I have been doing pretty well using my stash more often. The past week or so, I have made some purchases.
Did you know Lotta Jansdotter now has fabrics at JoAnn’s?? She does… and I loved them. They are a little expensive without coupons (@ $13 a yard), but luckily they were on sale (@ $9 a yard) + I had a 40% off coupon, so they worked out to be around $5.50 a yard. My favorite is that oar print on the left…it was also end of bolt so I landed up with just over 2 yards of that print.
I have been doing some new designs that need to have a brown but I could not work out which Kona would work. I had chocolate and earth but did not like those two with the other colors. I landed up buying most of the others from Fat Quarter Shop. I have immediate plans for the espresso!!
Lastly, I decided to pick up some prints from Sew Lux Fabrics, and a few books from Amazon. These were a great welcome home from my business trip yesterday. On my way to the airport and while reading my new Dwell magazine, inspiration hit. So on the plane yesterday, I decided to do some sketches, making sure I did not forget what I was playing around with in my head.
That’s it for this week. Linking up with Molli Sparkles for Sunday Stash (see button on the right).
The espresso is a beautiful and rich shade of brown. And how cool to find the Lotta Jansdotter prints at JoAnn’s, that was an amazing catch by Cheryl @Meadow Mist Designs, and it sounds like you really worked some coupons to your advantage! I find that travelling can really free up time for creativity and design in a different way, and I am excited you doodled out your ideas.
Last time I was at Joann’s I saw Lotta’s new fabrics there! I would have brought some home had the kids not been with me and I’d promised only two items. Next time, with coupons! That pile of browns is so pretty!
I always love seeing your choice of fabrics. Lotta at Joann”s sounds like a winner!
The lotta fabrics were great!!
Lotta Jansdotter fabrics have always been my favorite. Good stash choice!
I got some Lotta at JoAnn’s too, I was so excited!
