We had a visit from the Mike Roberts, the sales manager for Westminster Fibres (producers of Amy Butler, Heather Bailey, Erin McMorris, Jennifer Paganelli and many others...) and were delighted to be highlighted on the FreeSpirit blog. We at JP Knit & Stitch also firmly believe: "you can never have too much fabric!" Thanks, Mike!
