Living Craft Magazine just posted and interview and giveaway on their blog with yours truly.  Check it out if you have a minute and leave a post for a chance to win some of our newest Harmony Art organic fabric and Green Bag Lady fabric bags for your whole family. 

One of the questions they ask is: "Do you teach fabric design or other design?" I'm really curious to see if anyone will respond to that answer.  Time will tell.

I am happy to introduce you to the new organic fabric web site on the block!  American Grown• Spun•Milled is the brain child of long time organic fabrics sellers and supporters NearSea Naturals.  Their mission is to help bring back USA textile manufacturing which has been shrinking dramatically in recent years.  In fact 2 of the first printers Harmony Art used have now closed shop, so we personally have felt the effects of this shrinking local economy.

All fabrics sold on our American Grown•Spun•Milled site meet the following criteria unless expressly noted in the fabric's description:

• The fabric is made from certified-organic fibers
• The organic fibers from which the fabric is made are grown in America
• The fibers are processed (spun into "yarn," which is very different from knitting yarn) in America, in an eco-friendly fashion
• The yarn is milled, that is, woven or knit into fabric, in America
• Any finishing (dyeing. flannelling, etc) also takes place in America

Please give them a warm welcome!  We are happy to have them selling our 100% made in the USA, heavy weight Chili Pepper Red flannel on their site and wish them oodles of success.  When there is a fiber-reactive GOTS certified (ideally wide-width) USA printer, please let us know!!!  We look forward to helping support this movement.

Amorette!  Congratulations.  Mallory from Amy Bulter will be contacting you with the details.  Thank you EVERYONE who entered!  I was truly smitten by the thoughtful responses.

Have a lovely rest of the week!
