Fabric purchases this month

While I was on vacation last week I did purchase some fabric from Les Fabrique in Charlottesville, VA. I purchased a black knit crepe fabric and a pretty rayon fabric that has a yellow background with coral flowers.

In addition I purchased some silk ribbons that came in various color schemes. I went with the green color scheme. In the April or May Sew News there was an article about these ribbons, thus I was surprised and happy to see someone carrying these. These ribbons are cut on the bias and I decided to use them for the Hong Kong finish on the Simplicity jacket that I am currently working on. The photo below does not really do them justice.
I also received fabrics that I ordered on line from Fabric.com.
I failed to post some fabric I acquired in April from Gorgeous Fabrics. The green and pink floral
fabric also arrived last week from Fabric Mart.
