I have to admit that I have been buying a lot of new fabrics recently. Most of my purchases have been patriotic fabrics, but there are also a few new bird fabrics on the way. It's always great to open a box of new fabric and there is usually a lot of oohing and aahing involved. I am rarely disappointed in my online fabric purchases, which is good, since I live at least 2 hours away (round trip) from a fabric store.

Here is a sample of some new fabrics:

I recently received a new shipment of patriotic-themed fabrics and this one is just stunning. I really love the pop of bright red color and the script and text in blue and white.   Pictures do not do this justice- this one looks much more colorful in person!

What to do when it's -3 degrees outside and windy- just too cold to go out of the house? I was inspired by thoughts of spring and dug out some of my favorite spring-themed fabrics, such as pansies:

Hummingbirds:

Goldfinches in their bright yellow spring plumage:

And some nesting cardinals:

Even though it is mid-January and there is still quite a bit of winter left, it is nice to think spring!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Here are a few new things from Bags of a Feather:
