DITTO Jim's idea about the pattern -- and lots of color ideas for the pattern. Light colored fabrics which seem to be slim pickings sometimes. Solids to go with your florals and/or patterned fabrics. 108" wide backings in a variety of basic colors. Oh my, I could go on and on. Wish I lived in Iowa so I could see the shop!

And on the sample, the name of the pattern and where to find it. Maybe also the fabric line used to make it.
