swedish fabric!
Hubby is just back from a business trip to Sweden, and truly surpassed
himself. He found a department store selling fabric, and bought two metres of stuff that he thought I'd like. You can see pics of it at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cra...bum?.dir=/706e in the fabric folder - all very bright and Scandinavian. The one with the circles is a little heavy weight for quilting, but will make lovely cushion covers. The hearts one is already bookmarked as a back for something. And he's possibly making a return visit in the summer, so I will be getting in my orders. Morag |

The only name I can see is "ahlens" which is the name of the store where it
was bought. www.ahlens.com is the website, their fabrics are under "heminredning" then "textil". Don't speak a word of Swedish but I can look at the pictures!!

You're right -- those fabrics are really cheerfully bright and definitely have a Scandanavian "feel" to them. -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas my ISP is earthlink.net -- put sfoster1(at) in front http://home.earthlink.net/~sfoster1 AKA Dame Sandy, Minister of Education |

Thanks! "Heminredning" is home decorating, if you were wondering. Ahlens is
a large department store in Stockholm (and maybe other places too). Roberta in D "Morag in Oxford" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

Love both of the fabrics, but I'm very partial to hearts, so that fabric
"stole my heart". The rose fabric might make a fun tote bag?? -- Pauline Northern California "Morag in Oxford" wrote in message ...

Ahlens is found in many cities in Sweden, even Malmo (easily accessible
from Copenhagen, which is how I know). Fairly common in Sweden, but they do some nice stuff. Hanne in London Roberta Zollner wrote: Thanks! "Heminredning" is home decorating, if you were wondering.
