    You got a nice assortment of fabrics.
    Happy Stitchin' crafty_linda_b
    I'm working on a quilt using batiks (never really worked with them before) and the LQS said to make sure I wash them for the bleed but also to get any excess residue out from the stamping. I've also noticed with the tight weave, I need to make sure I have a nice, sharp needle or it tends to "pull" a little during stitching (maybe pull is not the right word but hopefully you know what I mean).

    Have fun with your new stash !!
