sunday stash..wk31

i'm home!!
this week's report includes my visit to the la fabric district... eek!
& i've been busy unpacking... and cleaning {inspired by vanessa's post }
so not too much sewing yet... but i'll get back in the swing of things!


IN


one yard of brown kona crush for this quilt...


2.5 yards of castle peeps!
{i forgot to take a photo before cutting it all up!}
stay tuned for castle peeps summer camp!


2.5 yards of anna maria horner's stacked print

3 yards total of echino prints

this one is coated!


10.5 yards of neptune



3 yards of kona chartreuse to go with 3 remix charm packs
for karrielyne's charm pack quilt a long
{ remix charm packs will be available in shops in sept! }

and lots & lots of pure charm packs arrived
for the philadelphia modern quilt guild's project pure!
{ so they aren't counted in the stash report }
{ once everyone in the guild signs up... i'll list the rest of them for sale in the shop! }


OUT

1.94 in kona chartreuse cut for charm pack quilt a long
 1.3yards in remix charms

karrielyne tells you to draw a line... and sew 1/4" away on either side...
and i do that sometimes... but i also use this ruler..
it's 1/2" wide... & you line up the center line on the points of your square...
draw on either side.. and then sew directly on those lines!

i got all my half square triangles done last night...
now i need to press & trim them!
the green is going to make for one very bright quilt!!!


and.. nothing in or out for my bee blocks.. but the last of them arrived!!
so now i can get started on cutting sashing & putting it all together!



so this week
24.84 in
3.24 out


YTD totals
purchased: 524.03 yds
busted: 352.19 yds
net: -171.84 yds

You are KILLING me with the Remix charms. I can't find them ANYWHERE on the Interwebs! Do you have a source?

Yummy! Can't wait to see that green...the only thing better than grey is "the other g-word"
GREEN!

I can only wish and dream to have a stash like yours!

Sandy said...

I love my little ruler like that for HSTs....I only use that every time!

Christine said...

So super productive- but would we really expect anything less? heheh!

What is that ruler called and where can I get one?! I need one of those!

I can't wait to see all that Neptuney goodness put together :)

KarrieLyne said...

*squeaks* You're remix quilt is gonna be super cute! I really love that green!

Is that a hose holding down your quilt? LOL! Don't you just love how the wind cooperates sometimes? ;)

Now I know what to do with those 1/2" rulers. I just ran to JoAnn's & got one - Thanks - that makes all of these HST so much easier.

Can't wait to see your Neptune quilt come together.

mascanlon said...

Don't know what I want to snatch more...the remix or the anna maria horner...wouldn't even think of the Neptune, I know you'd chase me like mad! (Good week, nothing in...or out but maybe a quilt top next week if I finish the darn pieced border today)

Sherri said...

Great fabrics...I really want to start keeping track of the ins and outs of my stash...so question...does it count as "Out" if you finish a quilt top...even if you're going to keep it for yourself?

Mishka said...

I've been doing the same thing with my 1/2 square triangles, using a 1/2" ruler and sewing on the line, instead of sewing 1/4" away from a line in the middle. I'm much, much happier with the results.

Becky (My Fabric Obsession) said...

Oh such beautiful stuff! I do hope you decide to sell some of that Neptune! ;)

This stash report was not nearly what I expected it to be! Brainstorming on what to do with that beautiful set of Pure.

Tricia said...

Wow! 10.5 yards of Neptune. I can't wait to see what you do with it! I love that little ruler...with the amount of HSTs I'll be sewing soon I am definitely getting one.

I have that awesome little half inch ruler and use it the exact same way! Gotta love a little tool that can make a job a LOT easier!

And the fabric? YUM!
