Piggie Bank Page

I finished this cute page last night and I love it! I had to figure out how to make the "money" and I'm happy with how it turned out. The "coins" are just images I found on the internet printed on silver and copper silky-polyester fabric. Then I sewed with matching silver/copper thread around the images and cut them out. The paper money is actually fabric I ran across at Joann's that was PERFECT. Seriously. perfect for this page. I just cut it out and sewed up the sides. Unfortunately the fabric only had full images of the fronts of the bills so each one has the same image on both sides. But I figured it wasn't that big of a deal.

In other sewing news...I was thinking I might start a different blog where I stick all my quiet book pages and other sewing stuff in. And I'd allow google searches to pick it up (this blog I don't.) Also, the main reason for doing a sewing blog would be to round up contact info for fabric stores around utah because I've found THEY NEVER ADVERTISE IN THE YELLOW PAGES. All the fabric stores around here that I know of are just by accident or word of mouth. SUPER annoying if you are trying to find cute fabric and all you know is Joann's. They rarely have something special that you just gotta have. Perhaps I'd even write a little description of what they offer (i.e. Amy Butler/ or quilting fabric/ or contemporary prints--like IKEA) .

I was going to just have people send me the info as well as asking around for cute places. I dunno. What do all you sewing/crafting/cute people out there think? Would you appreciate the work that would go into this? Is it a waste of time? Am I trying to create a monster?! :)

OR even better... I just had this idea. We could set it up with several authors who could post stuff like projects and info and do it that way. I know several of the cousins are crafty, crafty, crafty... Or we could do the "guest post" thing too if you don't want to commit.

Anyway, let me know. Thanks!
