Great explanation. I would consider this more Santa Fe - ish rather than southwestern.

'Course, knowing them, it doesn't mean that they are still available. They frequently show the pictures, and just collect orders for a long time, until they either get enough to warrant a printing, or they just give up and delete the print. :|

Yes, now you know!
It's really great for their cash flow, though, when you think about it.
They have to print a minimum of 3000 yards of any design. So they wait until they have, I don't know, maybe 2500 yards on order. And they put in an order with the mill, and by the time they receive the fabric (about 3 months later) they have probably sold the last 500 yards. So as soon as it hits their warehouse, it's all spoken for. Or nearly all.
We sell a fair amount of their Senoritas fabric, but whenever I order it, basically I have to get a year's worth. Because I know it will be 9-12 months before they reprint it again.
