I think I'll ask her the next time I'm in her shop. If your source is close by, ask the shop owner. She'll know.
Yes...we have a shop, Fabric Indulgence, about an hour from hear that I love to go into when I'm there. I just touch and feel everything! It's all so beautiful! I wonder if they have classes? I'll have to ask.
I'd love to make a quilt, or even just a duvet cover out of their Sashiko fabrics. I've got to come up with some ideas and designs first. It's too expensive to just fool around with it.
