Every once in a while, design lines are sold in 10 yd. bolts (always approx.!) IF a shop buys the whole collection - every piece. There have been several occasions I wish I had availed myself of the opportunity to purchase the entire collection of a fall line of Fossil Ferns (Pat Campbell) from Benartex. I ordered it for my shop back in 1999, sold most of the bolts within one week and had to re-order the whole collection again! The Benartex people were standing in the aisle at Market in Houston that year (about 6 weeks later) talking about us for having done that! I've hoarded and nearly used up every scrap of the 1.5 yards I cut from each bolt for my personal stash. But they are *still* such great blenders I've wished many times I'd just really floored those manufacturers and re-ordered TWO bolts of everything!

They were used in this shop sample....not a very good pic of them though.
