IKEA Fabric ♥!

Yesterday we took the day and headed to Austria for a little fun. Our first stop in Graz was the Burger King. Okay so I know you're like, big deal, but yea it was and the kids really enjoyed it. Then the day turned even better as we drove over to my most major crush, IKEA!!!


I totally love IKEA, everything they carry and the style, it's me! My most favorite part of the store is the fabric section. They carry some of the best quality fabrics in these parts. I was excited to see that they had some new stuff in stock and got busy at once cutting and weighing my booty. Now how cute is this birdy fabric, so cute. Love that single red beak!
I super love all the brilliant colors IKEA uses in it's fabrics, love it!
Got his little orange and pink lovely for only 2€!
Future skirt for Nana girl.
Another of that 2€ fabric. Cute birdies!
And lastly, love this large pattern print, so festive. It's also going to be a skirt, maybe mixing it with another. We'll see!

Stay tuned!

  2. Boy did IKEA jump out at me!! When we lived in Switzerland years ago...our entire home was furnished in IKEA!! We were excited to see it come to the USA. My daughter now decorates her home with Ikea "stuff".. I always loved their kitchen and bedding section.

    The bottom fabric is awesome. I'd like that for a quilt project!

    After living overseas..I can appreciate Burger King. I craved Tacos!

    God bless..

  8. Thanks for stopping by the PICNIC Tori and leaving a comment. Glad you enjoyed the photos..would have loved for you to join us!!

    One year I did a Lighthouse theme with a MISSIONARY testimony time. We have several in our own church who were home on fulough at the time. We each passed a candle to the next person to light our own Thomas Kincaid "Lighthouse" jar candle prior to beginning ... Let your light so shine! Matt. 5:16

    Blessings!

  9. Is that how it works??? By weight?!

    I never knew....maybe after I get my "monthly salary" a.k.a allowance, the first of May, I'll head on over to IKEA...(Only 30 minute drive on the interstate...)

    What kind of missions field do I live in?! ;)

  11. We are about 10 miles from Ikea. I love it! In our home we have my dd's desk, my ds's loft bed, 2 bookcases, a stool, rugs, accessories, and some bedding from ikea. I have never spent much time in their fabric section because it seems expensive to me and I would never know what to do with all those bold prints. :) My favorite part is the kitchen and bath section. I love all the doo dads and containers! Keep us updated on what you do with the fabric! BTW, I loved the post on vinyl lettering. I'm still looking for contac paper (without much luck)so I can do my own project!
