Sunday Stash

I did it again. More Fabric = More Quilts. Right?

You've heard it before... "This year I have been working hard on using fabrics from stash for most of my projects." And I am repeating this to justify the fact that I need to replenish my stash. Makes me feel a little less guilty!

• Heather Givens - Literary - Read Aloud Teal
• Libs Elliott - Tattooed - Zoltar Teal
• Libs Elliott Tattooed - Bright Eyes Light Blue
• Libs Elliott Tattooed - Bright Eyes Light Purple
• Cotton + Steel Lagoon - Lemur Forest Orchid
• Lizzy House - Asterisk - Plum
• Cotton + Steel - XOXO Dandelion

Working on incorporating some more modern prints into my stash.
And Clinton Modern Creative seems to be making that an easy task!

If I had to choose just one... I would choose those lemurs!
You just know that I am a sucker for anything animal.

I love the contrast those little black and white faces and striped tails provide!

And then there were these two pieces added to the cart.....

• Brushline - Concrete
• Cotton + Steel - Wolves - Grey

I added those because I had previously purchased the squirrels I shared with you in this post. I purchased the squirrels because I plan to make a new pillowcase for my daughter. So I had to add the wolves to make a pillowcase for my son, of course.

Once again, Darla provided me with a little gift for making the purchase. A package of sewing machine needles! That reminds me.... I haven't put in a new one for a while, so now I have no excuse. Better get on it!

This new fabric was purchased from Clinton Modern Creative.

Sunday Stash

As I said last week.... 
This year I have been working hard on using fabrics from stash for most of my projects.

But for some projects I have been ordering fabric just to suit a new pattern, such as the Mermaid quilt I shared in this post. However, we all know that at some point you need to replenish that stash. And today's post is all about more fabric additions.

Compositions - Numbers in Grey, Hashtag - Small in Cranberry, Hashtag - Small in Steel, Hashtag - Large in Lipstick and Hashtag - Large in Grey

Most of my early quilts were made strictly using solids. And I am still very fond of solids. I find them comforting to work with. But this past year I spent a lot of effort overcoming my difficulties with using prints. And now I find myself seeking out prints that mostly read as a solid, but that are clearly prints.

Sketch - Candy; Sketch - Ballet; Studio Basic - Pink; Sketch - Tangerine 

So this stash addition mission was successful in that I did find some suitable prints - mostly in pinks, greys and oranges. But now I need to start working on finding some purples. I have an aversion to using purple it seems. And it is the next hurdle I would like to overcome.

Mixology - Woven in Cotton Candy; Studio Basic - Grass; Studio Basic - Citrus

For now these new fabrics will be tucked away in my fabric storage. They were not chosen with any particular project in mind. And hopefully in the near future I will be looking for something particular, find one of these pieces and think, "Perfect! This is exactly the right colour and texture I was looking for!"

True Colors - Lodge Lattice in Pink; Boutique Brights - Lines in Pink; Hello Love - Get Back in Blue

This new fabric was purchased from Sew Sisters Quilt Shop.

Rainbow Sunday Stash.... And Squirrels!

This year I have been working hard on using fabrics from stash for most of my projects.


However, we all know that at some point you need to replenish that stash. And today's post is all about fabric additions. Rainbow style!

These pieces are a bright delight! 

Never having shopped from here before, I was surfing the internet last week and stumbled upon this sweet honey hole.....

It was difficult not to choose every print carried in the Clinton Modern Creative lineup, but I narrowed it down to these few....

When I shared about my Giraffes in a Row finish last month, at the end of the post I showed a my second stash addition for the year. There was a stack of Kona Cottons for the Giraffes: Violet, Magenta, Cyan, Teal, Lime, Avocado, Canary, Papaya, School Bus, Flame, Deep Rose and Lipstick; for the Background, Essex Yarn-Dyed in Charcoal; for the Backing: Widescreen Crosshatch in Black and for the Binding: Kona Charcoal.



The plan at that time was to make the 6 giraffe version of that pattern using all Kona solids for the giraffes. But after visiting Clinton Modern Creative for the first time.....

I had a MAJOR change of heart! 

I have always been drawn to solids but have been working on incorporating more and more prints into my designs - and my stash. So the plan now is to use some of these new additions WITH the solids to make the giraffes.

Shiney geometric goodness!
