Fabric hound. Looking for nice fabric is one of the most frustrating experiences on earth, so when we hear of a good resource - no matter how remote - we'll post it.
Laura found this great fabric from Hancock. Here's the skinny:
Hancock has teamed up with Laurie Smith of "Trading Spaces" fame to launch some new, more modern-looking fabrics. Not bad, especially since they're $16 bucks a yard.
While we're skeptical of Trading Spaces, we really like the look of these fabrics. The problem is that Hancock's nearest store is 70 miles away in PA and CT. Ordering will have to be done on faith. (Thanks, Laura!) MGR

I plan to use some Laurie Smith Freer, Zig/Zag and Sunburst in some pillows. Does anyone know if there are any coordinating wallpapers? Thanks!
I saw some great laurie smith fabric on sale at the hancock fabrics in pine bluff, arkansas, but i don't know the name of it--how can i find out? it was a pucci-ish print in several shades of pale and mid-greens to aqua, meant to coordinate with the green and yellow sunburst. i figure i'd have better luck looking for it if i knew the name. but i can't find it on a website anywhere.... any ideas??
Very interested in some upholstry fabric. Any ideas, mid century/danish modern/Laurie Smith... Living in the south and lost!
I just snatched over 15 yards of this fabric for under $20. It's on sale at Hancock for only $1.19 a yard. I was so excited at this find. I may have to get more!
They are making room for her new designs that are coming out soon. That is why it is so on sale!
If anyone has any extra Laurie Smith Fabric in any design or color I would like to buy it from you. From 1/2 yard and up you name your price. I am desperate for more!
I have several yards of Laurie Smith fabric that I won't be using. I had purchased it on clearance to re-upholster and make drapes etc, but recently found out hubby is allergic to dustmites! I had to cut way down on the amount of fabric I'm using in the house.
I have some Mosaic in yellow/white, Waves in coral/white/green, Streaks in chocolate, Folio stripes in chocolate, Pentagon in green. I may also have extra Anemone in green/yellow/orange. I'm definitely using this for my kitchen valances, but bought way more than I'll ever use. Oh, I also have 2 solids - Atlas I think it was called - in gold and mushroom. For most of these I have over 5 yards, even as much as 10 for the solids. I also may have small amounts of Constellation orange/white, Gibson's Stripe in robin's egg, Zig Zag in green and Freer in robin's egg. I have pillow covers in the Gibson's, Zig Zag and Freer I won't be using. Email me. I can let you know how much I have.
Does anyone have any extra Laurie's Leaf in gold/beige/white? I used this for my living & dining room drapes and want to use it for my family room valances too. 3 yards would be enough. Thanks!

FYI - this is what I have left as of 11/6/07:
Atlas (Polyester, upholstery weight) Gold 6 ¾ yds
Atlas Mushroom 10 yds
Streamers (cotton, white background with coral and green wavy stripes) 7 ¾ yds
Anemone Curry (Yellow, orange & green) 3 yds
Pentagon (Polyester, upholstery weight) Pear 3 ¾ yds
I am asking $4.00 per yard for the Atlas & Pentagon and $2.00 per yard for the Streamers and Anemone.
I also have scraps of Zig Zag in green (Autumn Leaf, I think) and Gibson Stripe in Robins egg you can have free, just pay postage. Just in case you need a small amount to face a throw pillow or something.

I am looking for some Laurie Smith Mosiac Yellow/white. I need about 16 yards. However, I could use four 4 yd pieces. Anyone have any or know of any in a store? Thanks!
Just got around to using my Laurie's Leaf fabric. I really need 3 to 4 more yards of fabric. Does anyone have Laurie's Leaf they are willing to sell?
