I love Tula Pink, simply adore her fabrics, so when Massdrop had a bundle of her True Colors, I just couldn't resist it. It contained 16 of the 20 fabrics in that line (and yes I'm going to get the other 4). I don't really have a project decided for this fabric, but I'm sure it will be put to good use.
Next up is Cotton & Steel purchase. I got an email from Craftsy about a sale and they had Cotton & Steel Mystery boxes for $49,57 and each box contained 40 fat quarters. So that would make it about $1.25 per fat quarter. You had the choice between, yellow, aqua, pink and navy. By the I decided to order the navy was already sold out, But I decided to go ahead and get the aqua, pink and yellow. My thought was that I want to do some "utility" quilts for the kids (yes I know they are all grown). And these would be a good base to use. I was so exited when they arrived. The aqua was the first I opened it and it was great. The pink was good too, but then I opened the yellow. Now as with the pink and aqua, I didn't expect every FQ to be all yellow, but I did expect that more than 1/2 the box would be yellow. But it wasn't. So I emailed Craftsy and they were great. They gave me a couple of different solutions, and were very quick to handle the issue. I ended up keeping the box as a greatly reduced price. Now I have lots of duplicates, but since I need to make at least 3 if not 4 quilts, I don't think that will matter at all.
All in all it was a great week for fabric coming into my stash. Now I just have to decide what patterns I'm going to use for the kids quilts. I was really hoping for more yellow, because I have an idea for Callie and Beau's quilt. And since they are big Baylor fans, yellows and greens are going to need to be prominent in it. I'm thinking of mixing the aqua and teals in Trey and Jess's but don't have a pattern in mind. No clue what to do for Cole yet, and I have a great idea for Mecca and Tom, but I'm not sure these colors will work for them. Guess that means I'll have to buy more fabric...you know that isn't something I enjoy (hehehe). Today I'm linking up with Molli Sparkles.
What lovely additions to your stash!!! I took part in the Tula Pink Massdrop. So tempting!!
ReplyDeleteThose C&S boxes were so tempting. You have a lot of quilts to make! I am doing a TP True Colors swap on IG. It's my first swap and I bought my fabrics at a LQS. They only carried 10 bolts so I am a bit envious of your bundle.
ReplyDeleteYou've chosen some wonderful fabrics! The Cotton and Steel boxes are breathtaking! I know you'll put all this fabric to good use!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of great fabrics to add to your stash. It is always great to hear about good customer service, too.
ReplyDeleteI would be in fabric heaven if all that was delivered to my house!! Sounds like you have plans for a lot of it; you can just pet that stack of Tula until you find the perfect project! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Okay, you win the fabric stash award for the week! haha .. So much goodness in one post -- I would be on fabric overload. You should take a picture with you laying about on all of them, literally swimming in fabric! Congratulations to your new found loves!
