Fabric and stuff



ahhh... did I tell you I love fabric? I dream about fabric. Seriously. One of my VERY favorite things is sleeping kids while I browse fabric on etsy and eat a good snack. A few weeks ago I noticed a seller was having an aweseom sale and I stocked up on some beautiful prints. Several are by Etsuko Echino- I LOVE this fabric. The only problem- I'm having trouble cutting into it. :O
I've wanted to make a bunting for family room/playroom for awhile now and finally finished it. Now I have to hang hooks so it might be another month or so...
I think these little flags are a great idea for birthdays or year round decor. Really simple and fun to make.

And this is my first quilt of 2011! Da-da! I made it using a jellyroll I found on clearance. I've been wanting to try something like for awhile. Piecing this type of quilt is so hard for me- I'm just not patient enough but I still like it. I had planned to quilt it with horizontal or diagonal lines but realized that would accentuate all the errors so I chose a circular pattern. I'll get a finished pic once I get the binding done.
