I love this month's cover of Homespun magazine. That Kaffe Fasset block is just the tip of the iceberg on a quilt that (in completion) is really quite stunning. And it's super cool that they featured my fabric stamps pic inside this issue...
Making these stamps was a lot of fun ~ going through favorite fabrics to pick out the cutest motifs and using up tiny fabric scraps, too. In the end I used up pretty much all of the fabric stamps I'd made on this airmail mini for Mia ~ and I love how it turned out. But of course the real genius behind all this stamp action is my friend Amy Morinaka of Chick Chick Sewing. The stamps and the airmail mini that inspired mine are original projects in Amy's book, "Zakka Handmades" ~ I love this book!
So, you see, it was truly Amy Morinaka's cute idea!
Do you remember this bag? Probably one of the most favorite things I've ever made, seriously. That was a project from Amy's book. Zakka Handmades is so charming and clever with simple projects that are easy to sew ~ go get it!
And Homespun magazine is just dang beautiful from cover to cover ~ it's at newsstands now. International friends can order it from zinio.com
