Are you ready for Spring?

Finally!!!, Sunday is the first day of Spring. I have started the seeds for my garden, have begun to slowly put away the winter clothes, and am getting ready for an exciting set of projects this April. Framed is a great use for a new and unique product, Texture Magic. The project is actually a photo frame for an 8" x 10" print, but the part that gets me going is the incredible ruching effect you get using the Texture Magic. The sample on the workshops page was done with fabrics from a single line, but you can use any combination of scraps. You could take this workshop and claim to be doing Spring Cleaning by using up scrap!

Another wonderful project that can help with Spring is the Knitted Purse - as a new accessory. This adorable bag is knitted from fabric strips - either cut from all one fabric, or scrapppy (so more Spring Cleaning). I have bamboo needles that are great for knitting fabric strips. You know how those strips multiply, and I know how hard it is to toss them to the round file, Once you realize how much fun you can have and what great projects they can make, you will look at them in a whole new way. You know you love to knit, you know you love fabric, now you can indulge both passions at once!

Keep saving those skinny strips, over the next few months we will be teaching workshops on several ways to use them and get great projects that you will love to use in your home.
