Actually, that's Karen's blog.
I don't collect them at all but am constantly amazed at the things people are creating using them.
I mean, really, check out the Easter bunny on the first page of the blog. It's hysterical.
My all time favorite, though, is the dress made by someone in Australia.

The umbrella is pretty cool, too.

I'm saving the printed parts to add to a bookcase quilt, and the remainder just because but haven't a purpose for the remainder yet. Also looking for printed fabric scraps in different colours for the bookcase quilt (since the selvages are usually white). I could dye some I suppose....haven't gotten that far ahead yet LOL.
