It wouldn’t be holiday time if I didn’t share some of the cute Christmasy fabrics I have found lately, now would it? Screenprinted Christmas Fabric by Cherie Interro, featuring mid-century houses and evergreens. A fun Alexander Henry print called 2-D Yuletide. Tree Trimmers from Michael Miller. This last one is from a site called Volksfaden. The print is called…
I just finished up a near disastrous dig through my fabric stash and realized that organization needs to be pushed up on my “To-Do” list. The stash sits on an open 5-shelf rack at the back of the little walk-in closet of our spare bedroom. All around it I have projects, alterations and items for sale…
OH, NO! Not another pillow post!!! Sorry folks. This is the one that really should have started it all, but I went about my business of fixing up the family room sofa a little backwards. My reasons for wanting new pillows in that space started because of this: While taking pictures during a furniture switcheroo…
One of my favorite vintage fabric sites out there is Niesz Vintage Fabric & Design. Kimberly and I “met” through a vintage fabric FLICKR group years ago and I have admired her finds and her work ever since. Not only does she find some of the most fabulous vintage fabrics around, she also uses them to create some…
A couple of weeks ago I brought home the premier issue of Stitch – Craft – Create and will say that it’s pretty much love at first sight. Okay, maybe not “get married” love, but “hang out a LOT” kind of love. While I am not tempted to create everything in there from cover to…
As you all read last week, I scored some nice designer remnant upholstery fabrics a few weeks ago at Joann’s for a song and have been diligently making new pillows to spruce up our family room. I already showed off the simple envelop style pillows I created with a heavy ruffled edge, now I wanted…
In honor of fall, I decided to feature some of my favorite fabric finds that include leaves. First up is from my personal collection of vintage fabrics: The next one is a nice, large graphic Ginkgo leaf pattern from Yahgie + Company. Ginkgo leaves and trees always remind me of Athens, GA. The cute little downtown…
My recent pillow making craze had me up a tree when it came to the cost of inserts. As you probably figured out already, I am pretty much a total cheapskate…actually, I am frugal! Yes, that’s the word, frugal. I don’t skimp when it matters, but sometimes it really doesn’t matter, ya’ know? Well, pillow…
A recent visit to Joann’s ETC., landed a bunch of really nice designer fabric remnant bundles at 50% off. So, I took this as a sign and a que to get started on some much needed family room pillows. Although I was hoping to work in some super fun prints I realized that not knowing what…
I stumbled upon this site yesterday and was super excited about all the fun patterns and great colors. Jan DiCintio is the driving force behind Daisy Janie, Organic Fabrics and Patterns. They are only available through quilting fabric stores and online retailers, so you will have to check out the website to find the best…
