We recently made a road trip to Washington, D.C. My husband made sure that a visit to Joann Fabrics was included in our itinerary. Yeah, I know...I'm spoiled.
A while ago, I was surfing the Net and stumbled upon a pattern for a cute star ornament that uses different fabrics to create a country patchwork look. So I picked up some Christmas-themed fabric.
When I'm done making stars, I'm going Mod Podge the leftover pieces onto Styrofoam balls to make tree ornaments.
I also found some sweet patterns for tooth fairy pillows:
I especially like the animal prints and daisy-like flowers.
Of course, I couldn't walk out without getting several yards of tote fabric. Aren't these fabulous?!
Today, I spent the day with my cousin, Sue.
We have a routine when we get together. Sue lives in Barrie and I live in Ajax. Newmarket is the mid-point for us. So we meet in Newmarket about once a month.
Our routine includes a visit to Fabricland. Sue is awesome to shop with. She carries the bolts of fabric, oohs and aahs over the colours and patterns, gives me her honest opinion and then debriefs with me afterwards.
We picked out some tote fabric today:
Of course, remnants from tote and placemat fabric are used for bookmarks.
So...I'll be spending the next couple of weeks cutting everything up. Then several weeks after that sewing it all together. I can't wait to get started!
