Fabric, Fabric Everywhere!!

I've been looking at my fabric stash today trying to decide what my next project is going to be.  I have some super cute new patterns that I am dying to try out, but I just have to decide on the perfect fabric.  I love fabric and probably have way too much, but it is just so much fun with all the great design that is out there.

So I can admit it, my name is Lindsay and I am a fabricaholic - there I said it!  There are so many amazing fabric designers in the market today that just looking at their designs inspires me to create.  Maybe you have toyed with the idea of taking up sewing or perhaps you are already a seasoned sewer, but if you aren't familiar with some of the top designers out there right now, you must check them out!  I thought I would share some of my favorites with you.

Check them out and you will see what I mean (and many of them also have scrapbooking lines as well.....for my scrapbookaholic friends.....you know who you are :-).  Whether you are currently using fabric in whatever your crafting hobby may be, I guarantee you will get the creative bug once you check out some of these designers.
