Little White House

Flea Market Fancy

2009-08-26T10:20:00.000-07:00

If any of you are like me you have a certain stash that's not meant to be cut. Its meant to be folded and unfolded lovingly. It's meant to be pulled out and imagine what a great quilt it would be but put back because you couldnt dare cut it. I mean it's discontinued.

What if I screw up? What if I make something spectacular out of it and Little Miss Magic spills Kool Aid all over it? What if the dog sleeps on it?

For me a large portion of my untouchable stash is Flea Market Fancy. Maybe, just maybe, that might change. A petition has been started to bring back FMF. You can help the cause by going here.

48 for Larry

2009-07-25T16:16:00.001-07:00

I found out about this one when it's too late to donate, but I'd like to promote it a little!

Blockhead Radio is hosting a silent auction for Larry, who desperately needs help with a surgery or he will die in 18 months. They have almost 20 pages of great handmade donations starting at just 10% of retail value.

Even if you cant bid you can help! There's a handy dandy (Oy! Too much Blues Clues in this house) retweet button so you can spread the word!

Whew! It's been a while!

I've seriously neglected this blog. It's not that I mean to, in fact I have a folder full of pictures of crafting and fabric that I had every intention to turn into an update. I want so much more than a random blog post every couple of weeks.

I've got TONS of new fabric in! I've been so busy with the co-op that I haven't even had the chance to post it on Etsy yet. I've finished 11 quilt tops in the last few weeks! ELEVEN! I've potty trained an almost 3 year old. I've spent countless hours at the pool and the playground. We've pet baby goats, packed up Daddy for a 2 week business trip, perfected a forward roll and just thoroughly enjoyed the first half of summer.

There's nothing like bringing a blog back to life than offering a give away, right? So here's how to enter: Leave a comment on what you've been up to this summer. Even if it's nothing I want to hear about it. Don't forget to leave me a way of contacting you!
The give away ends on July 31st.

The winner receives a $15 gift certificate to my Etsy shop as well as an Amy Butler scrap pack! Good luck!

Who wants free fabric?

I have another give away for you! This one you'll actually have to work for though!

I'm ready to open my own site but am having trouble with the name. I love Little White House, but the .com is taken and Little White House Fabric. com is a bit long. So I'm looking for something else!

To enter, leave your suggestion in the comments. If chosen you'll receieve 8 fat quarters of fabric of my choice!

Holy Home Decor Batman!

2009-06-14T09:20:00.000-07:00

Look what I've been playing with all weekend!

30 wonderful bolts of home decor fabric including Joel Dewberry's Ginseng, Amy Butler's Nigella (which I love love LOVE! It's so soft) and County fair by Dynse Schmidt (seen below).
I'm absolutely in love with County Fair. It's a really soft canvas. I really have no clue what I'm going to do with it just yet, but I cant stop touching it!

New Arrivals!

When I heard that two of Amy Butler's lines, Lotus and Belle, are being discontinued I knew I had to act fast. Some of the prints I ordered are already gone, but I was able to get a few!

New to the shop is:

Get them while you can, they'll be hard to find soon!
