    Hey Lisa
    I always write down the fabric I buy some have it on hand in reference when I make a quilt up.....mind you I haven't made many quilts so this hasn't been an issue too much for me.
    Thanks for hosting a great giveaway! I'll have to pop over and see the Amy Butler one! =D

    I usually search fatquartershop.com if I don't remember. Usually I can at least narrow it down to manufacturer and designer. Happy Birthday!

    I am really bad. I hardly ever pay any attention to the name or designer of fabrics. I just always buy what I like. If you wanted to know what fabric I used, I would have to take it to Melissa at the LQS for her to tell me.

    I often buy FQ's because I like them without any idea what designer/fabric line they are! I don't write anything down but I do know about my favourite fabrics!!!

    I usually buy my fabric because there is something that I like about
    it in the first place...either color,
    design, etc. There are a few designers that I do keep up with, and will try & make note of their new
    fabric lines. I have started taking a small swatch of each of my fabrics, placing them in a notebook, and writing the pattern & designer by each. This does help a lot, especially when I take part in charm
    square swaps, and you need to identify the fabrics. A lot of my favorite fabrics are now out of print, and this system seems to work
    for me. Thanks for the chance to win!!

Update This Giveaway is closed! And the winner is ... #105 gpc March 5, 2014 at 12:13 PM I follow your blog! :) Think Ruffles Blog Hop Welcome to "In The Boon Docks" and Day 1 of the "Think Ruffles Blog Hop"! My name is Lisa and I am so happy you are here today to see my quilt with ruffles! I have to thank Madam Samm @ Sew We Quilt and Amy (Head Cheerleader)@ Sew Incredibly Crazy for arranging this great hop! What is a ruffle? There are lots of different kinds and Madam Samm left it open to interpretation. She showed us how to make some and at the time I was thinking; ruffled bloomers, ruffled dresses, ruffled pillows. Then I saw a quilt in a magazine with what looked like ruffles! I kind of browsed through the issue of Quilt-it today , March/April 2014 issue and left it in my rocking chair and went to work. The second time I read the "Garden Path" pattern by Ann Baxter, (I had already made the quilt), it read "ruching", you don'
