Just got an e-mail from Joann, and they're introducing a line of premium quilt fabrics made in the USA. Not a huge selection, but the prices are fair and the prints are appealing. I'm always happy to find something manufactured here!

Thanks for the link! I wonder what the quality is like...how does it feel?

Someone's has to go to the store and check it out! How's going to volunteer to go pet fabric? Hahahaha!

Nan - In SUNNY going to be almost 30 degrees NW Indiana! Yeaaaaaaaaa!

I got the ad too. They do look cute....maybe I'll get a chance to stop by today and see what they look like in person!

I got the same email, and have a question to JoAnn's early this morning, if you click on the more information about the fabric, it all says, NO IRON. How can that be?

I found this:

HUDSON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores, the leading fabric and craft specialty retailer in America, is partnering with FabricTraditions, one of America's leading producers of printed fabrics for the home sewing industry, to bring the Creating New Traditions collection of fabrics made entirely in the United States to all Jo-Ann stores nationwide and Joann.com. FabricTraditions will donate a portion of sales to The National Military Family Foundation. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20140213005878/en/Jo-Ann-Launch-Made-In-America-Collection-FabricTraditions#.Uv0RLPldVH4

I like a few of the new prints very much!! Will check them out when I got next time.

I too am questioning the 'do not iron' instruction. What happens if you do? And if you can't, how useful is the fabric for quilting? Hmm...

Thanks for letting us know about the new "Made in America" fabric. It is nearly impossible to find textiles made in America any more. I think the prices are fair too! The fabrics are cute. I can't wait to get my tax check back so I can go fabric shopping. These fabrics will definitely be on my list. 60 degrees here today. Yippee! East coast and South....these temps are on your way. Stay safe and warm 'til then.

when I saw this topic, I had to go find my ad. just got it today, so, I volunteer to go, and get some, and report back tomorrow.
I think we should all make our next purchases from this line.

I hope the first person here who buys it and irons it reports back. That's an interesting statement. Maybe it's not all cotton.
