a joy!  But how much do you buy?  When you are shopping project-unknown, I generally recommend 1/2 yard cuts.  Fat quarters are awful tempting, but I don't really recommend them unless you have already chosen a project or just can't resist buying an entire collection.  When I buy prints, I generally make myself choose my favorites from a collection and like them enough to warrant a 1/2 yard, rather than messing with fat quarters.  I buy 1 yard cuts of basics, like solids and favorite "helpful fabrics."
