I live in So CA. I have a fair amount of southwest fabric. I don't use it for decorating. We go to AZ, NM and CO occasionally. I want to make a quilt reminding me of our trips. I have some fabrics that are landscape and some that have pottery, etc. on them. I haven't made the quilt yet......just too many ufos to finish.
Try equilter.com. They usually have quite a few and I've often seen Kopelli (sp??) fabrics there. |
I love it and have some. Coos Bay, Oregon
|
I have some. I'm a native of California and live in Upstate NY; never lived in the southwest.
|
I live in Minnesota, but my husband does a lot of backpacking and Sierra Club service trips in the southwest, so we have a fondness for southwestern fabric designs. But I will admit, I don't like the cartoon-y look of some of them. I've made a couple of wall quilts with southwestern themes and used more subtle designs in them.

And are you actually in the southwest? I currently have about 2 yds left from a former project and I do live AZ and have for the past 22 yrs. I fell in love with the southwest and it's decor back in the 80's and haven't tired of it yet. Andie :D |
My heart and soul are connected to the southwest. Yes, I have lots of sw fabric.
|
Well, it's not really in my stash because I'm making a commissioned quilt with it and will use all the scraps to piece into the backing! I do adore the turquoise marble fabric though, and terracotta looks so yummy with it!
|
I have a few pieces and I'm from Michigan. We visit NM every now and then and I love the fabrics. :thumbup:
|
I have and I'm not. Bought it when I was in AZ and love it. Still don't know what I'm going to do with it but one day it'll come to me.
|
Southwest fabric is some of my favorite , I don't have a lot due to cost though. I also love fabric with realistic feathers on it.
|
Thanks for that link.... I was in Roswell,NM last year working and didn't find much in that area...
|
My first floor is done in southwest with pictures and accessories and the bathroom has a border with southwest pottery. I like the southwest colors, but living in Maryland it is difficult to find.
|
I have some....I love the southwest colors and designs. Most of what I have is scraps from garments.
I live in the northeast! I have some flannel I bought at Joann's about two years ago. One is a western boots toss, and the other is a companion border print in blue, sort of bandana-ish. I really wish I had a third print to compliment them. The colors in the boot toss are really flashy, so I've had a little trouble finding just the right thing (especially flannel). I'm also on a budget, so I haven't been searching THAT hard. |
Moda's coming out with a new Southwest collection: http://www.unitednotions.com/fcc_rising_sun.pdf. There are some really nice designs in this group! Worth looking at, if you like "Southwest".

My daughter especially LOVES anything southwest...maybe something with the painted lizards....(hm).
|
Those lizards are becoming popular decor for outdoors, even in my area! I've seen several houses with painted lizards affixed to patio & porch walls. Kinda fun, to have that punch of color.
Wonder if they hibernate for the winter? |
yep I sure do, used to live in the SW but no more, hubbys bedroom is all SW
