Fabulous Fabric Finds

You know how I love my alliteration!  I hit Joann’s after the day job on Friday {with a list} and I was very good.  Well, except for two remnants; and they would have been a sin not to buy.  I’ll show you them below.  Fabric was on the list for a project I have in mind for my soon-to-be granddaughter.

I’m not going to tell you what I’m making with these supplies ~ it’s a surprise.  It’s not a quilt; but feel free to guess!

I found these pretty fabrics in the remnant bin.

I love the brown, bronze and gold in this fabric.  I’ve decided to make napkins out of it.  Especially since I seem to be lacking in that area {as evidenced by my tablescape posts}.

It looks good against placemats and a runner I have for my dining table, as well as my brown and white Country Living dishes that I got from Kmart {thanks to Manuela}!  I also found this blue and brown toile!  I don’t think I’ve seen this color combination before, so I had to get it.

This is just over a yard and I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it. 

Very proud of myself on this trip to Joann’s ~  I didn’t even go near the home decor/floral/basket side of the store!

  3. Oh, I love those fabrics. Sometimes I just want to buy fabric even though I don't sew often. I can't wait to see what you're making for the baby. Maybe, bibs? I'm expecting a grandson on May 9th and a granddaughter on May 18th. I can't wait.

  10. I envy the grand-daughter! I can't even get my girls too marry, too independent!
    I wanted to drop a note that I'm giving you rave reviews tomorrow at SP&C! I'm so excited to be doing this, there are just soo many cute things out there it is hard to choose just a few! I'm featuring your laundry magnet board, but I have the feeling there will be others in the future!
