Fabric Stashing

When it rains it pours (literally today);  the postman knocked twice to deliver fabric goodies.


From top to bottom:
  • Sugar Pop by Liz Scott - Mod Buds in Pink
  • Sugar Pop by Liz Scott - Mod Buds in Aqua
  • Robert Kaufman - Metro Living - Circles White
  • Robert Kaufman - Metro Living - Circles Carrot
  • Alexander Henry - Monkey's Bizness - Pirate Grid Old Red
  • Alexander Henry - Moneky's Bizness - Pirate Grid Corn

And from Lecien's  My Folklore fabric range:
  • Bouquet in Burnt Orange
  • Wall Paper Blooms in Sunset
  • Bouquet in Natural
  • Flower Border in Natural
  • Birdies and Ponies in Natural
  • Flower Border in Sand

The solid fabrics pictured above are Robert Kaufman Kona Solids, all of which I've been cutting into, arranging and re-arranging today.  Unfortunately it is one of those behind the scenes projects which I can't tell you much about ... sharing will be limited to tiny snippets - just teasers really.  But it will be worth the reveal at a later stage.  

I hope you've had a great day!

  1. Can I have your postman?? LOL

    Over the Christmas period I got a lot of things delivered, but now I seem to have 'dried up'... need to do some more online shopping I think... just have to work out a way that hubby doesn't know ;)

  3. I love the mod buds, I think they were my favorite print in the cham pack. After the trees, though... I love them all, hope you'll find tons of inspiration even if you can't show anything yet.

  18. I'm dazzled by 'sugar pops' in pink and aqua for spring! Are those heavier weight than run-of-the-mill quilting weight? Love working with heavier stuff.

  19. Coveting now...I think I need to splurge on some more fabric. Wait, maybe I should use some of what I have in my overflowing stash, then I can splurge...

  20. The postman brought me some handmade buttons today. They're lovely but not as nice as a giant stash of pretty fabric! Congrats :)

  21. LOVE the solids together...I have a really strange affinity for shades of gray lately!

  22. Look at all the lovely new fabrics.

    I do have a question though, when you are stashing, how much of each fabric do you buy?

    I find that I never know how much to buy. For fabrics that I know fit perfectly into a project I am planning, should I buy a yard? For fabrics that I love but have no idea what I will use them for, should I buy 1/2 yard?

    Thoughts?
