Todays Sunday Stash.... little monkeys from Amitie. As per usual with my fabric shopping habits, I have nothing specific in mind for it. I just bought it because I thought it was cute!
Do you remember the gender neutral baby quilt dilemma? I just happened to mention to my girlfriend that I was planning on making her a gender neutral gift before the baby was born, as she wouldn't open the secret envelope with the answer inside! She then informed me that she actually love it if I wouldn't mind waiting until the baby was born, because she would prefer if I could make something specifically for a boy or a girl. So my plan for using the fabric that she had purchased and given to me went out the window.
After having a re-think, I'm now going to use it to make a cushion for her 2 year old son's birthday in March. I've booked in to do a cushion making course at Amitie, so I'm now going to make a patchwork cushion panel using the clown fabric, before the class. I'm thinking the clowns, red, yellow, and the stripes will be perfect a little boy.
Tune in for the winner of my giveaway later on tonight!

Alls well that ends well! I had the same thing happen when telling a friend I was going to make her a gender neutral softie... aarrgghh!
Sunday Stash time already? Oh no! I've lost track of time!
I love the monkeys!
I bought that monkey fabric from Amitie as well! I love it! I am interested to see what you do with it, as mine is still sitting in my stash :-)
I think this is going to make a gorgeous cushion! Love the yellow polka dots (I know biased)
You know, being the procrastinator that I am, I'd be breathing a sigh of relief that there was a time extension on the baby quilt! But I somehow think you're a bit more productive than me :)
I love the monkey fabric. Its really cute. I can't wait to partake in a little stash building at Amitie next weekend!
Love the monkeys!! Amite sounds like fabric heaven!
Good decision, the big brother needs some attention when his rival arrives! The fabrics will be great for a little boy.
Oooh, that monkey fabric is gorgeous!!! I would have just bought it without a second thought too!!! Looking forward to seeing the cushion - it sounds gorgeous already :)
