And I was doing so well!
I almost got through two months without any major acquisitions. Of course, hunkering down in the sewing room without venturing out in the elements had a lot to do with it.
A trip to Indianapolis for a meeting -- on possibly the only two decent days in February -- created an opportunity for me to stop at two of my favorite shops: Whittles near Bowling Green, KY and the Back Door in Greenwood, IN. I shopped with a purpose and don't feel too bad about my purchases.
Ehh, I may have doubts about this one which looks a lot limier in the light of day than it did in the shop.....

| Much limeier in real life |
These will go with my other Henry Glass soft country prints for a project currently underway.

These are intended for Son-2 and DIL, pattern to be determined.

| Destined for Conway |
These will be used for Wonderful 1 Fabric Quilts (I hope they'll work -- but not together!).

And this was just a luscious yellow I couldn't resist for my stash.

| Luscious yellow - take my word for it! |

You freshened your stash with a purpose. LOL
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your positive take, Charlene!
DeleteI agree with Charlene, purchases with a purpose are not a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteMy goal was to not go over what I had already used, so a little less than 6 yards ain't too bad. I should be able to get much of that back this week when I put on borders and make backs for two lap quilts.
DeleteLovely fabric! Great additions and there is no need to feel bad! we need to add to stash to keep it fresh.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm certainly not going to beat myself up over it. I just need to strive to get back close to even before I go to Mountain Quilt Fest at Pigeon Forge in two weeks!
DeleteI am right there with you, I fell off the wagon too. I needed fabric for a narrow border and ended up with 20 yards! Most without a purpose. At least you got some beautiful fabrics to add to your stash.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't take much, does it? At least you're still on the plus side.
DeleteIt's dangerous to walk among the fabric. It seems to just jump into your arms. And it's so pretty, too! Like your lime fabric. Sharon B in Franklin
DeleteThe same thing happened to me except that my incoming fabric was 16 1/2 yards from Ikea. I really like the dark red border print for your 1 Fabric Wonder - it will be gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteQuilting fabric from Ikea? What will you do with it? Wish we had one closer to us than Atlanta.
DeleteYour purchases are lovely! After the bad weather we've had, you needed a little sunshine in your sewing room! I really like the lime print. And the darker red border fabric... beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ramona. Ice is almost all gone here, now it's raining .... The dark red is my favorite, too, but I've got other projects ahead of giving it a try.
DeleteYou are an artist! You MUST have materials to work with! LOL Great fabric selections!
ReplyDeleteDon't feel too bad about your additions. Your numbers are still pretty good for this month. I know you will be using it quickly.
