Sunday Stash #35

This week I took advantage of some sales at Pink Castle Fabrics on Kokka and at a shop that is new to me called The Little Fabric Shop where they actually still have some Alexander Henry Farmdale prints in stock. Prints I hadn't even known about!
First my little bundle of Kokka. After seeing the whole cloth quilt by Bijou Lovely Designs made from Nursery Versery I decided I may want to try that some day, too. Soo....

The ballerina prints and the Nursery Versery patchwork are my pieces to try that. Little Red and some mice made their way into my cart too.
My next little bundle is the one from The Little Fabric Shop. In here I've got the Timeless Treasures Scribble Butterflies in all 4 colorways. They had been sitting in the back of my mind for awhile, and since they were finally all in one shop I went for it. Next are two tiny houndstooth prints from the Sophie Collection by Moda. Then Farmdale Curio and some Chocolate Pearl Bracelets.

After I finish the Super Mario quilt, which is for one of my daughter's friends, I shall make a different friend a super hero quilt. So I've started stocking up on prints for that. The other pile of Star Wars fabrics will be another quilt for the daughter. She seems to get a lot of my quilts...:)

And, because they are on clearance now and I cannot resist! A bit more of DS Quilts from Joann's. There were bolts and bolts of prints marked down to $6/yd, but I only got a bit of the ones I liked best. For now. When they go to $3/yd I might not be able to say no.

Schnibbles times two has made it's way into my stash. I've got some layer cakes that I don't have specific plans for and this might help.

Sunday Stash #34

I've only this one little bundle to add to my stash this week. I actually mentioned it last Sunday but did not have it in hand yet, so there wasn't a picture. Here it is, Poseidon by Robert Kaufman.

Always with my fabric buying I am drawn to all of the pretty prints and not thinking much about solids. So now I am trying to build up my stash of solids and these little bundles are a fun way to do it. Mine came from the Craftsy.com deals section. At a significant savings from what I've seen in online quilt shops.
Now I just need one in yellows/oranges and some bluesy blues, not greenish blues.

Sunday Stash #33

The Craftsy Deals struck again! I have now unsubscribed myself from their mailing list to keep myself from more temptation. I've actually unsubscribed from a lot of fabric lists. What I don't know about I can't buy, right??
Anyway, my final splurge at Craftsy included 5 bundles, only 4 of which have arrived so far. 3 are solids and one has dots and circle elements. The one I'm waiting for is Robert Kaufmann Poseidon. The set below is Robert Kaufmann Purple People Eaters and Greener Pastures, Free Spirit Essentials Solids in Soft and Free Spirit Essentials Spot.

I also gave in to the Riley Blake small chevrons bundle. This one is from Pink Castle fabrics using their 20% off coupon. I'm so glad they finally added a purple shade to the line; I couldn't figure out why they wouldn't have had one in the first place.

And, JAQS fabrics have/had their Mystery FQ bundles back in stock. Last time I tried a cool tones bundle and was very happy. This time I went with a warm tones bundle. Out of the 12 prints, I only really care for 3 of them. Not to mention the price went up $3 from the last time. :( So the first picture is of the ones I like, one of which I already have...

The next couple of pictures are the ones I don't really desire. I'm willing to trade these for quality, 100% cotton solids in yellows, oranges, pinks and probably many prints that I'm unaware of. If anyone is interested, send me an email and we'll talk.

And that's all I've got for this week. Linking up with Finding Fifth Sunday Stash

Sunday Stash: Meet Marguerite and Friends

Lots of goodies (at least I think so) to share this Sunday. First up, the one that I like the best out of this week's additions is Marguerite by Stitch Studios for Riley Blake. Sometimes there is a lot of hoopla surrounding a fabric line release making one desirous of the fabric well before it actually arrives. I may have missed it, but I don't recall any advertising about this line, yet I find it is so sweet and pretty.

My bundle (which I purchased from Sprightly Fabrics) is complete except for the 3 solid prints. Sorry my pictures are so poor, but that one print on the top left that sort of looks lavender is actually grey.

Next, I have Chicopee by Denyse Schmidt. This is another of her lines that have many dark and more masculine colors, like Richmond. I did end up getting them all (The Intrepid Thread) any way as I can always de-stash sale/trade if I don't use them.

And, I've come a little late to the party with some A Walk in the Woods. When this first came out I didn't see a need for me to have it, though I did like the birdies and mushrooms. I saw a quilt the other day that used some of the bows fabric and I really liked the look so I finally decided to get a bit of the 3 prints I liked the most(Moona Fabrics). The chevron on the end is the missing print I needed to complete my Madrona Road collection(Five Monkeys Fabrics).

And not to leave my local Joann's Fabrics out, I found something that reminds me of Liberty prints, and at pretty reasonable price. They only had a few of these packed florals, but perhaps they will get some more along this line. The grey circle is a nice blender print and the yellow floral was a remnant piece. The cute hedgies are a destash pick up from 1/4" mark blog.

And there was my midweek showing of the Spoonflower $1 fat quarter here.
And finally, my last two items are only temporary additions as they are on loan from the library! Again, I saw some posts by other bloggers about things they are making that involved these two books, so I wanted to check them out.

The one on the left is by the mother of Lizzy House I believe, and the one on the right is the quite popular Oh, Fransson!. There are some really wonderful projects to be seen; more items for my quilt bucket list.

