This weekend we went shopping for new furniture and strolled the isles of Room and Board, Home Furniture and Schneiderman's. HOME was Dan's favorite because they had a cookie cafe but I was most excited about my recycled fabric find. Schneiderman's had a big bin of fabric samples with a sign that said "Free samples great for quilters".
No, I did not attempt to pick up quilting since I do NOT sew but I did grab a stack knowing I would find some random holiday project idea. I think Dan was a tad embarrassed walking out with me and my handful of fabrics but I had no shame!

I was planning on using it for wrapping paper but instead decided to make bows. I found a blog on how to make bows and just used the fabric instead of paper. Now I will have a unique way to decorate my grocery bag wrapped gifts. And yes, I do buy real gifts- not recycled re-gifts!
