Lenore does have a nice - but small - selection. To be fair, some of her fabrics are available elsewhere, as she too gets some fabrics from Sham at Books and Things. But she also has some screen printed stuff from Bathurst Island - which is glorious - and some other NT stuff that I hadn't seen. She had some other fabrics - the moss green with mustard overprint - which were NSW, and glorious... She only had a small selection of desert fabrics from Alice Springs, but more was coming

Nungalinga College
They have an outlet for fabric made by the Aboriginal design students. I talked them into selling me some scraps from their bin, and was delighted with the fabric I was able to get. Very unique and exciting.

Wow! A fantastic range of Aboriginal fabrics and plains in desert colours. I visited in July with ten minutes to go until closing time and had no trouble purchasing about 20 fat quarters, and several metres, plus desert coloured plains in about 10 minutes flate. My friend who has never seen me shop for fabric ever, was totally stunned - not just at me but at the fabric range available. This is definitely a don't miss shop.
Can't wait till they get their web site up and we can shop by mail.
