This morning I came across a great online fabric shop, while looking for large print florals this came up in Google and the ease of browsing without all the criss crossing, great selections and pricing with so many freebies made this site such a great find.

I should also be finished and have in the mail to my great nephew his Christmas present, The Cat In The Hat quilt. What started out to be the size of his twin bed got cut down due to my mother thinking he would surely love it so much more in a size more for him to cuddle and not so much a bed blanket. I'm so thrilled with the choices I made when ordering the Cat In The Hat style selections, I was not so thrilled with the quality of material. A really thin and lightly woven fabric and after quilting and sewing the holes from the stitching really shocked me. So much work and money spent on this fabric really will add to the end result of fabric I bring in the next time. Fiber and production has been in my blood for many years leading me to realize this quilt will not be one to stay around for years unless looked at and not used. I'm so sad to say that the Cat sold this fabric not the product it was produced on.
