I saw some cute fabric in a glasses and mustache print, and the same Hawaiian prints they’ve always had with an occasional Jinny Beyer leftover from before. There are some misprints which are great for art quilts because they are unique.

Another view of Kimono House on the corner of Yaowarat and Maha Chai Roads, diagonally across the street from Starbucks, with fabric at 69 baht per yard. This shop is just about overflowing with quilting cotton. There is lots more than there used to be.
