Northcott fabric is also my favourite. It has a beautiful feel to it and wonderful colours and patterns. I can pick it out just by the feel without even checking the label. They also have lots of free patterns on their website and have been very generous to my local quilt guild by giving us cut offs and samples of new lines of fabric for our Community projects. Patti Carey in Canada is one of their designers and presents a great trunk show and talk for guild presentations. She may even be available to travel to the States and would make a great guest speaker.
