Fatty likes to shop and he knows me so well. Look at some of the stuff he gave me for Christmas…
Buttons, a high school letter (perfect for my collection, no less) and fabric – most, if not all, vintage! I love it all and can’t wait to start creating. There are about 7 or more (!) yards of the quilt-like fabric (he paid under $10 – good thrifter!) – what to do? I am thinking like Maria von Trapp…clothes for the kiddos and maybe even something for me. Fatty thought it would make good appliques and I agree. The H is begging to be put on a pillow, I think. Any other ideas? The other fabric is so cute – I love the little prams. It’ll surely show up in some patchwork. I have lots to do so I am going to get on it.
Happy weekend to you!
Lucky, lucky woman you are. I think I’d do a cartwheel if Matt bought me fabric.
Wow! That is very impressive. I can’t imagine my husband buying fabric, and vintage no less.
Veeery nice selections!
I would faint if my DH bought me those lovelies! Amazing…you must share exactly how you trained him to do this. Really.
he does give good gifts. really, i’m a little jealous! check plus in my book!
Wow, your hubby is a definite keeper. I have to give my DH a list of ideas.
As for the fabric I love the carriage and pram fabric. That would make for a cute baby blanket or the liner of a bag/tote for a child.
I’m so glad that you posted these super-thoughtful gifts. First, because they are all so great to look at. But, even more so, because they make me like Fatty even more than before (as if his beer industry connection wasn’t enough)! What a great guy.
my hubby had some sort of trauma with thrift stores and fabric stores as a child. he grew up with 5 sewing sisters and a crack seamstress of a mom. i don’t think they did much else. sounds awesome, huh! he has flashbacks whne we drive by JoAnns!
