I bet the same is true for the new england area when it comes to the ocean/beach prints. I could not find any here. So I think just sending in material you find locally is great and if it has to do with whatever is popular in your neck of the woods that's even better.:) Just have FUN!
Franklin, TN was the site of a major battle near the end of the Civil War. I may use Civil War fabrics as my representation of my area.
I bought my Civil War era fabric yesterday at The Quilting Squares; a Franklin shop that is actually where the battle took place. The war was a sad chapter in our history, but Franklin is well-known for historical sites and living history events during that time period.
WOW, sure wish I could see this shop, my favorite fabrics along with the 30's.
