Stash Report / Sunday Stash

Before we get to the nitty gritty, Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!! I hope each of you has a day filled with love and laughter and maybe even some chocolate!!!! Well the numbers for the last couple of weeks have been going in the wrong direction, but not because I purchased anything.  I have won two giveaways and I want to be honest in my reporting. I did add a column for gifts, so that I can track if I bought or not. I am really surprised that neither Sharla or I have fallen off of the wagon yet. And I still look at the 24 hour flash sale at Fat Quarter Shop and all the sale notices I get from different stores, but each time I ask myself do I love it more than what I already have and the answer is no. I did finish a quilt top last week, but I don't get to count it as gone until the quilt is finished, but I feel like progress is being made.

Since I've received fabric as a gift I have the opportunity to show you my new stash additions. The first came from PennyDog Patchwork where I won her Sew Mama Sew giveaway. It was 2 half yard cuts of Cotton + Steel Backgammon prints by Melody Miller, a copy of Popular Patchwork and then she made this awesome pouch for me as well.  The backgammon prints are too cool, I love them.


Then I was lucky again and won a bundle of fabric from UpStairsHobbyRoom and Fabric Please!. Sandy at UpStairsHobbyRoom is a series called One Block Wonders and she had a sneak peak for February's block and giveaway and I won. Now this fabric could not have been more perfect for me because it was by Basic Grey, and I love everything they do. The line is Mon Ami and I've been eyeing it but haven't wanted break my fabric fast. So I get some fabric and I love and didn't have to buy anything.  Yeah me!!!


I've always considered myself blessed, I live in a free country, I have family and friends who love me, I have a job, home and car and lastly I get to do something I love on a regular basis. But weeks like this where fabric appears for free, just makes me know that I am truly blessed.  I want to thank PennyDog Patchwork, UpStairsHobbyRoom and Fabric Please! for their wonderful gifts to me.

  5. I just won a voucher from Fabric Please and Jenn (A Quarter Inch from the Edge). I am going to browse for a while before I choose.
    Like you, I have done well on my fabric restraint. I did have to crack and buy some white thread and white fabric last week. I was trying to buy nothing, but it seemed silly to use 'good' fabric when I didn't have anything plain to line cushions.
