Spoonflower Pre-printed stuffies!

I finally dipped into my Spoonflower fabrics and started assembling the super cute stuffies!

All those are from just ONE fat quarter of one of the fabrics.  That's 11 stuffies so far!  I still have three more fat quarters to go.  There are some bigger items on those, too, including a coffee pot, cutting board, and assorted little cakes and cuties.  I want to shout from the roof tops what how great a deal I scored!

The yard of fabric was $20 (including shipping--$18 +$2) and with just minimal work (cut them out, sew them together using the machine) and the bare minimum of extra notions needed (thread, polyfill) you could have a big ole collection of little toys for yourself (or for a kid--but why waste them on a child!).

The other yard of fabric I bought at the same time (same price) contains two dolls.  Each doll is a nice huggable size, too.  I'll start working on them later (since the tattoos need embroidered to be at their most awesome).

That's how happy this purchase has made me!

Crafty overload!

Guess what arrived yesterday.

My Spoonflower fabrics!!

It took every ounce of my will not to race to my sewing machine and start working on them right away.  I love pre-printed fabric where you just cut out the image and stitch it up.  It's as close to instant craft gratification as you can get.

BUT. . .

I can't start any new embroidery projects until the Earth Day hoop is done.  So that means one yard of the fabric I bought is off limits (it's dolls that have tattoos on them and you can embroider the tattoos which I'm dieing to do).

Since I got a wee mouth on Timothy (aka corduroy cat--going to show him off tomorrow) I'm ready to take on a new sewing project.  So tonight (after a bit of household chores which include my daily exercise routine) I'm diving into that other yard of fabric.  So many cute little edibles on there. . .it'll be worth re-threading my machine (with white thread) so I can get busy.

Tomorrow:  Showing off Timothy (coduroy cat) and it's back to painting class (with first progress photos to follow).
