Fabric Stash ~ Fabric Treasures

 

Fabric Pansies! 

After some serious stash spelunking, 

I have uncovered buried treasures.

I cannot tell you when this fabric line was released.

This was one of my favorite Summer Breeze from Sentimental Studios.

In my early stash building days, I would buy a charm pack or layer cake or jelly roll of a new collection that I "had to have" and some yardage of my favorite focus print. What I bought was often determined by my fabric budget at the time. Layer cakes were under $40 when they first came out.

I have cut some of the layer cake.

I needed more yellow prints and dark blue prints ... 

... to add to my 

Scrappy Yellow/Blue/Green Irish Chain Quilt

I am still piecing Block B.

It is winter outside my window but these fabric flowers are 

brightening and warming my day.  

I know I have a few more pieces of Summer Breeze somewhere in my stash.

I am going to need to do some more digging into the past

to bring them to light before I sew Block A.

Happy Monday Sewing and Stitching and Stashing! 

A Stash of Leaves

I have been reorganizing and finding fabric treasures.

These are what I have left of a Maywood Studio line, 

circa 2008.

It is called "Leaves" by Jackie Robinson,

whose fabrics are always rich in color and have beautiful border prints.

I am making a small project with these and am wishing I maybe had more of these scraps.

I actually have few nice size pieces of the border stripe,

but not enough on the regular prints to make a lap size quilt.

I have not found other fabrics in my stash that work well with them

as the tone and colors are so unique. 

Maybe I will just find a cream background and see what I can do with what I have.

Maybe I will tuck the rest of the scraps back into my treasured stash.

I love my fabric.

"I Has Stash!"

I am the curator of a fine private fabric collection.

Translation: "I Has Stash!"

I am thinking that maybe for the coming new year I really need to make an effort to

sew a few of these lovely collectors items into a quilt.

Sew when I saw ...

The Stash Buster Challenge 2020

I thought I would take a look to see if this might work for me.

So I joined the 

Stash Buster Challenge FB Group

There are many pretty quilt inspirations from previous years to see.

The free block for the 2019 challenge is still available.

The Stash Buster Challenge 2019 Block PDF Here

The challenge is based on a single block that can work into different layouts

and sizes of quilts.

Time will tell if I sew along.

Do you have stash?

Are you planning to sew your stash in 2020?

I would love to hear your quilty plans for the New Year.
