the circle

I just finished a special request order and had to share it with you!



I know the bibs you've seen, but I just love the double stack buttons on this one!



And the little scrappy applique came together just perfect!  It reminds me of a stripped beach ball.



And here are a few more circles that I appliqued onto the burp cloth.  I had so much fun making this gift set!  I just didn't want to put this fun fabric down.  Is it silly to be so excited and inspired by my own work!



I do love how it all came together again using just vintage and organic fabrics.  All inspired by a circle.

more fabrics and notions


100_3083.jpg

I just came home from a drive up the hill to Auburn. A woman named Christy called me and had a bunch of vintage fabrics and notions that she thought I would be interested in. You bet that I was! So, we met in Auburn in front of the cutest quilt shop, Cabin Fever. I bought some new fabric there too. Did you ever here me (or anyone else) ever say that I wasn't going to buy more fabrics until I had used up at least some of what I already have. It is an addiction. Is there rehab? No, I don't think so, just support groups. Where everyone gets together to sew and admire each others fabrics!

Look at all of the fun stuff I got! Well, look at two of the things I bought. Yah! Celebrate with me! I can't wait to finish writing and run upstairs to start cleaning all of my goodies. I even got a little something for my Molly. This cute pot holder with a little girl face. It is perfect for the pretend kitchen that I made for her.

I looked at Melly and Me today. They have the prettiest quilt to make with all of those fabric scraps. They use the most vibrant colors, I would love my whole house to look like this, with a white background. I don't quilt, but they have a great tutorial that makes it looks so easy that I just might. Maybe this will inspire and motivate me to make a little quilt for the fibertastic event. hmmm...
