I think this is kinda fun. Read the words, but set them to the tune of "My Favorite Things" (from the Sound of Music).

It's from Avlyn's up-and-coming "Fixit" group. Coordinates are a tool toss, nuts-and-bolts, three colors of pegboard, two wooden flooring, and a stripe that includes all the motifs. If anyone would like me to post those pictures, too, just let me know.

I would like to see the coordinates.

One of my sons is a carpenter.

I don't know about men, Sharon, I have all of those tools in my toolshed, but then I live on my own, and if I want something doing, I have to do it myself. I think that fabric is a great idea, but not sure I would want it in a quilt for myself though.

LOL My husband is cute NOT handy so he won't be getting anything made of this. Although the fabric is REALLY cute!

How cute! I think my DH would love a wall hanging or possibly a throw made from this fabric. The items on the fabric are most definitely among his favorite things. :-)

renee - looks like you are holding a few of YOUR favorite things in your profile picture!

The fabric is super cute - although my DH is NOT handy!

Hey this is cute! My sister works with wood, she would like this fabric very much. You should see all her tools.... :shock:

So cute!

Avlyn says that the Fixit group should be coming out in January or February. I'd bet on February. It's rare indeed for a group to be early!

So... not in time for Christmas 2009!

MollieSue 10-02-2009 08:40 AM
Thanks for letting us know when it'll be out!! I'll be watching for it!! :D :D
