ReVive!!!

a few years ago I was given a
portion of a sample bolt 
of the most beautiful fabric...

↠↠↠ now it is a simple fact: 
I am a fabric nut  

I love textures, colors dyes, weaves and warps and wefts 

silks, linens, satins, velvets, tweeds, denim, corduroy, flannel.. 
the list can go on and on..

the fabric was date stamped 1975 "Craftex Mills - The Quality Weave of Pennsylvania”. It is gorgeous ~ like you'd want a chair out of it. I only have small pieces .. I love that I can make something beautiful that brings this fabulous fabric back to life!!

This colorful beauty is
