fabric fantasies

OH boy.  Mom and I went to two fabric places recently.

Remnants and Textiles in Haw River NC

Wow.  Talk about fabric heaven!  I was overwhelmed by how many options were present.  I was also shocked at how many I actually liked.  I did not expect a creaky-floored, hard to find place in Haw River to have chic and modern textiles.  It was a pleasant surprise.  They were also very helpful, and I am excited to work with them when I decide on color/pattern/texture for the chair re upholstery projects.

Loomcraft in Burlington NC

Wow.  Another overwhelming lot of bolts and bolts and BOLTS of fabric.  More of a self-serve place, but so many options. I may choose fabric here for the Gunlocke chairs, or maybe pillows or other smaller projects.  They had a good variety of modern & trendy designs (chevron in every color).  Definitely going back here in the future.

Last week, we closed on our refinance of our mortgage (ouch! my savings account!).  So the re upholstery projects are on the back burner for now.  For now we are focused on the holidays ahead.  We have some trips planned and we are really looking forward to spending time with family.  We ARE keeping up with holiday decorations. Check out the ETSY shop... I am adding new things every week!
