Hoffman makes such gorgeous fabrics.

Have you seen this collection by Benartex? I ordered a box of FQs - so that I could really see the collection, as the Benartex rep never comes to visit us :thumbdown: , and they are really quite nice. Still deciding if I should order yardage for the shop.

Hoffman also always has nice holiday fabrics. You might like these:

We did order some of the Hoffmans, but off the top of my head I couldn't tell you exactly which ones.

I know some of Moda's marbles are made in Japan, as well as Lecien. Don't know about some of the others. Do you know where RJR,and others are printed and processed, etc?
Pretty much all the greige goods (unprinted cloth) comes from China or Pakistan. Printing takes place in either China, Korea, or Japan.

How about some non-cutesy career people image fabric such as doctors, teachers, librarians, etc? Could be panels or repeating fabric designs? How about taping into the other religions besides Christianity for holidays? Such as pagan (which is hard to find), Jewish, etc?

ADULT firefighter theme; print that looks like a calico cat's fur; plaids like we used back in the 50's for men's shirts; more polka dots and two color stripes, especially primary colors

Other than celestial-type prints, I've never seen any pagan fabrics. Jewish motifs that are *nice* are hard-to-find. Some are done for the chain stores each year but the quality of the cloth is, well, it's not the cadillac of the industry.

I did run across this one by Michael Miller, what do you think of this design?

How wide of a stripe are you looking for? Skinny or wide?

I have to second the request for pagan fabrics. I've never found any either.

What would the motifs be? Other than stars and moons...?

I am searching for fabric with BMX type or any kind of bikecycles on it. I have a DGS that is into BMX racing and would love to find fabric to make at least a pillowcase or maybe a quilt with.
Thanks in advance.

Nobody seems to offer any really gorgeous budgie (parakeet) fabrics. Not cutesy/cartoony stuff.
