art nest in sewing, simply lovely

 

With all three children spending the night away, I had grand plans of sleeping in today.  However, my body's internal clock had other plans so I was up early as usual.  Never fear...the early bird catches the worm.  I happened to find a fabric by the pound bin in a local quilt shop this morning.  In case you are wondering, it takes a lot  of 5x5 fabric squares to equal 1 lb.  I walked away with a sack full of fabric for only $5...I am quite the happy bird!

I came home, ironed out all the squares and started assembling this quilted headband.  I'm really happy with the results and love how the ends are so neat and clean.  It's fun to discover a new way to wear pretty fabric without having to construct an entire blouse or skirt.  I can wear a cream t-shirt, dark wash jeans and this simple headband for a comfy & cute weekend outfit.  Simply lovely!
