Bargin basement artwork

On the same amazing shopping trip to the fabric store that Dear Husband found the fabric for the chair, I found some great fabric in the quilting section to recover my canvases for my art work.  While they were much more than I would normally spend on cotton, they were not only in my colors, but had 4-5 fabrics that co-ordinated perfectly!  After a very short deliberation I chose 3 patterns I likes, and headed to the cutting table.

Each Fabric was $7.99 a yard before my 20% off coupon, so for one yard of each I spent $19.18.  I only used 1/2 of the fabric on my art, which leaves 1/2 to make pillows or something else artsy for the room.  

As I am sure everyone knows, it is so easy to make art like this.  Just wrap your canvas in fabric and staple to the back of the stretcher bars-easy peasy!  And I love the way they look with the couch!
