"But, really, why does anyone create? You feel a... a restlessness inside, a need to make something new, something no one has ever seen before. You want to add to the beauty and the richness of the world with a gift, an offering that is uniquely yours. It's an act of selfishness and generosity, all rolled into one."

-- Bruce Coville, The Last Hunt

Have You Seen This Fabric????

I was in Jo-Ann's today and saw a fabric that caught me totally off-guard.


I almost missed it because I wasn't looking for pastels or anything dainty looking. Luckily, I happened to glance at it again and realized what the print was. Needless to say, it was then impossible not to buy any.

I took a picture of the end of the bolt, too.

It's blurry, but it should be enough info for a store associate to help you find it, or I'm sure they would have it online. Amusingly, it should say "Flea Market Doilies", but the label was presumably printed in China and actually says "Flee Market Dollies".

    Thanks for the heads-up! I wish I had seen it during Coupon Commotion. I'm going to go and liberate a yard or two. Bernadette

    I found it on the website. That's really neat! I'm not much for sewing, but I may get some as well. :o)

      Actually, they used mine. Unfortunately, without permission and they changed it slightly. You can find my free tatting pattern for it here. http://www.be-stitched.com/free-tatting-patterns/moms-pink-doily/

    That is lovely fabric, I will keep my eyes open here in the uk in case it's comes across the pond, but I doubt it American fabric does not arrive here very often.
    I wonder where they got the pattern from. When I was looking at the card blogs I saw a piece of paper on a card and that had a printed doily on it, it looks like this is a trend coming.

    Cute!

    Maybe we should do a "yes-U-can" style challenge to reproduce the pattern!

      Yes, I thought of that too. I'm not in the mood to tat a doily myself right now, but I'd love to see what anyone else comes up with!

    I was just wondering if you have some of that tatting fabric left. I so wish I'd run out and bought some, but I was angry that they used my design without permission. Can I buy some from you? Nancy Tracy www.be-stitched.com
