Oh, how I love Amy Butler fabric and especially this lacework in brown. If I win this, I might just wrap myself up in it to see if I can get a tiny bit of Amy Butler's talent through osmosis!

Methinks that fabric would go nicely as a changing pad cover...will blend in well with the latest 3 poop a day festivities...

But seriously - very cute fabric with an extra bonus of baby poop brown background!

I am teaching myself to sew. Amy Butler's book Style Stitches is the first sewing book I purchased. I know this Amy Butler fabric would make a great bag/tote of course. Thanks for the chance to win!

this would make a lovely quilt. hand stitched around the big flowers. gorgeous! :)

It never ceases to amaze me how much detail goes into these prints. Look at it. At first you see a pretty flower and nice colors. Then you start looking at the design in the lace. And as you study it a bit more and more, you see that all the hooks, curves and the various elements of the design link to each other like an actual piece of lace. There is no skimping in that design!! True talent!

I love this fabric... We just bought our first home and are in the process of decorating/updating it. What a process! My 3 yr old daughter Gracie insists on a pink room, with pink walls, pink carpet, a pink bed, and pink mirrors to dance in. I love that Amy butler's fabrics are timeless, so when my little pinkaholic grows out of this stage (let's hope!) it will still be perfect. :) thanks for introducing it to me, and saving me from searching!