And that, my friends, is the end of Sunday Stash. As ever, I'm linking of with Fiona's Sunday Stash

And just a reminder, you can enter my blog hop giveaway going on through September 3rd, here.

Sunday Stash

I wasn't too bad this week. I only picked up a couple of things...
From The Intrepid Thread I received the almost complete Madrona Road collection. There is one print that Julie was out of, the zig zag in blues, but I'm sure I can find it somewhere.

I just love the sprout and haystack prints.

And from the Deals page at Craftsy I found this FQ bundle of Gypsy Girl from Lily Ashbury. There are some really sweet plaids in this bundle. That deals page does have some pretty good offers from time to time.

Sorry I haven't unbundled this one for better pictures, but these really are lovely with florals, plaids and a few sketch type ala Summersville.

Sunday Stash Seemingly Random Picks

This week's additions may seem a bit random, but most of them have a specific designation in my mind.
Like this little bundle. I have an idea in mind for 2 quilt made with some paper pieced blocks and these will become part of that project when I finally tackle it.
Prints are Sailing Blue and Fly High Blue from Studio E and the other is ABCs of Fleas by Alexander Henry.

Next is this bundle of Kona solids in Jade, Ice Frappe, Ivory, Ash and Black. It's going to be the top for my Groovy quilt in the Totally Groovy QAL

Then there's this Ed Emberly Panel for my future prints with animals (not animal prints!) quilt project.

Now things get a bit random. From The Intrepid Thread I chose some of the prints from the new Good Life line by Riley Blake. Some dots and flowers that will go with so many other fabrics.

Michael Miller's Thar She Blows and some Backyard Baby Trees that I have long admired. The whales are for a planned sailboat themed quilt, the trees are undecided.

And, Joann's is having a .99 fat quarter sale this weekend so I found a few there. A few more dots and 2 quilt shop quality prints.

While at Joann's I noticed they had about 6 or 7 of the new Denyse Schmidt Richmond prints. I have to say this line isn't a must have for me, it's quite dark. I did pick up half a yard of one print, plus 2 Alexander Henry Market prints.

And of course I can't leave Joann's without raiding the remnant bin, especially as all remnants were 70% off this weekend! I found a few Kona solids and a couple of other solids.

Sunday Stash Final for July

My input continues to exceed my output. But I really do have hopes of one day using it all!

My additions over the past two weeks include a few layer cakes, a little bundle and some cool mystery fat quarters.

First up I took advantage of a sale at Green Fairy Quilts, where I got my layer cakes and fat eighth bundle.
First is Spa Day by Deb Strain. Something about all those cool blues called to me. I would love to do one of those mosaic type of quilts with this.

Some of the prints in the cake.

Then there is Sew Stitchy by Aneela Hoey.

And Dear Mr. Claus by Cosmo Cricket.

Then there's this fat eighth bundle of Good Morning by Me & My Sister Designs. The bright colors and the blender prints made me want to snap this one up.

And finally, I couldn't resist the lure of $1.25 fat quarters from Jaqs Fabric. She sells warm and cool fq bundles of 12 mystery prints for only $15. I thought it would be fun to see what showed up. I actually like all of the prints I received, and only 3 are dupes for me.

That's all I have to show for this week. Linking up with

Sunday Stash: Oh, Joy! It's Marmalade at the Seaside

I've added three new collections to my stash this past week. One won't be out until October, but I couldn't resist getting a little sample now.

I'm talking about Marmalade by Bonnie & Camille. This newest line continues to highlight the wonderful reds, pinks, aquas and greys of Ruby and Vintage Modern, but now with a splash of yellow and orange. It is so very pretty.
I purchased my fat eighth bundle at The Sproutz Store on Etsy.

Next is October Afternoon's Seaside. I had decided I needed some of the blender prints, which then turned into a desire for all of the prints! Really, except for the kiddies on the beach, all of the prints in this line can go with anything.

And selvedge lovers, check out this one. It looks like pretty ribbon.

Last up is a Christmas and Winter themed bundle. It's Joy by Kate Spain for Moda. I'm in the Vintage Holiday QAL, and while I intend to use my stash of Flurry, I thought I could make a 2nd quilt at the same time, using Joy.

And that's it for my stash additions this week. I'm linking up with

Linking up with Fiona at her Sunday Stash

This week's Stash report is very exciting to me as it has two of my favorites. Those would be dots and Denyse Schmidt fabrics!

First the dots, these are the new Ombre Dots by Riley Blake and they are just gorgeous. Ombre seems to be trending right now, but I would have gone for these anyway, because they're dots! Speaking of Ombre I can't wait until those ombre solids come out later this year. I got my dots from Selvage123 on Etsy. They also have the new chevrons, which I have so far managed to resist.

And then there's the new DS Quilts (almost)fat quarter fabrics. These are sold in 1yd packages and each contains 4 different prints. So far there are 4 different packages for a total of 16 new prints!

I think the idea is great if you're like me and mosty buy fat quarters. But if you like a bit of yardage, or really love a print and want more, then you're kind of out of luck. The only other minor gripe is that they don't measure a full 18 x 22, but the DS yardage of late wasn't quite stretching to two 18 x 22 pieces in one half yard either, more like 18 x 21.

I also picked up a few patterns that were on sale for only $1 each. Two of them are from Denyse Schmidt.

I'll be back tomorrow with a bag that I made from a different one of my $1 pattern purchases.>
