We visited my friend
Mickie in Pennsylvania last month (hi, Mickie!) and she was sweet enough to gift me some beautiful fabrics - here's one of them - it soooooooooo reminds me of the Dick and Jane readers I remember from Grade 1! The bib is backed with fluffy white chenille - a bit cranky to work with, but it makes the projects look so special! I'll call this my Nana bib, lol!
Some cardinal zippies for Christmas - the fabric is so lovely - I got it from Fabricland a few months ago :) The lining is a red TOT print - very rich :)
Two more composition notebook covers - this fabric is from
Sew Sisters in Toronto - it's Michael Miller Delectable Dessert :) I only got 1/2 metre, and have just enough left over for two matching zipper bags (which I have cut out to make tomorrow) :)
Awww..the Dick and Jane is retro-sweet :D
ReplyDeleteThe cardinals -- oh la la !! :D
I yearn for the appearance of cardinals here; alas, I have only spotted them infrequently since we've moved here.
And my sheer delight at observing not one, but a pair, (!!!) in a wintry tree last year quickly turned to humiliation when I covertly stalked them, and discovered they were a pair of velvety deep-red sumac bloomy-thingies :/
