I honestly don't pay a lot of attention to designer names. I see something I like, and go in search of it. I do know that I like deep earthy colors, rust, sage green, brown hues, and everything autumn colored. Just finished a quilt top that is beautiful metallics which I've not been fond of before.Loud, modern, abstract is not my wheelhouse. I love civil war, but not 30's.Love applique, but not piecing small strips, or squares. I've ordered online, but not very often. I love to touch, feel and pet the fabric. I love stopping at any LQS that I see. Have never stopped for fabric at a garage/estate sale, or thrift store. My BFF and I do shop each other's stash, and she often will buy me fabric that she "knows" I will love. I'm visiting her next week, and will be going to Sisters, Oregon, so planning on some purchases out there and will be shipping those home.
