    Default Fabric collections

    I am always looking for fabric with rabbits on it. Yardage or FQ, sometimes precut squares on eBay. Is there any special fabric you look for?

    I always look for more modern prints and colors. I love pigs so I am always on the look out for pig fabrics as I want to make myself a rag quilt using it.

    Asian fabrics call my name as soon as I enter any shop. I always gravitate to purples and greens also solids, prints, batiks - whatever. Don't get me started on Christmas fabrics...

    Just about anything that is tree related, autumn colors and not too flowery. I have fabrics from the 50's to current -- and I literally have many hundreds of yards of fabric. Its ridiculous, really -- but that's what I collect.

    I visited in Oregon about 2 yrs ago when I was just starting to collect. Every shop I entered I asked for directions toward any fabric with "sewing theme", needles, thread, sewing machines, etc. and undies, red hat fabric, batiks (oh all of them~~!!) some leaf prints, then anything fall colors, oh I had to send a box home to AL. Shipping was $40..so I bought a lot~! I have sort of refind my looking now, but still go for red hat and sewing things, batiks, and undies, guess I didn't narrow it down at all~!
