NICE! Thanks for sharing

Enabler! I did restrict myself to one set, since I still have one from a quilt show. Got some Retayne also. Is this an annual special? Maybe another time I'll be able to splurge. Thank you for the information.

I don't know if this is an annual thing or not. The first time that I can remember getting an e-mail about it. But then, maybe I wasn't signed up for the newsletter in the past either.

Don't you just love their fabrics?

I limited myself also. Someday I'll buy some yardage when I find the perfect project to use them in.

Those bundles look really tempting. For now I just took advantage of the grab bag offer. Thanks for the heads up, Patty. I didn't know about these folks before. Am eager to see the fabrics up close and in person.

I love, love love these fabrics, always buy some at the quilt shows when possible. They are like suede and the colors are too die for!

Bozie, I can't wait to see the mini you make out of these!!

Yes, I usually drool over these fabrics at every quilt show I go to.

I'm so glad some of you took a look and bought. You have until 11:59 tonight (Monday) to still order. (I'm not a saleswoman for them, just love the fabrics)

I won a bundle of these at the COF retreat in Charlotte. I have not used them yet but, take them out and "pet" them occasionally as they feel so wonderful!

I just checked this thread this a.m. and was too late for the grab bag sale and I was going to order that without a second thought!

Oh well, next time.

I was so happy to see a package in my mailbox when I got home tonight. Here is a picture showing some of the colors. There are a lot of them and it's hard to display them all. Hope you get the idea. They are SO purtty!!!

I tried to do a closeup but it didn't work too good. But they do look like suede and are so soft.

Wish I'd have seen this on Monday I signed up for their newsletter - maybe next time I won't be late. Those are pretty scrumptious fabrics!

Hopefully mine will come tomorrow! As a confirmed fabric fondler, I Love Cherrywood.

My package came today- Lovely pieces.

YEAH!!!! Bozie, have you gotten yours yet?

Mine came today! Beautiful colors... Happy!

Nope, not yet. Maybe tomorrow. Glad to see that people who have gotten them are pleased.

Mine came yesterday. They are of a really wide variety of colors as advertised and many of them do have a "suede" look. The bad news (at least from my point of view) is that they seem to have quite a bit of loose dye in them. I washed mine using Synthrapol as they suggested and got quite a bit of color in the first wash water and rinse. So I washed again and rinsed twice more. They also say that finished products should be washed with Synthrapol the first couple of times - and to not let finished quilts or garments air dry but dry them in a dryer because the dyes may wick to where they aren't wanted if they dry too slowly.

Patty, have you had any problems with them?

Bozie, I read about the washing also. I have to admit I have not made anything with these fabrics yet, I've just been collecting them. I was going to wash mine. I plan on making a purse and small bags with mine so they probably won't be washed much anyway.

I have seen many garments and quilts made with them so I'm guessing it's not much of a problem or they have been cared for as directed. You could write to them if you have questions I'm sure they would be happy to help you.

I don't have any questions or complaints for them. They are upfront about the possibility of excess dye in the care info on their website.
