American Made cotton and color

 

Have you heard of Seattle's American Made Brand cotton solids? Our quilt shop had a $5 a yard Labor Day sale on all 50 luscious colors today and I bought some summery yardage to carry me through the winter. The fabric is sourced and manufactured completely in the United States. Here's the website: http://americanmadebrand.com/the-fabric/


The vibrant solid colors reminded me of this mural at Tacoma's B Sharp Coffee House, which I visited last week. That's my friend in the picture; she was invited to read one of her short stories.


This grayness is another photo I took last week, but luckily the gray only lasted for the morning.

Have a colorful day

Yes I have heard of this fabric and since it was Seattle based, figured you'd be running across it in your local stores soon. I don't go into quilt shops much anymore, let alone look at the solids, so am not sure if it has made it to Idaho yet. But was sure happy to hear about it.
