This month's theme for Jan's ATC Swap is "Fabric". Have you ever had so many choices that it ended up paralyzing you? You couldn't make a decision? That's where I am right now. Should I quilt my next ATC? Should I do some stitching on it or save that for a later exchange?
This is what I pulled out an started thinking about. I could use this fabric as the ground for anything else I do. Or should I piece fabrics together into a small ATC-sized mini quilt? Should I add needlework to it? Right now I'm completely stymied.
I could make ten small garment cards. Do you remember the one I did for the Blissful ATC Swap so many years ago. Here. I'll refresh your memory...
This one was actually secured to the cardstock I used for the card. If you'd like to see more photos and the inspiration, click HERE. Maybe I should make a simpler garment for this month's theme? Maybe something in flannel to go with the season? See? Now I'm off in a different direction completely! In the imagined words of Scarlet O'hara, "Whatever shall I do?"
Do you have any thoughts or suggestions to help me trim down my criteria? I'm always happy for the input. Otherwise, you know I'll keep on thinking about this for a while until something hits me between the eyes. Just to be safe, don't plan to stand behind me for a while.
Squirrel! Oh so many beautiful squirrels! Which one to run after, now that is a challenging question?!?! And, yes, I often feel like a deer caught in creative headlights... and it drives me (and my husband) nuts when I ask his opinion and he says what he likes about each idea, not really helping me nail just one down. 🙄 Such a dilemma. 😄
ReplyDeleteOh my - that was before I discovered you and obviously I missed a lot! That ATC is/was inspired!! Talk about a lot of work. My mind immediate flitted to making PJ's (or just the top) using flannel. Could be because I've spent the lion's share of the past 2 days searching for PJ fabrics for the grandies.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure whatever you decide, it will be fabulous!

Sherry of createology: I am no help dear because I’m still in a quandary over what my Fabric ATCs will become this month. And the days are racing along. Oh My…whatever shall I do?
