*NEW* at zazzle just for DIY crafters: fabulous wonderful FABRIC!

There's a brand new product in store at zazzle.com I'm SO excited about, I'm pretty sure it qualifies me for the DIY geek-of-the-week in some (sewing/quilting/crafting) circles.

I don't even care, because FABRIC!! Wonderful, beautiful, fabulous fabric for so many DIY craft ideas you'll run out of ideas before you run out of fabric, and then you'll just have to google/pinterest for more ideas because there is still more fabric! :-)

So let's get down to business and talk about what kind of fabric.  I'm so glad you asked, because there are seven DIFFERENT kinds to fulfill all your sewing and crafting needs:


If you click here, you'll get all the details you need on fabric types, but here's a quick rundown:
