Hi Purl bee...
beautiful idea! I looked for that one fabric that has a red bird sitting amongst yellow and orange blossoms, but can't locate it on the store website.

It is there, its just tricky to pick it out of the group. Maybe this will help:

My husband saw your portraits and said "They would look great on our wall - do it Bron do it Bron!" What more incentive do I need? I am really enjoying your blog - thanks so much!

I love the swatch portraits. I'm going to make a few for the wall in my powder room. I also love the fabrics. Where do you find these beautiful textiles?

Thanks again!
