Sunday Stash #6

#6?! Gosh, where have the weeks gone?!

Last week I showed you the charm pack drawer, this week it's the turn of the jelly roll drawer. Can you tell I'm working up to the layer cake drawers? Yes, plural - there are at least two drawers. I really must de-stash...

Here's the drawer



A bit full as you can tell!

I've unearthed these little treasures 

Firstly a rainbow Fairy Frost roll from www.michaelmillerfabrics.com


Such a glorious spectrum of colour with the shiny overprint pulling it all together. 

Next up is a 5" roll I bought from Juberry Fabrics (www.juberry.co.uk) the Festival of Quilts last year. 




I have no idea of the name but I'm thinking Kate Spain from the print design and colour palate. 
I also bought a second roll from Juberry which turned out to be Little Black Dress so they've obviously got awesome taste!

And finally a Moda jelly roll of Sweetwater's Elementary. 


Yet another precut I'm keeping for some unspecified "him" project in the future. Well, you never know, right?!

Linking up with Molli Sparkles's Link up

Happy Sunday sewing!

The fabric stash that ate the world!

Ok, so this sounds like a B movie title but it's also a fairly accurate description of the fabric which seems to be taking over my sewing room.

I recently bought some extra storage (that extra suitcase from Missouri Star Quilt Co really held a lot of layer cakes and jelly rolls!) and it spurred me to try to sort out my stash. It soon became clear that I can basically survive without buying any more fabric for a year. Or more. Maybe a decade. Seriously, I could open a shop with just the amount of Kona snow yardage I own.

Being on a fabric diet very similar to being on a food diet - you know that you're doing it for your own good and that you'll feel better in the long run but....oh but I want to cheat so badly!

On my "I don't need it but I want it" list is Aloha Girl by Fig Tree Quilts



Black and White by Cotton and Steel (those hares!)



Clementine by Heather Bailey




and finally Feed Company by Sweetwater



Yeah, the diet's going to go great...
