    The cotton is grown in the US, the fabric is manufactured in Mexico. There are no fabric manufacturers left in the US. All textile manufacturing has been exported and I doubt will ever come back.

    It's nice to know I'm not alone here.

    I received the wood fabric today! I ordered some pine cone fabric, too. I love both of them. Very silky. :-D I have to admit though, I didn't relaly care for some of the fabric I got in an order a few months ago. The pattern seems blurred? Not crisp. It's kind of strange to have the backs the way they are. But--the quality is good.

    I like the fabric backs. I can use the backs as blender fabric when I need another color. The few fabrics I ordered that I thought were not up to what I thought, I sent back. No problem with returns.

    I received my order from them a couple of days ago and I thought the material itself was really nice and silky but a few of the prints I didn't really care for either. Some of the designs looked like they were painted on, if that makes sense, and the others looked like a nice "normal" print. It's no use to send them back for me, as I'm in Canada and the postage would cost more than the fabric itself, so I'll just use them for backings on table runners etc. The cotton fabric itself is very nice, I just hope they change the way they do some of their printing. Still overall I'm happy with my order, I got 17 yards and 5 spools of thread for $70. shipping included, here in Canada it's around $15 just for one metre of fabric!
    I got the pinecones and some of the other ones that go with that line, and I really like those too!

    Oh yes ... I agree Connecting threads is a wonderful site. I have gotten three boxes in the last month from them. They really come out with some nice fabric lines. The newest one on the front cover on the catalog is really calling to me... I just can't buy another box of fabric until I finish some of these ... Dog-gone it. Or can I??? LOL!

    Oh and did I mention I have bought a stack of new embroidery patterns recently too? Bunny Hill and Crabapple hill large ones. I need to find a embroidery thread site that sells DMC in bulk.
