Finding Great Silky Fabrics

Hello and happy Wednesday!

We are still pretty busy with "spring chores" around the old homestead, so I have only had time to put a few fabrics together hoping that I will soon have some real creative time.

I have been wanting to do some "fancy cowgirl"

art for quite some time now,

so decided to use some silky pretties...

...with these rugged-looking cowgirls, 

mostly because you wouldn't normally

picture them together...

I especially love the piece of organza

with the fancy cowgirl boot on it...

The source for this,

and the sage green silk with the leaves on it

is an eBay shop, Prism Silks, found here.

I have ordered many different fabrics and buttons

from this shop and it is great to deal with.

And, as long as we are on the subject of fabric

sources,

here are some other fabrics that I recently ordered...

...from this shop on Etsy, Fabrics and Trims,

and you can find her here.

She is in India and I don't have to tell you 

what gorgeous silks come from there

(think sari silk, my friends!).

Also, the shipping is pretty quick considering

the distance the goods have to travel!

Both of these shops charge

very reasonable prices for nice fat quarters

and the selection is so much better that what

you see in a fabric store.

Oh, and the best part?

No waiting on line to have several small pieces 

of fabrics cut!

I hope that you are having a great week!
