8:58 pm	Can anyone use this fabric? I was given a bunch of samples of this fabric called Minkee by Benartex. The collection is called Minkee Tween and there are samples of youthful prints in 6 colorways. Each of the 6 sets includes 4 small rectangular samples about 2" by 4", and 4 bigger pieces about 12" by 18". The fabric is odd - very soft, sort of plush, like fleece, but softer, even. I guess "mink-like," hence the name. I Googled a bit and I think people use it for baby quilts especially. If you feel like you can use this for anything, lemme know and I can throw it into the mail for you! Here are some descriptions from their website tho I couldn't find the exact thing on there: "Just when you thought it couldn't get any softer, Benartex is proud to present Minkee Flannels! These cuddly flannels are the perfect coordinate to all our pastel Minkees and Minkee Mates. Be sure to order early for immediate delivery! Another great idea from Benartex, Inc.!" "One touch is worth a thousand words! It's true! We could tell you all about the incredibly soft hand of Minkee, how adorable and cuddly it is. We could spend a paragraph describing its velvet-like texture or telling you about all the neat projects you could make. But we've learned from experience: why talk when it takes one touch of Benartex Minkee to fall in love with this fabulous new product. And now we have leopard, tiger, cheetah and Dalmatian Minkee! Just think of all the design possibilities! Think: crib quilts, lap quilts, throws, teddies, jackets. Then touch it again. We think you'll agree... One touch is worth a thousand words!"
