I am sure it is possible to be addicted to Tana Lawn. I had a serious habit as a teenager that has only been tempered by the fact that we now live nowhere near a stockist (I like to stroke it before I buy).
i believe i suffer this addiction! i recently scored some small bits on Etsy; a “fix” if you will. ;)
I have the one on the far left, the coral sprigs. Not sure what it’s official name is. I got it in London last year. If I was closer to Liberty I would have quite the stash as well!
Mmmm, tana lawn. I love the patterns, but when I meet it in person, I realise that I forget how light it is. I still haven’t found the right project to justify buying some. (And the premium price helps me to avoid acquiring some ‘because’.)
Is it possible to be addicted to tana lawn??!?!? ABSOLUTELY!!!
Best wishes with everything.

I purchased a ton of scrap bags on ebay and made a Kaffe Fassett stamp quilt. Or rather made the top…it still hasn’t made it onto the quilting frame yet :( I love, love, love Tana lawn. One day my quilt will be done!
I am still working from some ends my grandmother gifted me 10 years ago. I have one new piece that I haven’t been able to cut into for two years. The stuff is like gold to me. I think I was born into/with the addiction, but also a sense of scarcity. What a rich collection you have!
In the 80′s, one could purchase tana lawn in fabric stores in somewhat larger cities the US. In the 90′s, I could only find it in Manhattan. Now I have to mail order it. I have samples that have been in my stash for years. I made skirts with it in the 80′s, and now have a hibernating quilt made from my old lawn skirts. I do feel that it is ideal in a little girl’s smocked dress or a lady’s blouse, however…
