The tiny white dot on green is an Alexander Henry fabric. I love the simplicity of it. I'm going to use it to sash the next Christmas Cottage quilt I put together. The fabric on the right is a Japanese novelty fabric. It reminded me of a village to go with the cottage theme and I love all the details. It is an up and down print so some of everything appears upside down.
I love the outdoor touches like the deer and squirrel. I'm going to use this as the outer border for the cottages.
I like the tree, snowman, bird house and especially Santa's sleigh with the bag of toys in it. When I first looked at the fabric I thought it was a turkey in a roasting pan. But then I saw the bottom runners of the sleigh. I thought it would be funny and totally like some of the unusual stuff I've seen before in some of the Japanese fabric if it was a turkey.
This Christmas matryoshka fabric was a must. I just got a fat quarter and I am planning on making something for someone that reads my blog. So I can't say what it is.
Aren't the characters all so cute. My favorite is the reindeer that looks like a pig (to me). Can anyone else see that?
Even though this isn't actually Christmas fabric I got a little bit of it thinking I would make some ornaments out of it. I tried but didn't like the outcome too much. There plenty of other things I can use it for. I quite like the matryoshka horses.Well Sunday is my 1 year blog anniversary. So check back in the next few days. I'm going to have a giveaway to celebrate. And I think I'll have more than 1 prize - after all it is the season of giving and I think it will be a fun one.
Have a good weekend.

Love your Christmas fabrics! HA HA on the turkey in the roasting pan :D I really like that fabric though, no idea what I would use it for. I DO see a pig in the reindeer as well. OHHhhhh a giveaway! I like those ;)
I love that Japanese village fabric! Adorable. And those Santa matryoshkas - the cuteness is mind-boggling! I love them.
You always find such fun fabric. Thanks for sharing.
You always have a fantastic FFF showing, Nanette. I love matryoshkas.
Happy One Year Blogaversary!
All the fabric is so pretty!! Love the matryoshka fabric.
'loved the Japanese fabric. It makes me feel like a child again. The horses appear to be Dala horses from Sweden www.hemslojd.com. I have a 5 piece set in black that my brother sent me from his mission. The fabric is great, where did it come from?
You are right, we do have the same taste, love the fabric and the pig/reindeer. Also love your header with your wonderful tree. have a great weekend!
......me....reaching through the computer grabbing all this up....yes....i'm using both hands!
Great fabrics!
uhhhhhh..YUMMY!!!!!
Hi Nanette, as usual, I love ALL of your fabrics...but I'm not supposed to be buying any more Christmas this year...per my own rule...that I made up...today! Congrats on the almost one year as well...I sure am glad you have a blog...I've learned so much!
Love all your fabric buys, such different designs. Yes the reindeer does look a little like a piggy, and had a good giggle at your turkey in the pan. Congratulations on your upcoming 1 year celebration.
The fat quarter with the reindeer "piggies" is really cute. Yes, they do look like little pigs with antlers. Which reminds me that my grandson and I saw a white car in a parking lot last week that had reindeer antlers on each side at the back windows (like some people do those flags) and then a big round puffy velour "nose" had been fastened to the front grill. He thought it was really cool and I wished later that I had taken a picture!! :-)
I have one of those little horse in wood and I, too, think they're Swedish although I bought mine in Japan many years ago at the base exchange! :-)
Nanette, you find the greatest fabric! I need a list of your sources. (Unless they're top secret.) I love the new blog-banner as well!
Nannette you have the best taste in fabrics. Really, you look at all the fine details of it and you know how to appreciate the quality and charm in it.
Did you share your source?
Nanette, your fabrics are fantastic - you come up with the best finds! I've been loving all of the kitchy (is that the right word) Japanese fabrics for some time now....let's see....BD coming up next month - might put some on my list for hubby to get! Cheers!
The Japanese fabrics are so cute and whimsical, aren't they? I just love them!
I visit every Post of yours so I'll be back on Sunday!
When's your next Cottage Block Swap? I have made a couple of commitments for 2009, so I don't think I will be running any swaps early in the year, but would love to participate!
Hugs - Lurline!
I love the fabric, all of it!! By the way, I picked up a copy of Fons and Porter's Baby Quilts.... you are definitely famous! I love the quilt you made.
You have such fun fabrics - I love your Fridays! Barbara
What delicious fabrics! They are so fun and induce smiles all around. I love blogland. I generally get to smile at the computer for at least an hour before going off and working hard at doing nothing (at the moment).
Merry, Merry Christmas!!

Nanette,
You have great taste in fabrics! Such fun ones! Thanks for commenting on the post about mom. She comes tomorrow for our son's wedding and I will be able to show her.

nanette,
You have the cutest stuff!! I have looked at that fabric on line and love it! I haven't got the magazine in the shop but will pick one up for myself!! congrads!

Gosh Nanette! Has it only been a year -- it seems like you've been here forever. You always have the best fabric!
You've only been blogging for one year? That makes me feel better. I think you should do a post sometime on where you find all your fabulous fabric. I saw a fabric today at a new quilt store that has just opened in Hurricane and I bought it because it made me think of you! You have really influenced how I look at quilt fabric now!
Your fabric finds are always so much fun to see!! I love all of these but particularly the last one! Gorgeous!
You always have the cutest fabrics! Are there any particular shops you find these gems at? Or are you just lucky?
You do find the CUTEST stuff. I love the fabric with the little picture hanging from all the branches every which way. So many fun little details to look at and notice. It would make a great quilt border!
And Fons and Porter must be starting out on the east coast and going west if both Jackie and Carrie found it already. It is not here in Ohio yet.. at least not at our B&W. I have been watching for it!
love it all - especially the piggy rofl
Happy Anniversary. DId you get a copy of the magazine?
Love all the fabric especially the Japanese one. One year, Congratulations!
I LOVE the Japanese fabric! So funny, I saw that on etsy this week. I debated and debated on whether to get it. But I promised myself no more fabric purchases until some of these projects are completed! So I was a good girl. ;o)
Yes, a pig! I see it too.
Lovely fabric.
LOVE the fabrics you got. Visited you blog for the first time today. You make wonderful things!
Have a nice weekend (O: Simone
I love your Christmas fabrics!! And yes I see the reindeer/pig...so would that be peindeer...or a rig? I love that first fabric...where did you find that? I think I may have to search some out :)
the Christmas fabrics are great...I love the red and white
Hello! Happy Early anniversary, congratulations on the magazine, and thanks for leaving a comment about my scraps giveaway! I'm so happy for you, everything seems to be going to so well - yay for you! I thought about you last week, my Ashlee is living in Sugarhouse, and working at the Gateway. We went and had dinner there, and I thought "wouldn't it funny to run into Nanette". Take care my friend, I'm so glad that everything is going to great!
Cherri

Wonderful fabrics, as always. I look at fabric in a totally different way now because of you - and that's a good thing!
