    You know, I just don't get into who made/designed the fabric. I couldn't tell you whose fabric I have in my small stash of fabrics. I go for patterns and colors and all the things that make fabric beautiful and would make a quilt beautiful, should I ever get to finish one. What difference does it make who designed it other than they are geniuses all around, but I just love the look of the fabrics and how they compliment each other, regardless of who manufactured or designed them.

    It can be really handy to know who the designer and manufacturer is if you run short on a fabric needed to finish a quilt. It makes searching sooooooo much easier.

    Is Thimbleberries still putting out new lines of fabric ??
    I know she still does patterns & books but I don't see any TB fabrics at shops here anymore ? Looks like they've been overtaken by Moda and Red Rooster etc, at least in our part of the country ...

    Probably Moda as every time I pick up a piece to look at it in the shop, it is usually Moda. I really like several of them.
