I have gotten into the Granola girl flannels by Troy. they are soooooo soft and snuggly and don't fray to badly at all. There were som Moda flannels sent with the Troy, and they raveled like crazy.

Choosing would be like picking my favorite grandchild. I just couldn't do it! I love all fabric. I adhere to the adage, "If it's still ugly, you just haven't cut it small enough."

Love,love,love Fairy Frost. At the moment I'm collecting Flutter by Sew Group International in as many colors as I can but my all time favorite is Fossil Fern from Benartex. If you haven't heard of this line go check it out. It's been around for 17 years. Also love Batiks and all sorts of marbled fabric.

I love most cat fabrics, in particular Laurel Burch. Most batiks. A fair number of Jinny Beyer prints. I really like a hot pepper fabric I have. I mostly like geometrics. I dislike floral fabrics, and most historical prints, although I have some large florals like would be used for a Hawaiian shirt.

I like fossil fern also, love them for applique. I would say my most favorite though is Moda, but I love batiks also.......

I really like the Fossil Ferns also. I made a biscuit (Puff) quilt with them and it turned out just beautiful!

Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush fabrics.
30's reproduction.
And any batiks.

Love a fabric with packed dark red leaves on a bluey green background. It was called Great Wall though it didn't look Chinese at all. I think it was Benartex. I loved it so much I bought a bolt. But that was years and years ago and it is long gone. I have a FQ that I picked up some where, but the FQ was all the shop had. Large sigh!!

Daydreams by Deb Strain for Moda

I have not met a batik I did not like. I tend to gravitate to the earth tones, but I need to start getting more brights to add to my stash.

The one quilt fabric set I bought because I had to have it was George Mendoza's Wise Tree. I love most all his designs -- bright clear colors. That said, much as I love brights and big wacky prints, sometimes I'll see softer colors and mini prints that appeal to me. Last quilt was for a traditional-minded person so I used mostly traditional calico-type fabrics with small prints and quieter colors. I guess it all depends on my mood and what my eyes want on a given day :) .

i can do designers more than lines~~ kaffe fassett, amy butler, valori wells and one of my favorite lines ( not from any of those) is breakfast at tiffanys. it's alot more romantic and girly than i normally like but it speaks to me!
