New Spotlight Fabrics


New Spotlight Fabrics, originally uploaded by badskirt - amy.

I don't say much about Spotlight on my blog. To be honest, I don't get there very often unless I need notions or basics.

I walked into today thought and found several new rolls of 100% cotton with the selvedge "Designed exclusively for Spotlight". They may not be for everyone, but they were perfectly my taste. Unlike earlier Spotlight prints, they have a nice hand and feel like they'll be great to work with.

I hesitated to buy them because I just intentionally destashed most of my children's prints, but I couldn't pass these buy. I was pushed over the edge when I realized they were perfect pairings for the Alexander Henry Pirate Grid prints now at Calico&Ivy. (paired images in my flickr stream)

I don't think they'll be in stock long and I know for a fact that the perfectly matched Alexander Henry grid is quickly disappearing.

  1. They are great. I am like you - not really that thrilled with Spotlight. Their fabrics are usually pretty poor, however, lately there has been some nice stuff. There was even some Liberty look alikes.

  5. I saw the elephants at mine too Amy - but not that gorgeous red in the upper left corner - they caught my eye because they seemed very 'un-Spotlight'!

  6. Curse you Amy! I went to Spotty to have a look what they were like in real life and ended up spending $70 on completely different fabric!

    I don't know what's happened there this winter but there's some really nice stuff.
