i prefer the vellum paper over carol doaks but i know many people love her paper.

the paper is actually called Neenah Paper UV/Ultra II 17 Weight in Radiant White.

the paper tears away with total ease and i like that you can see thru the paper.

here's a link so you can see how translucent the paper is

its much cheaper to buy it by the ream then it is to order it from the above link.
Thanks for the site. I ordered some of this paper. Also would like a couple of her patterns too!
i like her patterns too. she makes really nice fabric for Blank - thats how i came to know her.
she was at our guild show and i have an optical illusion quilt in the show with fabrics all from her Radiant collection.
so she came over and introduced herself and took pics of the quilt.
Awesome. Did you post your quilt? I don't remember seeing it.
