Fabric begs to be made into something (anything) that will allow it to be useful and kept closer to it's human companions. When fabric has outlived it's current use, it begs to be recycled into something new. Sheets beg to become curtains or aprons. Aprons and curtains beg to become tea towels and napkins. Tea towels and napkins beg to become a part of a quilt to be loved for years to come. Even mis-cut fabric is happy to be made into something. Get the idea? Fabric does not like to cause anxiety about cutting it. Fabric begs you to stop feeling the fear. The fabric will thank you by becoming an item you can enjoy looking at and using until the day it becomes something entirely different.Na Nahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536204640038696190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598627963589889513.post-84043916943766978422012-02-08T13:57:21.321-08:002012-02-08T13:57:21.321-08:00I just love the roosters... gorgeous!I just love the roosters... gorgeous!Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00019027182442028209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598627963589889513.post-2202371204539280062012-02-08T07:30:11.940-08:002012-02-08T07:30:11.940-08:00I like your combinations!

(online looking, I decided that is easier then walking around the fabric store like I did two days ago!) I can't sew well, so I am sticking to baby bonnets, aprons, and next a tote bag for my daughter....oh,,,and coasters for setting a glass on...with fabric scraps. Best to get this done before planting time! love,andreaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598627963589889513.post-41859331600693788822012-02-08T06:53:41.380-08:002012-02-08T06:53:41.380-08:00I'm dealing with my rather large stash of fabr...I'm dealing with my rather large stash of fabric at the moment also...having to clean out my craft room turned storage disaster for basement renos ( see my blog for photos)...I'm having to decide what I will actually use and what I have 'outgrown'. I love your rooster print...(I collect chickens and roosters)...I'd use it for placemats or an apron, or maybe a tea cozy. It would depend on how much of it you have.

Don't think you could go wrong in your choices--you seem to have a knack for it :) <br /><br />I had the same thought as Meggie on the rooster fabric making a beautiful table runner or small set of curtains. And I've always wanted to make a rag rug out of pretty vintage sheets, so that's perhaps what I would do with those unless they're in much too good of shape to cut up....<br /><br />-JaimeNgo Family Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484243776589015749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598627963589889513.post-86129918154399039052012-02-07T15:57:53.027-08:002012-02-07T15:57:53.027-08:00Love the idea of the roosters on chairs!Great coll...Love the idea of the roosters on chairs!Great collection there...i am a little the same with kids fabrics at the moment...often don't know where to start and then i find more that i 'have' to have!<br />Have fun deciding!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07586610467519318424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598627963589889513.post-73037157569669260062012-02-07T15:33:12.584-08:002012-02-07T15:33:12.584-08:00Oh!

Or a cover for a toaster or other gadget that sits out on the kitchen counter. It would also make a beautiful table runner to use for Saturday or Sunday breakfast with bright white dishes.
