Fabric Friday!

Monaco Circle Pane in Lime, Blue, Fuchsia, and Yellow

I just love the simplicity and shape of this pattern.  It might be totally obvious, but I LOVE bright, happy colors!  

I'm really loving line drawing fabrics right now as well, like this precious girl with a fox.

Last but not least, I have my own fabric entered in another contest...windows and doors is the theme this time.  I was inspired by a combination of Monsters Inc., Dr. Seuss, and these funny little monsters in the form of art by kudu-lah.

I drew the picture by hand, scanned it into my computer, and colored it using Photoshop Elements.  If you like it, I'd love your vote before Thursday, August 26! :)  It's called Monster House by mandyd (my Spoonflower profile name).  

Happy Friday!!

I absolutely love the rich colors and watercolor look of these Journeys fabrics by Kathy Davis for Free Spirit.  I've already cut into them all!

Fabric Friday!

The last time I went to Birmingham (Alabama, that is--my hometown), I had to stop by In the Making.  It's actually a knit shop, but they have a small collection of amazing fabrics for us quilters!  I just couldn't pass up these ivory prints with sweet little birdies...I might have a small obsession with birds.  They're in the Leanika line by Dena Designs for Free Spirit.  They didn't have any other prints from the line at the store, but I was able to find the pink and gray ones online from The Quilted Castle.  They shipped my order super fast, which was great!

I would also like to beg for your vote in this week's Spoonflower contest.  This one is called Paintbox Flowers, and I'm really happy with the way it turned out!  I hope you like it too! :)  The results will be announced Thursday, July 22.  

Happy Friday!

Fabric Friday!

I've spent most of the morning fabric shopping from the comfort of my home.  As nice as it is to be able to see and feel the fabrics before you buy them, I think it's just as nice getting those fabrics sent to my doorstep!  It's also nice because I can't get most of these fabrics locally.  I guess that's one of the drawbacks of small-town living.  My favorite online fabric stores located here in the US are Fabric.com and Hawthorne Threads.  Here is my favorite find for the day at $ 4.98/yard from Fabric.com...
