What do you think?

I’m on the fence with a purchasing decision and thought I might try asking our customers for their thoughts.  Novel idea, right?!  There are some amazing new fabrics from Mod Green Pod—they are organic cotton, upholstery weight, and made in the U.S.  What?!  All that?? You ask.  Yep, and they are great designs—modern, colorful, fun, and simple.  They retail for around $40 / yard.  I would love to bring them into the store, but am curious how many of you out there are interested.  Leave a comment, let me know, or mention it to us when you’re in the store next.

The other amazing, amazing fabric that I’m so absolutely in love with is from Australia.  Three gals hand silk screen cloth in their studio over there.  The coolest designs, the most lovely of colors.  Ink and Spindle is what they go by and it would retail for about $70 a yard or more, or around $14 per fat quarter (and that would be approximately 18” square).  It’s a treat to gaze upon their designs.  Again, I’m curious to know how many folks out there would be interested.  It’s a departure from what I typically carry as far as price goes, so let me know what you think.

Hi Gina, I sent an email to the boutique and I'm wondering if you got it. Thanks

I LOVE mod green pod -- in fact, I just ordered 5 yards from their website to reupholster a chair. Their designs are gorgeous, and I love that they're organic and made in the USA. Good design and ethical standards!

I adore the Ink and Spindle designs, and would love to see some of their fabrics in person. Maybe you could carry the fat quarters at Bolt, and also have a set of samples for their whole line, and people could special order yardage, knowing that it would take time to arrive? (I know that some home decor fabric shops do this)

Wow the ink and spindle is amazing. I love the key print so much! I would love fat quarters of some of these to tuck into special projects.

I'm loving Ink and Spindle. I've eyed it on Etsy and have to say I'd love seeing it in your shop.

Gorgeous Fabric! It would be a good fit for your shop.

I'll throw in another word for those Ink and Spindle fabrics. Both lines are lovely but the I&S are stunning.

Love the Ink and Spindle fabrics. I think Allison's suggestion above is a good one. It would be really special to see something unique like that--and hand printed-- in your store!
