Destash-apalooza

I am making room for new fabrics and selling a lot of old yardage from previous collections in my Etsy shop. A few of these prints are hard to find.  I am pairing alot of coordinating 1/2 yard cuts, some from different collections.

More Show and Tell

I just got a bunch of stuff in the mail.

1. My fourth book in the board book series.



2. This fabric swatch of a design that I just reposted for sale in my Spoonflower shop.


3. And my boxed Christmas cards that I did for Papyrus. They are so felt-y and sparkly.




Thanks for letting me share with  you - I hope you have a splendid holiday break - I can't wait to spend time eating with friends and family!

Congratulations!

The three winners, chosen randomly, of the owl panel are:

Please send me your addresses so I can fly these little birdies your way. 

Thanks for playing along, if you would like a smaller owl panel I am selling them on Spoonflower.

Minky Fly Away


I am so pleased to tell you that some of the Fly Away prints will soon be available as soft cuddly minky fabrics over at Shannon Fabrics - can't wait to see them!

Collage Owl Panel give away




I printed four large scale owl collage fabric panels at Spoonflower. I am keeping one and giving away three (one each to three different people - so three winners of this give away). Just leave me a comment and tell me what you would make with them. I am thinking -  a pillow, a tote bag, pillowcase dress with coordinating back fabric, wall hanging, or perfect to make something for a holiday gift.... curious what you would do. They are 16" x 16". The colors printed really well. If you are not into the give away "wait and see" - you can purchase them over at Spoonflower now.

I will pick winners at random and announce the results on Monday.

Thanks for playing and good luck!!
