    I love vintage fabric because I get tired of seeing things made with the SAME fabrics that everyone can get at the quilt shop! Vintage fabrics are so unique because they are most likely the last few yards that have survived and you (YOU!) get to decide how to use it!

    I love vintage fabric because it has an aesthetic that isn't easily replicated. I love vintage fabric because it fits in with my retro decor. I love vintage fabric because it has a history.

    I LOVE vintage fabric because it is both beautiful AND environmentally friendly. There is nothing more aesthetically pleasing than mid-century to 1970's prints. The bold patterns, the warm and rich colors, I love it all so much!

    I love vintage fabric because the designs are so detailed and arty. I remember as a child spending a lot of time examining the tiny details on our tableclothes!I probably should have been eating my dinner,in retrospect, but the detail on the tableclothes always engaged my attention more.

    I love vintage fabric because it is so bright and colorful, plus I see it as a type of recycling as well (using sheets and pulling (ugly or worn) things apart for the fabric). Reminds me of being little and my grandma sewing when we went to visit.

    I love vintage fabric because it often triggers happy memories (furnishings in childhood rooms, grandma's sewing box) and its limited availability gives your creations an even more special and unique aspect.

    I love vintage fabric because it just 'is'. It is fun, unpretentious and displays the feeling of the day. No matter how hard people try, the feeling of vintage fabric can't be reproduced. It just 'is'.

    I love vintage fabric because it has a story. I suspect in 20 years I'll have my own collection simply because I buy fabric I fall in love with and then I don't use it because I don't want to waste it on something unworthy :)

    I love vintage fabric because it reminds me of photos of my Mum way back when. How I wish she had kept some of that stuff.... Also reminds me of the crazy curtains we had that didn't match anything!

    I *love* vintage fabrics because it reminds me of the quilts from my childhood, made lovingly by my great grandmother. I am forever trying to recreate that kind of eclectic fabulousness that was borne out of nothing but thriftiness and a desire to reuse and repurpose during difficult times.

    I love vintage fabric because I can identify more with the age it represents than I can with all the modern lines of fabric. I'd love to try sewing with some of it.
