My girl has 4 loose teeth already! One is very loose and we really need to get prepared for the tooth fairy. So while she was at preschool today I stopped in at Sarah's and went on the hunt for purple fabric to make a tooth fairy pillow. I imagined a small pillow with a pocket to hang from Jenna's doorknob. I searched from the front of the store all the way to the register when I spotted this next to the cutting table with a large collection of other Echino fabrics. I didn't really know for sure what I was looking for but when I saw it, I knew it was perfection!
After I picked Jenna up from school, I showed her the fabric and thankfully she approved. She rattled off several suggestions for the design which I wasn't expecting (but I think is sweet). So it'll be a bit larger than I anticipated.
We were at Stitch On last night to pick up my retreat packet and she chose these for her own personal. My brain must have registered the color because it's a pretty close match to what I bought today.
I'm playing around with trim choices. I want to keep it pretty simple but considering just a touch of lace. We'll see what I come up with.
Have a great weekend!

so funny - I just posted about a tooth fairy pillow today and then saw your post :) I'm sure yours will me so pretty!
I hopped over after reading your lovely thoughts at madame Samm's.
That fabric--J'adore!! The bunnies, and the little posies--or are they trees?--and the circlets of leaves and blossom, it has a sweetly old-fashioned look and yet it feels very fresh and modern too. The touch of lace will be perfection! I'm sure your little girl will love it.
(I'd add a small lavendar heart, but that's just me. :-)
I am here to visit after reading your post on Madame Samm's. It was a great message. I have been sewing and quilting for years but still feel like a new quilter. I LOVE your blog and your photos are just beautiful...not to mention your quilts!
I bopped over here after reading your post at Stash Manicure...love the purple and the trims! Your tooth fairy pillow will be sweet!
