THURSDAY THIRTEEN

Nowadays, quilters and fabric artists use many types of fabric, depending on whether the item they’re creating is useable/wearable art or something they hang on the wall. 

Here are some fabrics used today and yesterday. Some may be named because of their content while others by the design.  Some you may decide to try; others may bring back memories of quilts of yesteryear.

  1. Cotton
  2. Polyester
  3. Linen
  4. Linsey-Woolsey
  5. Silk
  6. Satin
  7. Velvet
  8. Burlap
  9. Rayon
  10. Polyester/Cotton
  11. Gingham
  12. Calico
  13. Terry Cloth

Do you have something else you use?  Do you have a favorite fabric?  How do you use it?
