\t\t\t\tBirch Fabrics<\/a> as a means to provide an environmentally friendly cotton<\/strong> alternative to the quilting and crafting community. Birch Fabrics believes that the sustainability of our planet begins with consciousness and it can be successful with real action. That’s why their fabric is produced from 100% organic cotton, and printed with low impact dyes.\nCynthia and her family lives on the Central Coast of California in the town of Templeton. She says it\u2019s a great area place to raise her two sons, ages 7 and 10. Their family spends the majority of their time outside at the beach or the skate parks. When they have off time from work, they also spend lots of time with friends and family.\nHow did Cynthia get started in her business? She first started selling fabric online on Etsy.com<\/a> and then started her own website. After about a year, she decided to manufacture organic cotton fabric because it was very difficult to find and she really wanted to sew for her kids using as natural of a material that she could find. Cynthia decided that it made sense that other young, eco-conscious mothers would also be looking for the same quality fabric.\"images\"<\/a>\nWhat is the big difference between organic cotton and regular cotton? Organic cotton \u00a0is grown without the use of harmful pesticides. Traditional cotton is accountable for almost 25% of all chemical pesticides used in agriculture. \u201cAnd with nearly 50% of the textile market using cotton, that is a lot of chimerical going into the earth,\u201d remarks Cynthia on her web site. For Birch Fabrics, that is a BIG deal.\"Just<\/a>\nBirch Fabrics is a business made up of \u201cdedicated, motivated, and wonderful people,\u201d says Cynthia. She loves that her business \u201cis creative and that her company inspires people.\u201d\nRoad 2016<\/a> will be Birch Fabric\u2019s first time at the show. They will be featuring in their booth their line of organic cotton fabrics, \u201cBirch Fabrics.\u201d They will have all substrates, including poplins, knits, double gauze, and canvas.\"wildland-1042-T\"<\/a>\nWhat is Cynthia looking forward to at Road 2016<\/a>? \u00a0Seeing familiar faces along with some new faces as they \u201clight up with a glow\u201d when they see Birch Fabrics.
