Fabric Fun Thursday No. 20

Number 20?  Really?  It's hard to believe Fabric Fun Thursday has been rolling along that, um, long.  I truly appreciate you all for coming over here sharing your talent and linking your projects with me.

Ready, set, drool...  Let's take a peek at the features, now, shall we?


I don't know when Beverly at Flamingo Toes sleeps!  This is her Ballard table knock off that is just darling.  She really paid a lot of attention to detail.  If you haven't been over to her blog yet, you'll be inspired by tons, and I mean tons, of ideas.  Thanks, Beverly.


This leaf pillow from Lisa at The Pursuit of Happiness is made out of placemats.  I've seen pillows made out of placemats before, I've even made them, but "Hello!" let's use ones that already are cut and have details right on them.  Good thinking, Lisa.


This idea is simple, yet stunning.  I {heart} ideas like that!  Take one (or two) white pumpkins and liberally wrap with fun ribbons.  Result:  Fun, funky decor.  Deanna from Cullen Kids' Mum shared these with us.  She and handsome groom also just celebrated their 13th anniversary, stop over and say "Hi!".


GeorgiaBe at GeorgiaBe The Crafty Side, used her stash to make this Hello Kitty jumper for her daughter.  I loves me some Hello Kitty, stash busting, and twirling little girls...


Burlap?  Toile?  Wanna know how to get featured here? Claire at Bless My Nest is the teacher's blogger's pet today for combining two of my favorite fabrics.  For some finessing, Claire also added bee transfers to her runner.   An inspired copy of this will be coming soon to a blog post near you - ha!  *Cute children don't hurt, either!


I'm sure you'll remember last week I was bemoaning how much work my loft draperies were.  Guess what?  Did you guess, yet?  If you guessed "They're hung!" you'd be right.  I'm afraid today all's you'll be getting is a peek.  See?  Peek.  The walls are the same chocolate brown as you normally see in my house and the ceiling is painted, but you'd never know by looking at this photo, I even tinkered with it quite a bit in Picasa to no avail.  I {heart} the way the light shimmers and reflects off of this faux silk fabric.

Your turn:
Remember, these don't have to be items you've made yourself.  Pretty rooms, great deals, vintage finds that contain fabric all count!

The fine print:

Link up rules. Please be a sweetheart and...

1. Link your post, not your general URL. (Click on the title of your post. Copy and paste from your address bar.)

2. Link to this blog with my FFT button or refer to this event in your post so others can join in the fun or I'll have to send blogging gremlins over to come and haunt your blog.  If I can't find a reference to FFT I'll have to delete your entry--please don't make me hunt all over for it, if I can't find it, others will not be able to either.  I really hate to do this!

3.  Please no direct Etsy or store links.  If you are showing us how to do something, then putting it in your store, that's fine.

4. DO YOU LOVE COMMENTS?  Please try to visit 3 other links and leave a comment.  You'll be glad you did--there is so much talent out there.

  9. Kim,
    Looking forward to seeing the finished loft. I just love that drape fabric and it would go beautifully in my living room. I have a wide stripe of that "bronzy" gold (along with a rich rust red)in a 1930's club chair that was my grandmothers.

    I'll be waiting!
