I'm glad that so many people are enjoying the previews!

Just so you know, I post whatever I think is interesting... whether or not I'm inclined to buy it for my shop, and whether or not I even like it personally.

If you'd like to know if I did decide to carry a particular fabric, I'd feel a whole lot more comfortable to receive a PM, rather than have the question posted in the thread. I'd be grateful for the business, of course, but I'm trying to walk a narrow line between a community member asking "Hey, this is new, what do you think of it?" and a business person. I'm trying very hard not to blur that distinction. This forum is a wonderful, lively place, but it would be totally ruined if it became just a place full of commercial posts and advertising. I hope you all understand.

I think it is great that we can give our opinions about what we like and don't like and feel that it is being heard by a quilt store owner. I have been in too many quilt stores where it is obvious that the owner's tastes in fabric prevail throughout the shop. I like variety and having an eclectic selection to choose from. I don't like Thimbleberries, for example, so when I walk into a quiltstore and it looks like it showcases mostly these types of fabric, I don't spend much time in the shop. (I went on the Washington Shop Hop a few years ago and some stores I spent a good hour in and bought lots, whereas other stores I spent less than ten minutes in and left empty handed.)

Today's look at the Garden Song (think that was the one) was very much appreciated.

I actually was hoping that you worked in a storefront LQS. As I have reason to go to Buffalo frequently, I'd have SOOO been there in a heartbeat. Even online, your selections are nicer than the other shop (that has two locations) in the Buffalo area.

Got the Hancocks of Paducah catalog today, and they have different GWTW fabrics. Much larger prints; more for fussy cutting. Other coordinating colors to go with, also. Still like them.

I'm not really crazy about these ones especially the stripes. They remind me of wallpaper.

The fabrics should start appearing in quilt shops around August.
