Sunday Stash Share

3/9/2014

 
Picture
A quick stash share of what I've bough lately for a specific project (as opposed to what I've bought lately just because I absolutely *had to have it* and will now hoard for months before I so much as cut the selvege off ; )

Above: Trenna Travis' Bekko Swirl in Coral and Dena Fishbein's Taza Medallion in Red for the reversible apron (Jamie Christina's Cupcake Apron) that I'm making as part of my 30/30 Sewing Challenge goals.

Below: Gina Martin's Sewing Box Notions & Snaps in Multi for one side of my reversible sewing machine cover. Still haven't decided on what the other side will be., but this will be my last project for the 3030SC, so I have a week or two to decide.

Below: Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton in Bright Pink, Carnation, Primrose, Water, Candy Green, and Robin's Egg to coordinate with the Wee Wander quilts I'm making. I shopped for these at Pink Chalk Fabrics - they occasionally write handy "What Goes with What" posts and this one was very helpful for choosing a few colors to match Sarah Jane's adorable prints.

This week's Sunday Stash (and a giveaway!) is being       guest hosted by Alisa at A Stitch in Between.
I'm linking up. If you have some gorgeous new fabric or notions (or maybe even a new machine??), you should, too!

Oh, YES! Those are the perfect fabrics for that cupcake apron. Yummy! And your machine will be stylin' also with those sewing novelty prints. Of course that Wee Wander is to die for. Love the addition of the solids. They are such a wonderful compliment to those prints! Nice finds, Sarah!

Thanks, Lorna! I usually shy away from red, but the color is perfect for the kitchen - warm and lusty and sure to hide the tomato sauce that will almost certainly stain it at some point ; ) And I'm so glad I got the solids - I have been slow to warm to Konas, but for the busy imaginative prints, I definitely needed some basics to break it up for the eye.

I love Pink Chalk Fabrics "What goes with What" it is so helpful and it looks like it worked.

Me, too, Mara! Pink Chalk has been my go to shop lately other than for precuts. And even though I have a Kona color card, sometimes it's hard to be sure next to that tiny swatch, so the coordinate post was really helpful!

I just ordered me some wee wander! Can't wait. Those solids look fabulous. They certainly did match them up perfectly. Your apron is going to be too cute for words:)

I hope you love it! My girls were rolling around giggling in the fabric when I opened my box of it : P

I can't wait to see your Wee Wander quilt! I've been meaning to order some of that, but I haven't gotten around to it. I know you'll inspire me to though!

I picked an easy pattern for them, Daisy, but then I spent the entire weekend working on one trying to randomize the strips just right. I think I'll be doing a mirror image for the second and save myself the brain work. Hopefully I'll have pics up in about two weeks (because I already booked longarm time and I have to have them done by then : ) Even if you're not into the whimsical prints part of the line, the feathers are a must stash!

Buying fabrics for a specific project? What a novel idea! :) And ooh are you going to add petticoat under the apron? Thank you for linking up your Sunday Stash with me this week!

I know, right? I've been a little out of control with the stashing lately, though, so I think it may be project-based shopping from here on out in 2014, Alisa ; ) I'm not doing the petticoat - I'm way too jeans-and-a-tee for that, but I'm going to make a second as a Christmas gift for for my SIL who is much girlier, and I plan to add netting to hers!
