What a fun show!
First, congratulations Daria on having Aveeno as your corporate sponsor! That is so exciting! I have always loved their products, especially their baby line of products.
Thank you for sharing YCMT and SWAKembroidery!
And Yvonne, you did a great job! It was fun hearing your story. I really like your selection of knits since it can be hard to find cute knits. I also love the chocolate brown/coral combination that is in “Jana Florido.” I can think of a lot of cute things I’d love to make with that.
Great show Daria - Thanks!!

April 7th, 2008 at 5:41 am

April 7th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
Ironically, the Laurena Poplin blue IS my fave fabric–could be the fact that I have 4 boys and have been brainwashed to steer towards the blue! Great site–thanks for the interview!
April 7th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
Wonderful show! I just love all the beautiful fabrics Yvonne carries. My current favorite is the “Chickens in white/red” (the red outlined chickens on the white colorway) There is just something so nostalgic about it. I just love it.
FABULOUS!
