From Bump to Baby - Big Win!

No – there are no storks circling over the homes of my kids (that I’m aware of).   I just had to share my BIG WIN in the Bump to Baby Blog Hop!


The hop promoted From Bump to Baby, a delightfully whimsical and colorful fabric line from Moda Fabrics, designed by Gina Martin.   And here is a snapshot of the fabrics included, from an Etsy listing for a charm pack (5” squares of fabric) posted by BresQuilts.

Here is a photo of the fat eighths bundle I received in the mail!  A fat eighth is a 9” x 22” piece of fabric.
So much colorful cuteness -- and tied with a bow!!

Since it’s Shameless Commerce Tuesday, I must tell you that I plan to make some pretty new baby bibs and maybe some coordinating burp cloths to list in my Etsy shop, Pasque Flower Creations, soon-ish.  (Nothing happens quickly during tax season.  But the end is in sight: T minus 36 days and counting!!)
 
Here's a fabric combo that I plan to use for a future listing:
 


And with new babies come grannies who love to rock babies in rocking chairs!  Here is my newest listing from my vintage shop, Aunt Pheba's Vintage.  It's a 5.5-inch vintage rocking chair pincushion made of a very early molded plastic called Bakelite.  Items made of Bakelite have become collectibles.


I re-covered the original cushion with reproduction fabrics.  There's a little recessed well under the cushion, just the right size for a spool of thread and a thimble.
 
Isn't that cute?

  7. Congratulations on winning that fat eighth of cute fabrics! I'm sure you'll put them to good use. And boy, do I ever understand that itchy-want-to-get-back-to-creating feeling, even though I'm not a tax preparer. I've been taking an unwelcome break this week from creating to gather tax paperwork, and it's not fun. I can't imagine a season of doing that!
