Fabric Stash Sunday + Morris Island Lighthouse

5 Replies

Well it’s no longer Sunday…where did Sunday and Monday go??? Anyway, I have some great fabric arrive the last two weeks.

Firstly, is my new Kaffe Fassett fabric, a mix of stripes and solids weaves which I have never owned before. I already have a project for these. I want to do something similar to Adrianne’s Cross quilt using the cross pattern in the book Simply Retro (page 17, which you can see on amazon). Purchased from Hawthorne Threads.

And finally my Heather Ross pre-order arrived….and I love it. Briar Rose reminds me of this wonderful little dress I had when I was 5 which was blue with red or pink strawberries hence = LOVE. And yes I bought extra yardage, of the pink, green strawberries and the white + red strawberries.RossBundle_Stash

Besides the stash photos this week, our last stop in Charleston, SC was Morris Island Lighthouse and Folly Beach. I loved the drift wood at Morris Island Lighthouse beach and it was so cool to see a lighthouse surrounded by water…even though it was a little far away to get a good photo.

We went round the corner to Folly beach which was at high tide…now, I could see myself in that cool mint colored beach house. Look at that roof deck.FollyBeach

This week’s featured bundles were bought from the Fat Quarter Shop – an online store based here in the US but they do ship internationally. I love how their fat quarter bundles are packaged – they make them look so pretty, very hard to break them open and use the fabrics.

Anyway, I hadn’t really bought anything from the fat quarter shop in a while. I think the last purchases were Oh Deer! Moda Jelly Roll and this fat quarter bundle, which I finally opened to take these photo’s…

The fat quarter shop sent me an email coupon giving a percentage off since I hadn’t visited in a while. This is what I bought this time around.

This set of bundles I am thinking of using for the Tula Pink City Sampler Quilt along that is going on, over at flickr.IMG_7772

Technicolor Fat Quarter Bundle by Emily Herrick for Michael Miller Fabrics
This has been one of my favorite lines. There is not one print I dislike and the colors a phenomenal. IMG_7780

Indian Summer (both bundles) by Sarah Watson for Art Gallery Fabrics
I have been eyeing this for a while and can see many uses especially some of the low-volume prints. I like how subtle the colors of this line is but still very graphic/artistic.IMG_7770

Weekend Finishes {06.17.2013}

This weekend, I had some projects I needed to catch up on, one being a birthday gift for a friend. It took me a while to decide what I would make, I had one hundred and one ideas. I finally decided on making my first coin purse. After a false start (which we won’t talk of), I finally finished my little gift mid-day on Sunday and dropped it off an hour later (with instructions it still needed to dry for 8 hours). A little close I know 😉

Details: Coin Purse
Design: Michelle Wilkie (Squeek Crafts – that’s me)
Silver Frame + Glue: While Baby Naps (Etsy Store, glue can only be sent within the US)
Outside Fabric: Carnaby Street  – 60’s Waves Midnight (Purchased from: Moona Fabrics – Etsy)
