may featured sponsor: Contemporary Cloth

sometimes i am really glad that blogging doesn't happen in real time. usually it's just because no one would be interested in the many interruptions that typically occur as i sit here typing (except maybe the ones that involve my daughters being cute, and even that's a maybe)... but right now it's because while i'm supposed to be typing up a post about my lovely sponsor, Contemporary Cloth, i might have just taken a little ooh and aah detour around the shop instead.

so i'll just give you a little overview of the new shopping list in my head :)

here's a bit more about the shop:

owning contemporary cloth inc. is actually my third career. initially i was a social worker, then a pediatric occupational therapist. i opened c.c, online in 2001. my goal was to provide a resource for interesting, contemporary/modern and retro-look textiles for home or office, at reasonable prices. 

our fabrics are used in art quilts, wearable art, wall art, interior design projects, crafts, mixed media, book arts, etc. we have a worldwide customer base that has inspired us to continue on that path. we have quilting + home dec fabrics, bold cottons, yuwa japanese fabrics, notions, magazines/books and more. 

our mission is to provide and maintain customer satisfaction through reliable service, to support artists and to donate 1% of our net sales to dress for success, cleveland, ohio.

here's a little bonus for my lovely readers! mention "imagine gnats" in the comment section of your order, and you'll receive a refund for half of your shipping cost. and if you'd like to know when new fabrics arrive, you can sign up for the Contemporary Cloth newsletter on the main page of the shop. just look for the "our newsletter" button.

*sigh* that yuwa japanese fabric really has me drooling. (again, glad you're not here to see it) are you lucky enough to have sewn with yuwa fabrics before? what's it like? please share! also, you can check out pics of the upcoming yuwa collections from quilt market here at True Up.

so go visit Sondra at Contemporary Cloth, say "hi" and let me know what goodies you get :)
