apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

While we love the images of the gorgeous fabrics and enjoyed learning more about how batik fabrics are created, this collection made us really start thinking about the fabrics we own that have family connections, like a blanket crocheted from a grandmother who has since passed away, and how we try to incorporate them into to our home décor.

What are the fabrics and cloths in your home that have special meaning to you? Do you have an heirloom quilt passed down through the family? Do you have a collection of exotic fabrics that represent a cultural connection to your past? How do you display these important fabrics in your life? Do you carefully preserve them or use them daily? Let us know about the important fabrics and cloths in your home!
