Think Spring: Fabrics in Pinks and Greens

This was a day of an incredibly beautiful snowfall - big, fluffy flakes floating down from the sky for most of the day. It was so lovely to see! I love it when it's the kind of snow that clings to the tree branches like frosting . Lucky am I to have a little woods view to enjoy it all! This shot is from early in the day when the snow was just beginning to coat the trees .



Sitting here on a cold, cold day bundled in 3 layers of clothes, I read a note from Erin from the Sunshine State. She's looking for another pair of ruffle pants for her sweet girl. Though she loves her denim ones (thanks for the nice words, Erin!) her daughter needs some lighter weight fabric for the warmer days of the Florida winter. Pink and green are favorite colors, so here's a peek as some cotton fabrics that are perfect for ruffle pants and warmer weather.

First up: Amy Butler's Daisy Chain Kaleidoscope

Midwest Modern Nouveau Trees

and Daisy Chain Sweet Jasmine.

Amy Butler's very recently released Love collection, Mint Dots would look darling as the ruffle with the roses fabric for the main pant.

Tumble Roses

Or Olive Dots in stead of Mint ones.

More Amy Butler - these from her Midwest Modern collection and in a beautiful fuchsia pink. The Midwest Modern collection fabrics look great when fixed, so they would also work great to have any one fabric for the legs and another for the ruffle.

Brand new from Patty Young: Flora and Fauna with lime background and shades of pink.

The Flower Bucket collection from Michael Miller

Alexander Henry's Lorenza collection offers little blossoms on pale pink background

or giant flowers on sage green

Lorenzo dots

Alexander Henry's Mocha in green and pin
