Spring Quilt Market 2011: Yara African Fabrics

15 Jun 2011 | Other RSS posts by

Yara‘s traditional African fabrics really stood out from the crowd at Quilt Market. Although not traditional quilting fabric, many of these 100% cotton fabrics could be used to make really interesting and different quilts. Yara has a website, but all orders must be placed over the phone. Luckily, the owners are super friendly and will be happy to help you.
