[...] Whipup — had a really cool article written by Weeks Ringle of Funquilts about how fabric becomes fabric. Really interesting. [...]

Ditto to all of the above, and I also have to say that I love love love the new fabric! Will it be out at Quilt Market?

(Also, to whoever was wishing for University of Textile, I think that someplace in North Carolina there’s a program, or at least there used to be.)

Thank you for taking the trouble to share the processes with us. A really fascinating post. I guessed it was a very involved job but didn’t have a clue about how it all worked and hung together – now I am more aware. Also, I have always loved looking at the selvedge and am always amazed how many colours are used.

Wow! What a great explanation of the process. Thank you!

I now know of two new Free Spirit collections I *must* have.

What a shame (for local workers) the fabrics have to be produced overseas. How interesting the whole process is!

so this is WHY I had to buy the prisms online.
Thank you, very interesting. I love to know how things are done. There should be a University of Textile somewhere. I would love to study there.

That was a wonderful description of the process you go through and I found it extremley interesting. Thank you for taking the time to type it out and include pictures. I am an artist who is fascinated with pattern and color in many forms and enjoyed the photos. Good Luck!

Have you shown your fabric line to eQuilter? Luana is always looking for beautiful fabrics and the fabrics shown in your article are beautiful.
