I love Batiks. . . someday I hope to have a drawer like that too!!! I am keeping pictures for my husband to build my "sewing room" someday!
Sadly, no stach for me yet. But I am working on it! I love the blues . . .

I travel for a living and take my neighbor and friend with me as often as I can - we are both batik freaks and hit every lqs from home to where ever we are headed and back again! Needless to say my batik stash is overflowing 3 totes (tho only one is a big one). My colors are purples, golds, and teals mainly but now am branching out to hot pinks! Can't seem to get enough of them!!

Oh yeah, about my stash....of batiks, it is pretty thin, but hope to add to it in the future. It's all about the $$, or lack, right now!!

My favorite color is BLUE!! At one time I had 4 good sized plastic boxes with just blues. Over the years I have used up a bit. Now, I am trying to expand. I have found that I live Earth tones a lot, tans, greens, browns. Rich deep quiet colors. I just recently discovered that I like Batiks. I love the randomness of the way they flow.

Just curious of the cost. The only quilt shop I visit in Vegas sells the Batiks at the same price as the cotton-$9.50 yd.

I just started getting interested in them (I have enough of an addiction to fabric buying and I really tried to ignore batiks, but alas...), so I only have a handful of fqs, and they are in the purple and blue range.
