not a fan of Kaffe Fasset fabrics, i actually love to look at his stuff, but the fabrics are just...too much ...for me; busy, mind=boggling.
i do know a number of people who do not like working with batiks;
for me it's the busy, busy. i like to come up with the design, not have the fabric be the design.
and i really have to push myself to work with most novelties.
