quillow sounds great. Can I have a Peppa Pig one for my great niece, please LOL. (Or just one with her name on would be fine). And if you can get a sample together it can do the rounds of the craft fairs with us.

Toots, you are in for the craft fair promotions :-) So that's 3 of us (4 if munchki can get a quillow together).

Saucy, safari sounds good. You could do zebra, giraffe, tiger, cheetah, leopard. Maybe even lion with fringing round the outside for a mane. Since Twilight is big I'd look at something Twilight inspired (but obviously without breaching copyright, after my rant a couple of days ago!). Cupcakes are big news for some reason, so cupcake themed would go down well I guess. I'd keep an eye on what colours are big on the high street as the fashionistas may want everything in the current colours. DD and I were in town today and lime green was everywhere, so maybe some in "this seasons" colours would go down well.

I do the odd notebook/journal myself but nothing like yours and I'm not planning on having any on my craft stall (although may do the odd one on Folksy if that's ok?) so we are still good for the promoting each other at craft shows thing. I tend to do altered style stuff so quite....um.... odd LOL.

Of course you can make some too, lol! You come up with excellent ideas though, I'll employ you when I'm rich :rotfl: Thank you!

I'm eagerly making notes, and I'll show you the fruits of my labour (Is that the right expression? Lol!) tomorrow!

hmmmm peppa pig, not even sure you can find that fabric, will have to look lol

Wouldn't have to be the fabric, hun. Even a simple appliqued Peppa would have one very happy 2 yo. (And I wouldn't shout copyright at you ROFL)

ok been thinking about this for a long time, I used to do this in the states and have done a few of them here with rather positive results.

I make something called a quillow, a blanket that turns into a pillow vice versa......nothing really grand however.................

I customise each of them and have done them for brides and grooms, using bits from wedding dress (excess fabric of course) and for babies and children, some are personalised with the childs picture or names done in buttons or ribbon, some have a small xstitched part on them, anyway they are completely custom. Have also done loads of generic ones..........just wondering what you all think of the idea as I am seriously thinking about it again after I find work of course.

Thank you

I think it sounds like a brilliant idea - and it sounds really unique too.

Saucy - anything Japanese cutesy will be a big seller - cartoon pandas etc. Also cupcakes or any kind of cartoon food is huge with the young 'uns

Is it me, or does everyone else love this thread too? I get as excited over other peoples ideas as my own, and the thought of munchki becoming quillow queen fair has me bouncing off the walls LOL. This is the coolest thread ever.

Sounds great Munchki - I'm wrapped up on my sofa in my Slanket right at the moment. This time next month I could be wrapped in my Slanket while snuggling up to my Quillow and writing in my Notebook Heaven pad, covered in black cats obviously, and wearing one of Wayne's teeshirts with Mad Cat Lady written across the front !!


Ooh and don't forget the well worn socks and slippers I'll be wearing

ooh those Japanese doll things are big. Can't remember what they are called, though.
