Hey Boop! On the kids fat quarters: go to thefind.com put in kids fat quarters fabric and you will get alot of places to buy and the price, plus a picture of the fabric...I use this and the time to find different items. Good-Luck..I'll also check and see if I have any in my stash, I don't use kids material, but sometimes I get some at estate sales.

Boop, this site has pretty good prices on their sale stuff: $2.75/yard & up: https://www.fabricdepot.com/index.ph...e&pageid=15313
& this site has tons of awesome kids fabrics....some on sale @ $5.00/yard & up. But, maybe if you contact them & tell them what you are doing, they may be willing to drop prices even lower, or even donate to your cause. It might be worth a try: http://bugfabric.com/bargain.htm
LOVE those hearts!

Got plenty of blues and then ran out of WoW. Got more today and am gonna finish cutting this weekend. Hubby has been "doing" the laundry and for him it means wash and dry and drop in the recliner. Finally got it all folded and put away and started more laundry. After lil man goes down will be dishes time. He puts everything in the sink. Fun!!! Once done I get to finish cutting!!!!!

Disney and universal and Sea World, air fare, transportation and much more. Anyway, I also sew pillows for these children. In the castle they get to come in and go to 'Elmer' the tree. He lets them get a pillow from among his branches. They tug and pull on a vine then the tree starts to shake and then when they look in the trunk, they have their own pillow. You should see the eyes on these kids. AMAZING. off track again...sorry. Looking for fat quarters that are kid oriented. Does anyone know where I can get them cheap. The pillow is an envelope form but there is a pocket on the front. Just really looking for cheap kid friendly fabric since this is all donation work. Thanks for all your help!!!! The second pic is of the pocket on front and the third is the back. I always tell the kids when they leave 'Angel wings, Butterfly kisses and Faere Dust all around.

Twinriver: half of today is completely YOURS! I have just one small project ahead and that is the plan. I am finally jazzed! those fabrics have been saying get over here get over here. I have to say they are so beautiful I am now personally staying away from jinny beyers site. She has fabrics that are oh so addicting. my I need this list grows every single time I peak there. I need this I need that.. i am dying to get some of her fuscia fabrics. and some more greens and .. thanks a whole friggen lot for pointing me in her direction. Between my kauffman addiction and Jinnys I will be poor forever. a lovely poor.

I am an enabler. I must accept that label and live with it. I am glad though, that your quilt will be a Kauffman fix for you. Making the label today, I think. I reorganised and cleaned my sewing room yesterday (ha ha), and I can't wait to go up and play in it today. DH is home today, though, which usually means I am waiting on him hand and foot. Yesterday he actually called me down from upstairs to let a cat in. Now the door was right next to his recliner, but he had another cat sleeping on his lap, so he would not risk disturbing her to reach out to the door. The really sad thing about this is that I understood the problem and came down to let cat #1 in for him. While I was there he asked for some lunch and a refill on his coffee. Good thing I love him so much.
Now on to that sanctuary of mine....
