Well, I guess I tend to collect whatever catches my eye. I mostly buy quilting cotton because I almost never have a project in mind and 100% cotton seems pretty versatile (although I do really love corduroy too). And print-wise I tend to go for cutesy stuff. Birds and cupcakes and flowers. I just got some brown corduroy with teal apples on it, which I'm totally in love with right now. I have a lot of Halloween fabrics too, with spiders and ghosts. And a small collection of Japanese fabrics with bunnies on them. I don't think I'm really drawn to a particular designer or brand, but I have noticed that I have a bit of Kaufman and Alexander Henry. And I tend to like a lot of the things that you post, although I couldn't get away with too much of the vintage roses and stuff around here. Small doses maybe, but if I covered our bed in pink roses, John would likely protest. :)
I'm not a huge fan of stuff like Amy Butler - retro mod giant flowers in bright colors type stuff. Sometimes though, if the color scheme is right.
I guess I could blab on about fabric for a long time if you get me going. :)
Lorna isn't much into crafting herself. She does love handmade stuff, and always wears/uses what I make her though. She's not really a goth girl so much as a book/video game nerd, but she does tend toward darker colors and things over cutesy stuff. I made her a spiderweb purse that she carried forever. And knitted her some Knucks that say "game over." I guess I'd say she's more into Ren Fest/Lord of the Rings/D&D, with a splash of anime.
I'm actually a little jealous that you still have little ones that will wear cute flowery stuff.
