I hate shopping BUT ............ No. 1

Really ?
This was a no-brainerI bought one of these great do-it-yourself hand screen printed bunting panels off Nic of Yardage Design for a friend for Christmas. (and another one cause they were so ridiculously cheap)
Isn't it a great idea. The bunting and the instructions are all printed on one panel. You can either use the panel to make double sided bunting with Nic's patterns on both sides, or add your own fabric for the back.....thereby getting more flags.

This has to be one of those "why didn't I think of it?" kind of ideas.....Brilliant.
Apart from a great idea, Nic designs her own fabric and tea-towels, is absolutely gorgeous inside and out and was a joy to hang out with when we met at Stitches and Craft all those months ago.
(and no, this is not advertising. I really truly bought these off my own bat and just love them)

However, if you would like to see some real life advertising , come back tomorrow .......
(oh, and at this point I'm going for Number One on the green circle quilt)

Ah yes... another one of those 'why didn't I think of that' moments. Nic is very clever.

I love this idea of Nic's, and doesn't she package and present everything in such an eye catching & snazzy way? You can never have too much bunting, great idea for Christmas x

What a fantastic idea. I'm never able to think of clever things like that, totally brain dead I am.

I'm trying to figure out why I didn't buy one of these when I was at S&C... blinded by her cute teatowels, I think....
