Do you remember Ben Franklin Stores?

[Jean Sewing Machine]

The Ben Franklin I went to today had a very excellent collection of ginghams, real woven ginghams. Since I make costumes, sometimes this is the fabric to be used in a period show, and it is often hard to find, especially in various colors at big fabric stores. They had enough to costume a whole chorus of cowgirls!

They also had some batiks, which I bought a few cuts of. And a whole stack of Easter fabric, unopened bolts, too bad it is a week too late! It was really pretty.

Most of their fabrics were in flat folds, but the stuff on bolts was in larger quantities than I can usually find in big stores, large enough to do some big backings for big queen/king quilts. That isn't easy to find in many places.
