Fabric Shops on Etsy

I have seen a good number of forum posts with lists of online fabric stores but I find that the lists rarely include very many Etsy fabric shops. Sooo... I have compiled a list of just those shops. And now that I'm looking at the list, I'm impressed by the number of stores and I'm sure this isn't all of them. So, if you notice that I missed a store that carries mostly fabric please let me know. So, in the support of friendly competition here we are - Etsy's Fabric Shops:

Seussical the Musical

I had the honor and the pleasure of working with my dear friend, Josh, on Auburn's Summer Youth Theater's production of Seussical the Musical. Josh directed the show and a few weeks into rehearsals he asked me to step in as costume designer. I had already done some sketches for him to help him with the overall look of the show and then I was able to actively make those sketches a reality!

The Newcastle Sunday Market

We had a booth at The Newcastle Sunday Market on Sunday. Unfortunately, it was painfully slow but we got to meet a few more of the local vendors who frequent the local farmers markets. They were all so friendly and encouraging. Sher from Two Spicy Ladies had the booth right next to us (Fantastic spices and rubs!) and Gary of Newcastle Preserves was on the other side. Mmmmmm... Their new White Peach Jam is fantastic! Geri of Country Essence was there with her fantastic soaps and body products! Chris loves her oatmeal soap. The girl from Sierra Fresh Farmers Markets was there with fruit from her farm - unfortunately, I never learned her name and I can't seem to Google the Farmers Market for a website or else I would link you over because I hear that she and her mother run a wonderful market. Another successful mother-daughter team!

Folsom's Thursday Night Market

Mom and I will have a booth at Folsom's Thursday Night Market on Sutter Street.  If you have a quiet evening come and visit us!  The market runs from 6:00-9:00.  

Rompers!

Mom was so excited to find this pattern!  These rompers are based on a fantastic 1960s pattern.

I love it when customers share like this!

I still get excited when I look at these pictures!!  Isn't this the cutest baby quilt square you've ever seen???  Loretta brought this in a while ago and I think I actually jump up and down.  :-)  She said that her Grandmother made it for her Mother when she was born but she never finished it.  She actually got from A - W but never finished X, Y & Z.  Loretta found the quilt in one of her Mother's rooms and then she found the newspaper pattern pieces in a completely different room!  
Loretta got on eBay and actually found reproductions of the X, Y & Z squares!!!!!!!!  She's going to finish it.  Oh, I hope she comes in and shares her progress!

She also brought in this little Gem.  It was a printed piece of cotton organdy that I think she said her Grandmother embroidered.  It's supposed to be finished into a pillow.  Gorgeous!

Judi's Quilt

Ooooooooo!  Judi stopped by the other day and shared her new project with us!  This gorgeous quilt is actually a kit (pattern and fabric) that was produced in the 1930s and Judi has lovingly appliqued it and is currently working on the quilting (by hand.)  Judi has been a constant inspiring and supportive friend of the Thimble and Mom and I are always so glad that she shares her projects with us!  Thank you Judi!  You always restore my faith that there are still hand quilters out there!
