trades

Ever since I signed up to attend Art FIBER Fest and read about the mad trading everyone does during the meet & greet sessions and throughout the Fest, I have been racking my brain for ideas on what to take that I could mass produce without losing my mind to the boredom that usually occurs if I have to make more than 4 of the same thing. I have made several sets of my birdie buttons and will make more of those but I wanted something that actually included more FABRIC. When I saw these perky little tags that Alicia made it got the hamster in my brain running and today I made these:

In other news, I am signed up for the June Coloriffic Swap on Flickr. Unfortunately the color theme this month is Black & White and you can pick one other to accent. Its HARD to find black and white stuff in spring! So, today I headed to my friendly, neighborhood quilting store (about the closest I get to an art store where I live) and picked up this yummy stash of black and white fabric. Now, just to figure out what to make!
