i knew i bought it for a reason....

you know when you see something and you just have to buy it without really knowing why... well the other day when i had a spare hour to kill and no kids, i went to my favourite little fabric place close to my house. as i meandered through every spool of fabric, as you do, i noticed a lovely collection of complimentary fabrics that i just had to have. in my mind i knew i wanted to make some more birds and hearts but i guess deep down my heart was leading me. do you want to know what i am talking about??? well, it is my gorgeous sister Narelle's birthday soon and she absolutely loves violets (and sweet peas)low and behold look at this fabric...

heart and bird pinned ready for stitching

a posy of violets

aren't they sweet and perfect for my sister.

and if that wasn't enough of a perfect coincidence look at the fairy fabric...

yes this little sweety is holding violets.

this fabric is so dear it has sparkles on it, i must use it on a softie of some kind. now my sister doesn't read my blogs so i can tell you that these two will be her present from me filled with some lavender. she can hang them in her cupboard or on her doorknob or anywhere really. i know she will love them.

if you want to purchase a bird or heart you can visit m etsy shop or order one direct by leaving a comment with a descrption of fabric colours etc...

ok off to stitch.

mmwwaaahh rosey
