i have a problem.. an addiction of sorts, to fabric. i miss the days when i could just walk into my mom’s fabric shop and start cutting away at the many gorgeous yards of fabric. now that we’re so far away, we’ve started to skype and send pictures back and forth of the new fabric she gets in, then she heads to the post office for me (isn’t she sweet?). to supplement my addiction, i also love to browse several fabric shops on etsy. today, i thought i would share a few of my favorites with you!

actually, you’ve met my mom before, but not quite like this. many of you know that she owns a quilt shop, and that all of my creative qualities are directly derived from her- as she’s a total creative genius! she’s recently started making some quick videos featuring the latest additions to her shop, and i think they are such a good idea (plus i love to see how cute she is). in the video above, you’ll get to meet her and see a bit of her shop. if you see anything you like, i know they are always happy to take phone orders (i used to work there!)- just give them a call!
