This week ….

March 30, 2010 By Spoonful of Sugar - 16 Comments


Sarah has been making some cards using Girl Friday papers from Cosmo Cricket for some upcoming birthdays. She was beyond thrilled to find out that there is now a co-ordinating fabric range, so I think there may be more Girl Friday projects in her future.

I received some beautiful fabrics today from Quilt Fabric Delights. I have big plans for them and they should keep me occupied over the the Easter break.

    Hmmmm….are we talking pillowcases??? Those fabrics will be perfect for that. Isn’t it cool that the paper companies and the fabric companies are coordinating? Think of the possibilities!!!

    Those cards are so cute! I love all the extra embellishments Sarah added, making the messages really pop. I bet those fabrics to match are gorgeous too. And you supplies for a weekend project look very inspiring. Enjoy!

    Beautiful cards, Sarah. And those fabrics…I think they would make some very Posh Pillowcases. In fact, I know they would. I used the floral Amy Butler on one. Love it! Can’t wait to see what you do with them.

    Happy Easter…

Maybe it's just me, but I think every sewist has a Maybe it's just me, but I think every sewist has a piece of fabric they're a little afraid to cut into.

You know the one.

The fabric that's too pretty, too special, or waiting for the perfect project.

I've certainly been guilty of saving beautiful Liberty fabrics for "someday". But over the years I've realised something:

The joy isn't in owning the fabric.

The joy is in turning it into something you'll use, display, gift, or enjoy every day.

Some of my favourite sewing projects began with a Liberty fabric I was hesitant to cut into. Looking back, I've never regretted using it. The only fabrics I've regretted are the ones that sat folded away for years waiting for the perfect moment.

Beautiful fabric deserves to become something beautiful.

✨ What's a fabric you've been saving for a special project?
