How do I love thee . . .

I love Michael Miller and all those that design for Michael Miller {who I have learned is not a person, but two people's names merged together to make a company name. The love is not diminished by this fact.} Let me share some fun things that make Michael Miller so loveable.

Exhibit 1. Fabric for Fabulous baby blankets.
{a new blanket I just finished for a friend's FOURTH girl!}

Exhibit 2. Fun new fabrics to look forward to


Exhibit 3. Fabulous New Designers
This is a new fabric set called Andalucia. And it is so cute! She even has coordinating ribbon. I'm already planning all the bows I can make with this set!

Exhibit 4. Fabulous patterns designed by a Michael Miller Designer
{copied from the blog of Sandi Henderson}
Sandi Henderson has two darling fabric collections with Michael Miller - Farmer's Market and Ginger Blossom. And now she sells her patterns. So cute! It makes me want to take up sewing!

**************************

BUT . . . If you are like me and not quite a seamstress, have no fear. There are people who will make it for you!

Exhibit 5. An ebay auction just for lovers of Andalucia fabric.

From Patty Young's Blog: "Search "Boutique Andalucia" on eBay to find these fabulous pieces by some of the most talented designers I've ever come across. You will find everything from children's boutique clothing, to jewelry for mom & daughter, purses, camera accessories (bags, straps, lens cozies), Easter baskets, hairbows, headbands, aprons, wall decor... and even dog collars!"

Exhibit 6. Last but not least - do you Etsy?
If you don't know {but how could you not?}, Etsy.com is full of all kinds of handmade goodness. Anything you can think of is there.

Something cute from Andalucia fabric?

Something fun from Sandi Henderson?

What about Michael Miller in general?

So do you love Michael Miller yet? I hope, after all my many posts of adoration for all things Michael Miller, that you too are a believer.

{p.s. if any members of the aforementioned Michael Miller team want to send me free fabric and or ribbon, I will welcome them with open arms.}

I LOVE Michael Miller and Etsy. My friend has a shop on Etsy and does custom orders (so you could tell her what you want out of what fabric and she makes it- it is great). Oh, the Internet, what did we do before?

OK...My mom made me a baby blanket with Michael Miller fabric...Carnival Bloom and Dumb Dot Pink. She crocheted around the edges with turquoise and pink AND it is simply ADORABLE!! Everytime I use the blanket I get a million compliments...ok, maybe just 3...AT LEAST! I took it to a race Jon ran in Phoenix and I counted the compliments...16! I LOVE MICHAEL MILLER!!! GREAT POST!!!
