Of course they are great looking but too much moolah, imho.<BR/><BR/>Now for those basket drawers. Take care to turn the fabric often, as dust accumulates, especially in the bottom drawer. But that may only be in my neighborhood. We live in a town built on anthills and gravel pits.<BR/><BR/>The thing about hand dyed vs. prints is that the print fabrics edges usually show the white that it printed on, the color doesn't go all the way through. <BR/> <BR/>Some people finish the edge show so this doesn't show. But then that alters the look of the cut edge...Melody Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08644269589363519294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9567735.post-1159270340328271202006-09-26T07:32:00.000-04:002006-09-26T07:32:00.000-04:00I like the wire baskets.

Making myself put them away at the end of each project helps, but they do tend to pile up.Shelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870112367076954109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9567735.post-1159268772280653032006-09-26T07:06:00.000-04:002006-09-26T07:06:00.000-04:00I went through my stash of commercial fabrics the ...I went through my stash of commercial fabrics the other day and threw out a lot I knew I'd never use (actually gave them to my mother in law to make american doll clothes with), but there are some I just can't part with even though I'm using more hand dyed and hand painted fabrics in my work.

I know they sometimes don't fuse as firmly as hand-dyes, but I think they're worth the extra trouble sometimes when you want the textured look they give.Deb Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03322863748665701618noreply@blogger.com
