    That was awesome. Thanks for the interview with Sandi Henderson, I love her fabrics and can’t wait to get my hands on “Farmers Market”. The sneek pics in the podcast were great. tahnks for sharing on BC.

  2. Cindi Hoppes says:

    Hello, What beautiful fabrics! The “Ginger Blossom” line is wonderful! I enjoyed listening to how her husband helps her realize her dream. Mine would do the same! I think he would even give me a foot rub, if needed. I think her new fabrics will be popular,also. We have a “Hancock” fabric shop somewhere, but it may be too far to check for her “Ginger Blossom” line. It sounds like it is on the internet. Much easier and quicker. Please enter me in your give away. I appreciate it…..Cindi

I have added your blog site to my list of blogs to read and I will write about this on my blog for sure! Thanks Sandi…keep up the great work. Your an inspiration to me for sure!

  119. Jenny says:

    OH my gosh!! Until about 3 weeks ago I did not know that a world of fabric existed outside of JoAnn’s and a few other big craft retailers. Then, luckily, I stumbled into this little world of boutique sewers and awesome fabrics. I have been sneaking away every few hours these last few weeks to jump from Sandi’s blog to all of these other great sites. I can’t stop dreaming about the Ginger Blossom fabrics. I can’t sew much more than a straight line right now, but I have spent all my birthday cash on fabric! I have to remember to turn down the volume when I hop on the internet, because Sandi’s blog music gives me away every time. :) My husband thinks I’m a little crazy over this. Anyways, I am so looking forward to the Farmer’s Market collection. Thanks for the sneak peak!!!!

  120. Steve Scott says:
