My sister sent me some fabric from her shop, Quilter's Eden about 3 weeks ago. It's called Menagerie and it is from one of our favorite fabric designers in Australia, Melanie Hurlston of Melly & Me. Our other favorite Australian designer is her sister Rosalie Quinlan. (of course they are sisters!)
Now the bibs used only half of the fat quarter I was sent. So I had to make up some sweet little booties too! I love this little shoe pattern. It features the elephants on one side and the monkeys on the other. 
I still had fabric left! Can you believe it. That is one of the best things about creating tiny things for tiny babies. They take tiny bits of fabric. So I did a little fun applique on a long sleeve onesie. It gets cold in Minnesota don't you know!
I am also being sent more of this Menagerie collection, featuring owls and bees. Love new fabrics! 
I see more bibs and booties in my future.

So cute!
Too cute. Is Rosalie Quinlan not the best designer and pattern gal out there. I think its in the water over there. Every time I find a cute design or pattern I find out its from Australia or New Zealand. Lovely...Thanks for sharing...Renee
KT, I think your font exploded. Either that or you're really, really happy about how cute the fabric is. I know I am. It's adorable!
Katie Jean I just love your bibs and booties they are the cutest things. I used the English paper piecing method on my grandmother's flower garden blocks. Makes it easy to keep everything uniform. Thank you so much for visiting and joining my blog. It is so nice to meet you. I will visit you often.
Hugs,
