My favorites amongst these: the Mod mug (AH! I love big mugs), the Goddess Sheet (won in a giveaway by my guild friend Michele and gifted to me - I used one for the first time and loved it - thank you for your kindness, Michele!), top purple leaf fabric from Zooks (it's so me), and the Literary fabric (library book dates) I found at Old Country Store.
Oh, and I treated myself to a lace zipper and variegated purple Valdani thread from the last shop. Yum. I already have plans for that thread in my next portable hand-stitching project.
Finally, check out the glimmer of this Essex linen bundle by Robert Kaufman. It was begging to be photographed. I rarely buy bundles, but all the fabrics in this bundle matched my future linen picnic blanket project, so I went for it. Thank you, 1 Choice 4 Quilting (affiliate link - but I wouldn't link to something I didn't 100% love)!
I'm thrilled to purchase some fabric for future projects. In the meantime, I'm being much more aware of what's in my fabric stash already; I've only been buying fabrics that I need for a specific project, or ones that fill a distinct color hole in my collection. And after I'm done with book sewing, I have big plans.
P.S. Within the next month, I'll be having a large destash on @quiltyhabit_destash over on Instagram. Check it out if you're in the market for some modern fabric and scrap bundles by color.
Linking up to Sunday Stash.
Essex linen has such a great hand and I am a sucker for the metallics they are addin in, too! So many "you" picks her and that mug looks amazing. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shopping Jess! I have eyed that Essex bundle; it has lovely colours! x Teje
ReplyDeleteHa ha! So true about Lancaster! :) That bundle of Essex is beautiful. I have been doing the same as you--clearing out some older fabrics that no longer fit my style, while being careful about what new fabrics get added.
ReplyDeleteI love that Essex bundle! Such great colors and textures.
