Finished!

The fourth pencil roll is done.  Yeah!  Now Libbie can stash her pencils in style. 

I think I am turning into a binding nut.  I guess that's better than turning into a nut in a bind. For this project, I used Heather Bailey's tutorial on continuous binding.  It worked like a dream!  A continuous binding is truly easier than what I was doing before.  The results are much more polished, too. I love it when that happens.  I encourage you to give it a try if you haven't already done so.

I just received a little slice of heaven from Fabritopia.  Six yards of fabric that I ordered when Jona had her fantastic sale.  Who can pass up fabric at $7 a yard?  I'm not sure what I will do with this fabric.  I have so many ideas floating in my head.  Hopefully, I will not be psychotic about cutting into the fabric paralyzed by indecision.  Sometimes I have trouble cutting into a piece of fabric because I don't want to spoil the fabric's potential.  It's so fun to dream about what it could be.  Silly, I know.  But I can't help it!

Well, I'm off to dream up something fabbity-fab-fab to stitch.  What a great day.

XOXO,

Cassie

PS-- I want to write a personal email response to the lovely comments some of you left on a previous post.  Until the computer gets back from the Computer ER, I can't.  I don't have access to email messages that I opened up prior to the big crash.  I will be getting back to you soon, though.  I treasure your comments ;-)!  cj

Love your fabric stash too!

I bought a few yards from Jona too! You really can't pass a sale like that up! I'll have to try binding from HB's tutorial. I usually get lost reading directions, so maybe actually trying it out will help.

Just beautiful! Both the crayon holder and the fabric. I look forward to seeing what to come up with ;-)
