No, not the kind you eat (although I like them just fine) I mean the comic strip “Pickles”. Did you know there’s even a Facebook page for “Pickles”. You can find it here. Not only do I read the comic strip each morning on Facebook but I then read it again in my local newspaper. They just crack me up and yes, many times I can relate to what they are up to.
When I saw that there is “Pickles” fabric I had to suspend my “no fabric buying” commitment. So this week in my stash report you will see a + 1 2/3 yards. But it’s worth it. Here’s the two pieces of fabric.
And close-ups.
I have not idea what I’m going to make with it. Any suggestions?
Enjoy,
I have no idea, but it is awfully cute.
ReplyDeleteAnd it has polka dots to boot!
ReplyDeleteA throw blanket for the living room couch...only thing I can think of.
ReplyDeleteSaw your blog post via Facebook "Official "Pickles" comic page". I also love this line and have some to sew up. There's a wall hanging pattern on the Timeless Treasures website. The design includes spool blocks for a border. Very cute and an opportunity for more color! Go to http://www.ttfabrics.com/projects/material-girl/ I know this suggestion might involve more fabric, but you might find more of the line still available online--Do a search for Material Girl by Brian Crane. There was matching polka dot to coordinate I have also seen the panel cut up and used for pockets on a bag, maybe using the other fabric for a lining. Good Luck!
