Customer Service Award:

GotFabric.com  http://www.gotfabric.com/ fabric@gotfabric.com
"I would like to nominate www.gotfabric.com. I found this site not too long ago and they're fairly new. It's a fun and friendly site that has a lot to offer. Since they're a new fabric site, they are constantly updating and adding new products and more. They have a new sewing project/craft every month, and their focus is Hawaiian fabrics. Hawaiian fabrics are hard to find and they seem to have a big selection with very reasonable prices. I also needed help on finding a particular fabric, and they were great about helping me find what I needed.
I've had a great experience with this site and would like to nominate them."
