Kim over at True Up just posted a fabric meme.  2009 favorites.  Oooo…I like to talk fabric. 

Following her categories, here are my favorites:
1. Favorite Quilting Weight  Cotton Collection:
Good Folks by Anna Maria Horner. I rarely like more than two prints for any collection.  I loved so many in the Good Folks collection!

2.  Favorite Digitally Printed Fabric
Birdies. As the answer to many of the following questions will tell you, I got really into indie fabrics this year.  One of my favorite indie prints is Birdies by Aunt June, she has these printed at Spoonflower.
