I love Eco Street

The Handmade Market: Raleigh, NC 2008

Modern Fabrics visited The Handmade Market in Raleigh, NC this past weekend. This is a spectacular semiannual craft fair and market featuring high-quality handmade goods from our region’s best and brightest artists, designers and crafters.

The Handmade Market: Raleigh, NC 2008

Several of the purveyors are Modern Fabrics customers, so it was especially nice to meet them face-to-face and talk about upcoming projects and fabric of course! I also met many new faces and shared our resource of reclaimed and recycled interior fabrics.
