Chances are the classic children's book The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a favorite read in your house. We found these great fabrics printed with Eric Carle illustrations at the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art. See below for some of our favorite panels...

Each panel is 1 yard in length and 100% cotton.

Panels are 100% cotton and sell for $8 each (except for the top design which is $8.50).

So besides wall hangings and pillow covers, Ohdeedoh readers, share with us some of your creative ideas on how to utilize these great fabric designs.

The food fabric would be cute as a tablecloth for the kids' table. You could make curtains for a playhouse out of the number fabric. The top one with the butterfly would be cute cut out and used as applique on kids' clothes or bags. I am covering up stains right now with applique and getting a lot more mileage out of the kids' clothes.
