I love this fabric because it is a sturdy batik with a vaguely landscape feel (a suggestion of trees and leaves) containing many of my most-used colors - russet, chocolate, purple, burgundy, moss green, cream, even a bit of navy. Sigh.

Do you have a favorite fabric? Did you hoard the last bits of a particular fabric when you discovered that you cannot get any more? Do you mourn any fabrics that you had, but are now all gone and commercially unavailable?

PS I will get over this...
I hope you saved a few of the scraps to put in a pretty vase or glass jar.

I have about 25 yards of my all time favorite yarn in a ball. Just sits there---------but I still love it.
