They provide regular mailings of catelogs. To subscribe, send $2.
NOTE: I just got off the phone with Pam (the owner) who will be sending
yours truly (the faq-keeper) a sample catelog! I'll update this when I
receive it.
UPDATE: The fabrics are WONDERFUL. Quite a wide variety between "adult"
fabrics and children's fabrics. I highly recommend getting a mailer. She
has a brochure that describes the fabrics and then has two sets of swatches
stapled together. I haven't ordered anything yet since my husband put me
on a budget (sigh).
