Improv Palette

I am making slow and steady progress on Congruence, but when I only had a few minutes one afternoon last week, I let myself have a bit of play time to create a fabric pull for my next project. The bottom shelf of my stash has solids that I have in large enough yardages to use for quilt backings. This...

Carolyn Friedlander Stash Additions

In mid-March, Amanda @whatthebobbin was doing some fabric destashing through Instagram. I'm not normally one who pays a lot of attention to fabric destashing, but she had lots of Carolyn Friedlander prints, and I just couldn't stop thinking about them after I saw the post. I have a soft spot for Carolyn's prints, and Amanda had some scraps of some...

I was utterly blown away and surprised to learn that I won a prize for linking up to the Project Quilting 14.1 challenge with my {One} lime green placemat. Thank you so very much to Blue Bar Quilts for this...

January Stash Additions

You may or may not remember me mentioning in December that my black print fabric stash had really been depleted. I don't have a particular need or project in mind, but I knew the bin was pretty empty. So in late December when I learned that Amy, the owner of Sewtopia, had a small fire in her house (not...

December Stash Acquisitions {Color Girl Quilts}

I "met" Sharon from Color Girl Quilts many years ago through one of the New Quilt Bloggers blog hop series. Sharon is the creator of the Classic Curves ruler. I happened to see on Instagram that she is closing her Color Girl Quilts shop, so I decided it was a good time to support her and pick up a...

I will be making the Postage Stamp setting in the throw size this time, and I really cannot wait to dig in and get started. Many thanks to Moda Fabrics for providing me with two fat eighth bundles of Meander by Aneela Hoey...

When my husband and I were finalizing our plans to move, I knew it was going to throw a curve ball to Stash Fabrics in their delivery of my monthly Kona Club fabric. They were fabulous and understanding, and they were able to wait to ship my July and August fabric at the same time. I received the June...

May Stash Kona Club Fabric

I just wanted to pop in today to share the fabric I received in May as part of the Stash Fabrics Kona Club. It might not seem very exciting, but these fabrics often do a lot of heavy lifting in a quilt. Black, gray, and white are very commonly used as background colors, and the nuance in undertone in the...

Current Stash Fabrics Kona Club Storage Solution

I have officially received one third of the Stash Fabrics Kona Club fabric. In January, I wasn't sure how I was going to store all this fabric so I put it all back in the box it was shipped in and tucked it away in my "super closet" for later consideration. I am getting a yard of each color,...

Stash Fabrics Kona Club {February}

While I was on my two week staycation, I received my Stash Fabrics Kona Club fabrics for February. When I opened the box, I appreciated the ombré fade from light to dark. What can I say, I'm a sucker for a lovely shift in value! I'm thinking these fabrics are going to end up displayed in our living room bookshelf. Stay...

Stash Fabrics Kona Club {January}

EDITED TO ADD: Stash Fabrics reached out to me to let me know that they do label the fabric. Either the yard of fabric I unfolded originally had lost its label, or I just missed it, but I did check and found a label on another yard. So that is really good to know; the labels just seem to...

August Stash Acquisitions

As you are likely aware, my friend Bernie, who runs the Needle and Foot Etsy fabric shop, is retiring. Everything in her shop is discounted, and I picked up a few items from her shop that arrived last week. I selected yardage of Royal Blue in FreeSpirit Solids, Chocolate (Dark Brown) in FreeSpirit Solids, Picnic in Straw, Picnic in Brick,...

Love is Love Pride Fabric Collection

A few years ago, Mathew Boudreaux (whom you may likely know as Mister Domestic) reached out to see if I had the time to make something with his newest fabric collection. Unfortunately, the timing didn't work out due to some other commitments that I had. Fast forward to about a month ago, and he reached out again to see...

April Stash Acquisitions

It all started innocently enough (as most things do, right)? I needed to place an order for enough Kona Cotton Nightfall for the backing of Pulsar. I also needed to get more matching Aurifil thread, 2784 (Dark Navy) for the Nightfall for the quilting. Well, since I was shopping at Stash Fabrics for the Nightfall, I started thinking about what...

I am currently working on a lot of different "secret sewing" projects, which is both exciting and frustrating. I definitely look forward to being able to share details about these projects when I can (stay tuned for more about some on Friday), but it's frustrating because I have less that I can share and talk about in the mean...

Morrison Park

Pat Sloan's newest fabric line with Benartex, Morrison Park, will be in quilt shops starting in October. When she reached out to me to see if there was a chance I might have a pattern or quilt I might want to make with her new fabric line, I had just figured out how to make curve star blocks and...

Local LQS Store Closing / Retiring

At the beginning of 2020, one of the two quilt shops in my town announced that they would be retiring in April. When I heard the news, I went into the store and picked up 6 yards of Kona Cotton Snow and a few other 1/2 yard cuts and chatted with the owners. They were planning to move the...

The Confident Stitch {Stash Enhancement}

To be perfectly honest, my stash of prints looks a lot more like scraps to most people. The first shelf above my sewing machine has 12 small, clear plastic bins that hold the majority of my print stash (I also have a dedicated Carolyn Friedlander large bin on the second shelf right now, too). I tend to add fat quarters,...
