great find! The LQS (that I haven't yet been to because I've been buying at Joann's or online) carries their fabrics, and I am oogling several styles already! Thanks!

Blank Textiles are quite common in all the shops around here and have been for years (it's a 40+ year old company), but I still don't believe it's US made...not until there's some documentation of that somewhere.

Maybe it's the cardboard the fabric was wrapped on that's made in the USA.

Or perhaps the 'Made in USA' label itself??

I will certainly look for that manufacturer. I try hard to buy U.S. made "stuff". Both Pellon and Warm and Natural battings are also made in the U.S. and Warm and Natural has some products that are grown and manufactured in this company.

YEA! I love their fabric collection. I saw several in their gallery that really caught my eye. I hope I remember to order from them when I need some additions to my collection.
