I've purchased these over the past several days for a variety of projects.

First, fabric for bookmarks kids will be interested in. Plus, I'll use lots of these once I find out what my students' interests are. There's a close up of the words on the one... how perfect is that for a bookmark back? :lol: These are all from Joanne's.

These two are from a fabric place at a huge craft sale, called the Windmill (http://www.thewindmill.com/). I went this past Saturday and today.

This one is to make into pillow cases for my daughter for Christmas. She loves to camp/backpack. Only $5 a yard.

This one is for a wall hanging for my in-laws. My mil asked if I'd make a wall hanging for a bare spot. Since they make wine and are Italian, I thought this might be fitting. :wink: I hope she likes it. I'll check before I use it.

I thought you'd like to see the dish towels I bought at The Windmill.

For my mil...

For my daughter, who's hoping to be out of a dorm and into her own apartment next semester.

And for me. :wink:

I think my fabric from Bonnie Blue's sale, for the borders and back of hubby's CW quilt are due in tomorrow. I'll post those when they come. Although, I start back to school tomorrow (students start Thursday) so it might take a bit.

Not flannel, but very very soft. I can't find the maker on it anywhere... I just love it and wish I'd bought more--as usual. :roll:

Love your fabrics and towels Karla. I have that sunflower pattern on your white towels on my Viking em. machine. I put the long stem daisies on the back of a denium jacket I found at the thrift store for $4.oo. Have fun with the book markers, the kids will love the fabrics you chose.

Bevanger 09-02-2008 05:34 AM

I love all your pretties :P

Looks like you've been busy and staying out of trouble! Don't you just love JoAnn's sales? My hubby and two daughters just gave me $90 worth (combined) of JoAnn's cards for my birthday. I'll probably wait to use them until the next sale (Halloween? Veteran's Day?)

I was reading your comments about the BARE wall and I was looking at the BEAR fabric, when you said how fitting! LOL!!

LOVE ALL THE FABRICS!!

Boston1954 09-02-2008 01:53 PM

Very nice. I also have some of the white background with blue and tan doggie footprints. Do you have plans already, or did you just say "I like it" and get some?
