Day 233 - Favorite Fabric

And the winner of the Torendi prize is...........


Congratulations, Beverly, please email me here so I can get your prize mailed off to you ASAP!

Introducing your Top Trio:

1) Deanne - for an incredible interpretation of the sketch.
2) CraftBelle - for showing motion by creating wind through stitching.
3) Juanita - for this gorgeous color scheme card and all the effort that was put into creating it.
Congrats to you all - you are welcome to grab the Card of the Week blinkie from the sidebar for your blogs :)

And the Weekly Challenge All-Stars:

Chrissie, Shelia, Jaggs, Doreen, Beverly S., Rebecca, Linda B., Michele V., Rose Miller, Asarasota, Kim Mc., Kim (Kim's Cricut Creations), Donna, Robyn and Celeste

Well done! By the way, since I started doing the All-Star list on Monday's post, you will be acknowledged if you complete all the week's challenges by Sunday night :)


Today's challenge is about finding inspiration right in your home. Specifically, I want you to find a piece of fabric in your home (it could be from a curtain, quilt, sweater, whatever you can find) that you love. Take a photo of it and share the fabric that inspired your card. And just so there's no confusion, I'm not asking you to put any fabric on your card, just use it for inspiration.

Now if you've been following us for a while, then you'll know that our designer Gloria is a regular rule-breaker, and today's challenge is no exception (you know we love ya Gloria)! She tells me that she couldn't find any fabric at home that she liked, so she used the quilts in these photos:

And she created this stunner:

So look around you and see if you can find a piece of fabric that grabs you and see what you come up with!

Congrats winners!

Honestly girls, you have no idea the lack of fabric in my home! We have no fabric curtains. It's all wood blinds. The comforters we have are so not inspiring...I really did look, but...nada! LOL So I cheated. I was going to have Pam tell you those were MY quilts...but then I'd add fibbing to cheating! GASP!

This was so easy for me - I chose the obvious fabric x
