Default How to rebuild my fabric stash?

A few years ago I read Marie Kondo's book on tidying and went thru my house like a Tasmanian Devil and rid it of all sorts of things that no longer "made me feel joy". Well, that was very liberating and gave my home such a better sense of calmness so I don't regret doing it, but...some things in retrospect I wished I'd kept, or at least I think I wish I'd kept, but I try to stay out of the past.

Anyway, I did donate quite a bit of fabric. Which was fine because now my taste has changed but I don't have a lot of solids and many of the new patterns I like - I seem to be leaning towards making cosmetic and tote bags and small table runners and wall hangings - I don't have enough coordinating fabrics for.

So which are the best USA online shops that will help me rebuild my stash? I like bright and cheery and humorous (like those fruit bottom beach ladies) and happy fabrics for seasonal and quick gifts or pick-me-ups, that I could sew in a few hours or a weekend. There are so many I get lost in the looking so I need some help narrowing them down.

Which are your favorites? Which do you shop from the most? And if you've ever done this ridding then restashing, how did you figure it all out?
