Pickering International - fabulous prices on organic and natural fabrics

Test Fabrics – The company to order from when you are ready to place a large fabric order for the season. The largest selection of fabric prepared for printing. Call to get the best service.
California Paper Goods - huge selection of stationery, card stock, natural and specialty papers. Not the least expensive, but I love this little company.
Artists and Craftsman - my local art supply store located throughout California
C. Jenkins - these folks invented the product for digital printing on fabric using your home inkjet printer.
Two Sisters and Ewe - my local yarn shop, they carry beautiful extravagant yarns, but also complete lines of affordable yarns, in addition to teaching classes and always asking about the projects I'm working on.
