Fabric Finds!

This weekend, I went to Maine with Mitch, his mom and his brother. We went to a Marden's, and boy was I in for a surprise... The back of the store was fabric heaven. All of the fabrics were around 4$/yard or less, and they were all adorable prints.

Oh, and if there are any of these fabrics that you just absolutely adore (like I do) and would like to have me make you something out of it, please let me know and I can design a CUSTOM MADE piece just for you! :) You can e-mail me at stephh.d@hotmail.com, send me an inbox message on Facebook, or call me on my cellphone at 1 (506) 210-3077.

Fabric #1: I actually found this fabric just as we were about to leave. I find the little bird on the branch super cute, and the Victorian background just makes this fabric. I can't wait to make a clutch out of this!

Fabric #2 and #3: GIRAFFE PRINTS! I was so excited when I found these! I've been looking all over the place for a nice giraffe print, and the first one (orange and beige) is exactly what I'd been looking for!

Fabric #4 and #5: Batik Fabrics! Fabricville doesn't have any of these (or if they do, it's not a very large seletion). The darker blue one was only 1$ for a yard, and the lighter blue one I just couldn't put down because it reminds me too much of beautiful waves.

Fabric #6 and #7: The "party" fabrics! I actually laughed when I found the second fabric (blue sparkles), but it's so cute with the first fabric and with some of my other fabrics that I had to take it!

Fabric #8 and #9: My absolute favorite fabric finds! The green striped fabric looks like lawn and complements the tree fabric perfectly! I can't wait to make eReader cases out of these!

Fabric #10: Last minute swipe! I thought this polka dot fabric also went well with the tree fabric so I bought some of it.

Fabric #11, #12 and #13: Three fat quarters, 0.75$ each. :)

And this is the Paris themed box that I found for 6$, also at Marden's! I'm going to stash all of my new fabrics in here. :)

Thanks for reading!

Massive giveaway!

Inspiration! I'm currently working on something special inspired by these two photographs. I'm not sure how it's going to turn out, since I've never done paper-piecing before, so you'd better come back to see the final product! :)
