American made fabric
#11
Unless Connecting Threads has changed their practices, their "USA made" fabrics are spun, woven and printed in Central and South America from USA grown cotton. Clothworks AMB line is grown, spun, woven, and dyed in the US, 100% made in America, from field to fabric.

And check out their blog tour -- 50 bloggers designing 50 "license plate" blocks of their home state using the AMB solids. It's been interesting.

Bought a yard from American Made Brand and washed it and it is great. 100% american grown and made. and great choice of solid colors. I bought the color card and under $7.00 a yard. Yea
Also got 2 different yards of flower printed from Jo Anne's, washed and dried it and it is nice quality. I am so happy to have material made in America again. Will be ordering more solid color for a Dresden plate quilt. just haven't decided what solid color, will have to get out florals and see what color goes best with the colors I have.

Here's what connecting threads said on facebook a while back:
Connecting Threads Our fabric is not made in the USA. At one point we said it was "Grown in the U.S. Cotton", which was true, but too many customers misunderstood this to mean "Made in the USA", so we've dropped that marketing message. When we first started making our own fabric we tried to find U.S. fabric printers to no avail.

I just bought some from Joanne's but haven't had a chance to use it price was good and the fabric seemed good. I sure hope we bring home our factories and make things in our own country so we stay on top and have jobs for our men and women coming home and here already. USA first. Sue
