Every January myself and a few friends take a trip to Ohio Amish Country for a big fabric shopping spree! I didn't take pics of every single shop, I was too caught up in the moment LOL, but I did snap a few and want to share them. First, the top photo and next two photos are from Zinck's Fabric Outlet. It's a huge outlet store with lots and LOTS of variety. They've got every textile type you can dream up, and many bolts of long out of print cottons from major brands. At Zinck's I took the opportunity to buy children's flannels for an upcoming charity project making pillow cases. I grabbed 5 yards for this project, knowing that they'll be coming into my sewing room and going right back out. It was an easy purchase even though I'm doing the 2020 Stash Buster Challenge, so I didn't feel too guilty about it. At Mercantile on Main we found some Bonnie & Camille April Showers.. on bolts!! Such a rare sight in a quilt shop these days as it has been out of print for some time. We visited ALOT of other shops that I didn't photograph like Miller's Dry Goods, The Plaid Sheep, Calico Cupboard, Paw Patch, and Somewhere Sewing, and a couple others. Here's a picture of my full haul, out of everything I purchased only the Heather Ross, Mood Grunge, bag hardware, and 5 yards of SF101 are for me! Everything else is either for pillow cases donations, gifts, or our quilt guild swaps. We got SO MANY good deals! A lot of shops we visited had anywhere from 20-50% off during our stay. It was the perfect time to visit! Have you ever been to Ohio Amish Country?! It is chock full of fabric!

Lately I’ve come across several shops in Paris that have caught my eye, not only for their swag, but also their interior design and their neighborhoods. I’ve officially added them to my travel file and can’t wait to check them out next time we find ourselves in the City of Light! Housed in a 19th century fabric factory, Merci is a 3-story design general store, if you will, showcasing products from all facets: apparel, furniture, home goods, and jewelry. Throw in a literary cafe and restaurant and you’ve got yourself a full afternoon in design heaven. The coolest part? They donate all their profits to charity! Merci, 111 Boulevard Beaumarchais. Photo via Sivan Askayo. Okay so you can visit Le Labo in NYC, but how cool is their shop in the Marais? Not to mention their impressive host of naturally derived fragrances.

Readers, I'm stoked. I went fabric shopping this morning for Cathy's 1940's dress with the gathered bodice and skirt front, Simplicity 4...
While enjoying a stitching day at Millrose in Ballan on Sunday, l took my hexi flowers for a walk around the shop. l found 2 that l liked, so l put it to the other girls stitching with me to help. The decision was unanimous!! So l am happy to report that l have finally found the fabric l want to use as my pathway! l set to on Tuesday, covering a handful to test them out. Here is the result! l couldn't be more happy. Love them, and love what they bring to the flowers. l originally bought 2 metres, then yesterday bought 2 more, just in case!! Can a girl ever have enough of a great fabric?? LOL My tally so far is 39 flowers completed, and 14 centres made. Then l have tons more prepped and ready to pick up and go. l take my tin of fabric and papers with me everywhere, and when ever l have a few minutes of down time, l take it out and stitch a few. And now l also have to confess that l have a new hexi addiction! When l was in France a few years ago, l fell in love with these blue Liberty fabrics. l chose 3 solids to go with them and put them in a case to make a French memory quilt. When l came home l went through my meagre Liberty stash and pulled out some extras. This is what l stitched at our sewing day in Ballan. Couldn't be happier with how it is looking, and makes a nice change from working with the reds all the time. Time will tell what l choose for the pathway here, but l do have something in mind!! Stay tuned!! Thanks for visiting. Linda.

I can make standard sizes S, M, L, or XL with small adjustments to better fit you. Sizes are a tricky issue, and there aren’t any hard and fast rules, but I’d say my list of sizes is more European than American. To assure the best fit possible, please refer to my INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS by copying and pasting the following address into your browser: http://contrapunt.weebly.com/taking-measurements.html The best way to know your size is to take some measurements of yourself and use them to gauge your size. I can also modify a pattern to better fit your measurements. For example: You choose size S (Europe 40-42). If your body is closer to the first number, 86 (Upper bust/Torax 86-88 cm), than the second, 88, please tell me. Otherwise, the pattern will be the standard size S of between 86-88 cm for the upper bust. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ All sizes, both standard and custom, can be modified to your liking (for example, waist higher or lower; skirt longer, shorter, wider, narrower, unpleated, etc.).

How not to end your relationship over a trip to the fabric store - the Guys Fabric Shopping Survival Guide
People the world over have been held, spellbound for centuries, by Indigo's potential for magical transformation. My soul is unleashed, when I think of how, the simple green leaves of the garden indigo plant, Indigofera Tinctoria, grown by nature and harvested by man, becomes one of natures colors, through alchemical processes. There are hundreds of varieties of indigo plants, each adapted to its own climate. Indigo dye has the ability, to transform simple organic fibers, into glorious textiles through creative human genius. But how did people know, that concealed with in the fibers of this green plant, contained deep and mysterious blues? The Queen of all dyes holds her mystery's, as the dye stuff itself, is actually invisible. The pigment is extracted by steeping the leaves and stems in a water bath and crushing them with stones. Once the dye is extracted, the fibers have to impregnated with the dye stuff and fixed to the fibers, it is insoluble and is transformed into a soluble substance in the dye bath. The soluble substance is once again colorless and it is the oxygen from the atmosphere, that will give it the final blue color. The whole operation is a chemical process, which entails breaking down the molecules and reconstructing them. It can sometimes, take dipping the textile 20 times, to achieve a desired rich dark indigo color. The story of the indigo plant is centuries old and weaves its way across oceans and global cultures. The indigo plant probably originated in India. Highly prized by European dye houses, whole industries, plantations, colonial merchant ships sprang up around the production and trade of indigo bricks and paste. While it was widely distributed for export, Indigo never was really embraced by the Indian culture. Indigo Blue, called Nila, is considered the color of Lord Krishna. It is also the color of mourning and is used for widow's saris. Because of the demand, Indigo was used to block print and paint cotton fabrics known as Indiennes, destined for interior decoration and dresses of European Nobility. These patterns were very popular in the west from the 18th century onward and reserved for export purposes. The indigo trail runs from east to west, Asia to Africa and follows the trade route taken by caravans transporting the precious pigment from India across the mountains and seas. Egypt, Syria, Persia, China, Vietnam, Mexico, Guatemala, Japan, Mali, Algeria, Libya, Niger, Tunisia and Morocco were among the many cultures with rich textile traditions held under the spell of Indigo. Each culture, impimented a distinct style of transforming textiles, with techniques ranging from batik, block printing, embroidering, weaving and shibori dye techniques. In the 1900's with the invention of synthetic dyes, the market for plant based indigo was dropped almost overnight. However, plant based Indigo traditions are still alive today in many cultures. In Africa, indigo owes it survival to women dyers that keep alive traditional handicrafts, ensuring the distinct African style of indigo textiles will be preserved. In southern Asia, women of the Hmong, are a rare tribe. As they are the last to entirely make their own wardrobe. Growing, harvesting, and weaving hemp. Growing indigo and making a dye bath, to then sewing the cloth into clothing. Indigo imparts and elegance and simplicity to their lives. This spring inspired by a beautiful woven striped Indigo from Mali and the batik indigo from the Hmong tribes of Southern Asia. Our Spring collection of Vintage Indigo pillows can be found in our Soft Landing section, under Vintage Textiles. Available, for a short time, in limited quantities, rare and beautiful vintage textile pillows will bring the soul of indigo to your home and life. Photo Links: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8)
