    Those prints are just as depressing as the daily news.

    Not to my taste but I have a "goth" neice and she would loooove these. Since I love her, little weirdo that she is, I would use them for her. I'd laugh like hell but I would use them.

    I am certainly not into them myself, but there are a lot of young people into the "Goth" type of stuff and Dungeons and Dragons fans. Something for everyone, I guess. I wonder how much of it they will sell

    I don't find skeleton/goth type fabrics odd and I don't find knitting or quilting themed fabric odd, but I find it odd they would combine the two themes into one fabric print. Most younger people (and I say that as lightly as possible since I'm only 30) who would like skeleton stuff, aren't going to like sewing related stuff on the same fabric. And most people who like sewing stuff, are probably not going to want skulls all over it too.

    Maybe it's supposed to symbolize knitting and quilting will be the death of you?

    I don't know. What I do know is I'm as likely to buy it as I am that horrible pregnancy fabric you posted last year sometime. The one that said "knocked up" all over it. Blah. :P

    Not my style, but my 17 year old daughter would love that fabric. She wears a mix of things...the older she gets the less skulls I see! :) I'm making her a quilt for college and she has picked out the pattern and fabric...much to my surprise I LOVE all her fabric choices. It's going to be a beautiful quilt!

    Awful! Looks like they are catering to sick teenage melancholy.

    I am relieved to say that not one of my kids or nieces or nephews or great nieces/nephews are into any of the morbid or the darkside, etc, etc. They are actually a bit appalled by it, but, having been brought up in this "tolerant environment of recent years", they acknowledge that everyone can wear or sew what they want. I personally, will not be wasting time on skulls, morbid, the dark side, or anything else that is remotely grizzly. (Even on Halloween, I draw the line at certain points). I am also proud to say, that my kids (now mid 20's and graduated from college, with good jobs, and good attitudes), have also resisted the self mutilation of body/face piercings, excessive tatoos (they have none). With the exception of the earlobes. They absolutely love and appreciate handwork. Whether it is sewing, painting, sculpture, carpentry, or whatever. Some young people don't want to except the following reality, but here it is anyway.....Unless you are looking to be employed by one of your own peers (or be forever unemployed,,,,,,don't go to interviews with excessive and/or bizarre tatoos/body piercings. Or, GFB, clothes with skulls+scissors all over the fabric. I walk right on by these fabrics which I consider grotesque.

    I can see the usefulness of the pirate ones (my nephew is OBSESSED with pirates), but the skeleton ones really creep me out
