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.

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

This is the link to the page:
http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/fabricdetail/1695

This is the name and number of the fabric (you can locate it this way on the drop down menu on the liberty fabric page):
Red Bird Song 7158C

Please let us know if you still can't find it. You can always call us during business hours, we'll be happy to work with you over the phone. Our toll free number is: (800) 597-PURL.

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?

That looks great! And thank you so much for sharing the details for making these. I passed a big bin of the hoops at the thrift store yesterday. I think I need to go back ;-)
