Dick and Jane

Well, I don't have an update on the affectionately named "pee chairs".  No fabric here yet.  But my pneumatic staple gun arrived, so I am armed and ready! 

In the meantime,  we are running the ad shown on the left in the May issue of Martha Stewart Living in the Marketplace Section featuring Michael Miller's Dick and Jane fabric.  It hits newsstands April 20, I believe.  Shawn at Michael Miller put together what I think is the cutest ad I've ever seen!  So buy the magazine and then buy hundreds of yards of fabric.  You can even skip buying the magazine, if you prefer.

So to follow up last week's sewing frenzy, I decided to make a crib set out of Dick and Jane fabric this week.  I made the quilt yesterday and Maribel is sewing up a bumper and sheet as we speak.  I'll shoot pics of it this weekend and hopefully, display it Monday.  We've become a little baby bedding factory.

I'll put together how-tos on the pieces also.  The pieces are pretty easy to put together- I think they are do-able for a beginning sewer.  Besides, is the baby going to criticize your work?

I get the zine in the mail. I noticed your ad and wondered if I'd just been missing them before. It's a very vibrant and noticeable ad. Good job.

That is a really cute ad!

I love the Dick and Jane fabrics! Probably because I learned to read with those books. :-) The ad is really cute, too!

I'm getting ready to make nursery bedding for my brother's baby (due June 5th). Your how-tos will be perfect timing for me! Thanks.

Ohmygosh those are amazing fabrics! I need to buy some. I love the stripes (: They'd look cute as one of my Kiki bags!

My Martha arrived last week and I noticed your add the minute I flipped to the page. Very cute!
