The fabric is made by Cranston Village and is from their V.I.P. line, but the selvage doesn't have the actual print name. I looked on their website ( www.cranstonvillage.com ) but didn't see the fabric on it in their VIP section. I bought it at Wal-Mart, though, so maybe you can find it there as well.

Thanks Eddie! I think a trip to Walmart is in order today!

If you can't find it then I'd be glad to buy you some at our Wal-Mart and send it to you. I think it was like $4.44 per yard and actually is one of the better feeling quality fabrics they have.

That bowl is beautiful. Our guild members are making boutique items for our quilt show in April. I think that might be a good seller. What kind of glue did you use?

I just used regular Elmer's white glue. Just a very tiny bead down the clothesline, just enough to hold the fabric in place.

Very pretty bowls. That fabric is absolutely beautiful, I could not have used it for this. I would have had to use it as a large square in a pattern.

You are just excellent at anything and everything you do. I have been at this since you were a small boy and I could not do all that you have done. You are such a natural.

Good for you. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Your bowl is fantastic and I love the fabric. I think the fabric would make a great one block wonder, so I'm going to my WalMart to see if I can find some. If not, I may be PMing you Eddie to see if you'd be willing to pick some up for me too. :D

I always thought those bowls were hard to sew on, but it sounds like if you get the cotton clothes line that it's not so hard to sew on. Did you have to use a denim needle?

That is absolutely beautiful! It doesn't sound too difficult so I'm going to try one soon. Do you know how much fabric you used on this project? Your colors are perfect!
