I absolutely loves purple! Yes, they can be hard to find. I looked in my stash, and found that good pinks are hard to find also. Pure, clear ones. Not muddy. Guess we can just check those fabric sites for our treasures! :)

I like purple too, but I have very little of it in my stash. I look for it when I buy, but you're right that it doesn't seem to be "in" right now.

I just mailed all my pink and purple to a fellow quilter I met on the board. I couldn't get rid of it fast enough, especially lavender. I DO like the deep purples though and they look great with the green, orange and beige.

If you want orange, shop at this time of year. I recently went to Sew Bee It in Ringgold, Ga. on the way home from seeing our daughter and bought scads of orange and Thanksgiving fabric.

LOL! :D

I'm one that doesn't look for purple AT ALL. I think I've got 1/2 yard of it. But orange? Hook me up with some orange any day! :D

Probably because it is the favorite of so many people that they buy it out first. I have a friend who says that pruple is the new neutral. She wears purple every single day, she is also a dyer and even tye dyes her underwear purple, her poor husband....

Now I am just the opposite. I don't care for mostorange shades, but I love all shades of purple, froom lilac, lavendar to deep purples. I wish I knew you were getting rid of your purples. But whoever you mailed them too I want to see some pic. of items made please.
