I am with TouchofRustic in that I am someone who is driven by the happiness that creativity and sewing brings. I have been sewing for more than 60 years and trust my instincts when it comes to fabric. I sometimes use Quilter's Showcase fabrics to supplement my recycled fabrics. I can make a quilt for much less cost using the fabrics I use which frees me to make more. I am not brand conscious because I realize that the same mills often make a myriad of brands.
