Anyway, we were at Birch Fabrics/Fabricworm just after opening on a Sunday morning. It's staffed by young, bright hipsters with dyed hair and tattoos. Not what I was expecting.
As you can see fabric was stacked and piled everywhere. They said they do about 100 www orders a day, but had recently had a sale on organics so were doing 200 a day.
I had a bit of a shop - always mindful of the 23kg suitcase limit though and I had already been plate shopping (as you do) at Anthropolgie in San Francisco. Fabric is a dead-weight. It came home in my carry-on. It hasn't been added to the bookshelf-o-fabric yet. It's still in a half unpacked state in the spare room. I look forward to creating my cousin Kelly's baby quilt from some of it though.
For more exciting photos (but not of fabric), I have added a few to the holidays page. Oh, and the conference was great. I have come home all re-inspired.
So cool Karyn - yay for international fabric shopping and your holiday photos are lovely!

ReplyDeleteYour holiday fotos are very cool - the red rocks look a little like the clay cliffs we have visited in New Zealand - just a lil bigger ;-)
Las Vegas is so funny - there is no need to visit Rome - everything is copied there...
