Keep Calm Craft On


I am having lots of fun with all the free vintage images available, as you can see!
These are some of my favourites so far:

Free Pretty Things For You 
The Graphics Fairy
Cute N Cool Freebies and Other Stuff
Sweetly Scrapped
Shabby Blogs
The Cutest Blog on the Block

And the editing is all done on PicMonkey

With our Laternenfest coming up on 28th November, I have been busily working away on some little lantern children



I do love this pattern! I'm thinking a red one next, to be Little Red Riding Hood.

I saw this gorgeous fabric on sale and just HAD to purchase a fat quarter of each one. How could I resist toadstool fabric?!



 


Now the question is what to do with this wonderfulness? Any suggestions? There are nine fat quarters in total. 
Happy crafting to everyone and I look forward to seeing you all over at Frontier Dreams for Keep Calm Craft On.

    1. I know, I can't believe it was in the 50% off pile! Everyone I know would love it. Lucky for me. I am thinking napkins is a great idea as I have been meaning to replenish my stock of napkins for a while as part of my Make It Lovely Thursday idea. Perfect!

    1. It is, isn't it? Don't know why it was marked down, but definitely my gain. I am thinking the napkin idea is great too, maybe a table runner as well? Hmmm......

  3. I love that fabric - we have some of the toadstool around here. I think I made a skirt for my daughter and some decorative bunting flags. Often with scraps or smaller pieces, I will make a patchwork or vertical strip skirt for one of my girls. A quilt sounds sweet too. Enjoy!

    1. Definitely some bunting! When I get my crafting business up and running (fingers crossed!), it will be called Tiny Toadstool Cottage. So some bunting for displays would be fantastic!
