Follow the White Bunny

That's how I felt this weekend. Ever have those trips into the internet world where you get so lost in so much goodness that it is entirely overwhelming? That's where I was this weekend, and I had to take a step back. It is amazing what people are doing out there, and all the different ways people are sharing. The truth is, I'm a library school drop out. That's a tale for another day, but sometimes I really just want to organize the internet to make it all a little easier to digest in ways that make sense to me.

Follow the White Bunny is a sponsor over on Soule Mama this month. Pretty pretty embroidery patterns. Some favorites:

































I've got a soft spot for alphabets:

















Nicole is also a contributor over at Feeling Stitchy. Oh my there is some pretty stuff over there. I adore embroidery, but sometimes I'm not sure the best places to put it. Feeling Stitchy is a wealth of good ideas.
I love the idea of the embroidered squares of this quilt. (Perhaps I'll just embroider one or two squares on my quilt, but I think it could still good.)












And then this one, just for the pretty.

















And from there things got out of control and I had eleventy billion screens open and I was geeking out on awesome and I had to walk away.

I've got to have sewing patterns, too, don't ya think? I confess, I need some 'following patterns' lessons. I know tutorials are out there, and I need to read up. I've attempted following a few patterns, and I don't quite get it. The notchings, the dotted lines, the straight lines - I'm not always sure what I'm looking at. And I'm always a little apprehensive to make clothes for my babies knowing that they will likely outgrow them by the time I finish. What I do know is that these patterns are gorgeous. And the blog world out there loves them. I love the many many different directions people have taken a simple pattern.

Here's a most recent pattern set:














Take a look at this great pattern, the playdate dress:
















Now look at just 3 different ways sewers have interpreted the pattern. Oh, yes:

Sublime Stitching

I can't just sell fabric at my fabric store, can I? I love embroidery, applique, felting, beading - all the cool effects that kick fabric creations up a notch.
Sublime Stitching sure does fit the bill. I guess I'm supposed to call the designs hip and modern, but really they are just great. They are inspiration to all of us, that crafting doesn't have to be traditional, and we all can think out of the box to create something that speaks to each of us.
