I thought I'd share the little anthropomorphic birdy
stencil that I made for the fabric swap.
Just print to the size you want, cover the image with clear packing tape, and cut out the black bits with an X-acto knife. Then take a barely-damp sponge, dip in paint, and pounce. I used acrylic paint, which will stay fast on fabric even after repeated washing. . . .
Pink birdies could prance on pillowcases.
Blue birdies could bounce across baby blankets.
Great groups of green fine-feathered friends
could dance delightfully on cleverly created curtains.
Oh, the possibilities!
Thank-you so much. I have just the right project for this. Hugs Rene

Jo, thank you so much! This is great! (hands clapping)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing - you know that stencil/stamp thing always sends me a bit batty - no surface remains safe.
ReplyDeleteI got my package today. How fun to look at all the fabrics. I think I know what I am doing with yours.
ReplyDeleteI love the tag with a "T" too.
Thank-you.
My fabric arrived today...what fun! And you are such a sweetheart to share your stencil!
ReplyDeletequite awesome! Wish I had known about your fabric swap, what an awesome idea!
ReplyDeletePS is the cart pulling the horse? If so, who is pulling the cart? Or is the cart possessed?
PPS I have a horse that needs a name, drop by my blog.
