Fabric Swap part II

Hello Poppits ,
It's that time of year again to do a bit of fabric swapping.


Over at Maze & Vale  you'll find all you need to know to make some of your own spiffy fabric, although the sign up is over for this swap that doesn't mean you can't crate something wonderful for yourself !
This year I had lots of idea on what i wanted to make but most of them meant that i had to buy extra things that i didn't have and i really wanted to use what i had this time and see how i want with it.
I ended up making three hand carved stamps in two colourways for each design.  


 These first two fabrics are inspired by the lino in our bathroom , it's a 70s mustard in lots of hexagons and whenever i'm in there i like to pick out different pattern. I printed them on cotton fabric that i had on hand and used carving rubber and paint that i also had  

Next off i have a tulip and pear print that i think is really quite cute, this one was inspired by a little skirt that E.P has and a doona cover that i've recently got that's from the 70s with tulips over it in browns and mustards in true 70s fashion !


Well I can't wait to see what I get in the post from my swap partners :) 
TTFN,
Lili xxx

Hand printed fabric swap

Hello there Poppits,
did you all have a lovely day ?
I hope so.
I thought i would just share with you a little something that i'm taking part of ! It's a hand printed fabric swap, how spiffy is that.

It's such a grand idea, your sing up and get put into a group of four other fabric loving people and then you let our creative juices run a little wild whilst getting a little grubby along the way. By the deadline you post off a fat quarter of your work and wait to receive 3 other bits of fabbity  hand printed fabric.

I would like you to meet the three lovelies that i get to share my fabric with ( once i remake it... lets not go there)

                                                                                                                                                                 Jessica from Nebrasksa: etsy store bornlippy                                 
                      Riyo from Japan: blog talktothewind
Emily from Oregon: blog The Handmade Experiment
Rachel from Maineville: Blog imaginegn ants

Make sure you pop over and have a looksees at everything that they get up to.
TTfn,
