I've barely bought any fabric for 3 years. I have a nice stash of cotton mens shirts and most of any future quilt making will be al la Bonnie Hunter scrappy style.
The work and living conditions in other countries are appalling. My now ex-husband was crazy about Oriental carpets. I loved the beauty and appreciated the intricate work that went into hand knotting them, but couldn't get over the shadowing of child slave labor of production. Tiny hands make better knots. I didn't even want to buy them. The carpets went with him.
On another thread someone posted about a new line of manufactured in USA fabrics available at JoAnns. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction.
I wash All fabrics that come into the house. I've seen warehouses in NYC. I don't need any passenger critters. All it would take is one egg.
