I've had a lot of fun today putting 'fabriccy bundles' in the shop.

Amy Butler fabrics - damask rose palette
I've added some three, four, and five piece 'bundles' or should I say 'collections'? See I can't even decide what to call them.
What do you think? Do you think they're o.k?
Sadly, I can't claim all the credit for the content of these 'bundles' as these fabrics have been designed in palettes so ..... what can I say? I enjoy that 'bit' you know when you place fabrics side by side and the colours, patterns all interact to completely change the look and feel of something - pure magic.
You can see this quite clearly on Amy Butler's own website. She has an 'Inspiration' section and you can see how she achieves lots of different looks from one pattern or idea with the different colour/pattern combinations. Nothing less than brilliant! Not to mention helpful.
If you do visit Amy's site then you just have to take look at the 'free' (yes - really free!) projects that Amy posts. There are quilts, cushions, eye pillows, yoga bags, card holders, portfolio's - just loads. (You did look didn't you?) They're in PDF format and everybit as well written as her published patterns. Go on, be inspired or should it be 'risk being tempted' (say the last phrase in a very deep voice for the full effect, preferably with an echo).
Amy has also just issued an update to her 'Birdie Sling pattern', which if you've purchased this pattern you'll find here in the pattern updates, hints & corrections section of her website. The e-mail says that this is an improvement on the previous instructions as opposed to correcting an error or ommission.
So, I know this is two posts in one day but I'd really love to know if you think that there are any other bundles I could/should add to the shop? Comments are very welcome, I hate to think i'm sitting here alone.
One more thing has anyone tried 'crazy patchwork', and are there any particular books you'd recommend. I feel like trying something different you see.
