Tufted Tweets Projects

What a wonderful weekend I have had! I got to sew a few projects with Tufted Tweets which was just so much fun. I wanted to come up with a few functional and pretty projects I could share with you so you had some new ideas for things you might try to make once the fabric is available (May is just right around the corner!!)

Fabric Covered Containers
A super chic way to recycle some of those containers you have in your recycling bin! I used Tufted Tweets to beautify some old soup cans, a cereal container and an oatmeal container. These cuties can double as either organizers for the bits and bobs you have lying around in your office or craft space. I even tried adding a chalkboard label to a few so they can be neatly labeled. And for the containers that are made from cardboard you can slip a glass container in them and they make super cute flower vase sleeves!

Tufted Tweets Placemats
I am having a dinner party. Right away. Wanna come? I am in love with the way these turned out. My friend Curlin of Pippingtooth Studios was nice enough to loan me her studio and her patio for my photo shoot yesterday. And it took a great deal of effort not to call all our friends and throw together an impromptu party so we could feast at that gorgeous table!

And a quick update on when you will be able to get your hands on the fabric...The sales materials for Tufted Tweets are with the Robert Kaufman sales force which means they are showing it off to all the quilt stores. So I hope you'll start asking *your* local quilt stores to carry the line! Fabric should start shipping to stores in May. Yipeeee!! Here's a few more pictures to remind you what all the patterns and colors look like:




And finally...I promised you I would dork out eventually. Here's a quick snap of the selvedge. (Insert huge, goofy, ear-to-ear grin here!)

I just want to say how much I LOVE your work. You are immensely, immensely talented, and I am SO EXCITED that Kaufman has picked you up because now I will be able to afford your fabric. Get ready- you're going to have some serious groupies.

I love it! Can't wait - and I sure hope they'll be printing your donkey fabric soon too (hint hint Robert Kaufman!)

Awesome! And yes for the dinner party. Such a cute table....and what's for dinner??? Green goddess salmon would go nicely with the place-mats.

That's not dorky, having an ear to ear grinning moment is what life's all about! Here's hoping you have many many more! Kimberly

By the way, someone's newsletter, I think Hawthorne Threads, was spelling your name wrong so I corrected them. They had it as "burn".
