Virgil and Steve have returned to Eden Prairie and Mankato. Today Kathleen and Stan headed out to find a fabric to start the kitchen/family room. We started at JoAnn Fabrics, saw a couple possibles. They told us to go to Home Fabrics for more and they were right. But we still hadn't seen enough, so the folks at Home Fabrics told us to go try Fabrics That Go.
Is this fun or what?
We got into the final store at closing time. Herman the owner, 84, said if we'd come back tomorrow, he'd give us a special discount. He also said that when he died they weren't going to bury him, they were going to weave him. Ah, yes. Then we got a peek at the merchandise.
"Nice Material." Could be something special there, so we are back at it tomorrow after breakfast. We may have already found the fabric, below. What do you think? It is hard to match anything over the internet, of course, but we included a swatch of the "Copper Mountain" with each, so they will be similarly distorted. Our monitor in Tucson shows the terra cotta a bit orangier than it really is.
