Sunday Stash


pam kitty stacker

Okay, so I went a little crazy. A couple of weeks ago, when Pam Kitty Picnic was released, I decided that buying the fat quarter bundle wasn't economical because I might've gotten stuck with 2 or 3 prints that I didn't need, so why pay for those, right? So in a deranged state of mind--with a coupon in hand--I decided instead to buy half-yards of only the ones I had to have.

At first I tried to play it cool--and just added these to my "had to have" e-cart...

...I think these are the cutest text fabrics I've ever seen. I need at least 10 more yards of it.

But anyway, then I started thinking, "I never have enough green" and "this pink is perfect" and "really, who expects me to live without these polka dots?" and "what's life if I can't have these florals?". I was giving my husband paranoid sideways glances while I continued to add and add to my cart while he had his face glued to the television.

I got to the point where I had one eye closed so I couldn't see the side of the computer where the total was being calculated; but still I had to ask myself, "what if I wanted to make a patriotic quilt one day?"  It would be impossible without these...

Anyway, when it was all said and done, I had purchased 30 (yes, I said 30) half-yards of Pam Kitty Picnic (and I didn't know that number until I just counted them for this post)! I get a stomach-ache just thinking about it. So I'm going to tell my husband that this is my Christmas present and I don't want anything else, but I hope he doesn't take me seriously ;)

Also, if ANYONE is interested,  I bought a bunch of extra copies of some crafty UK magazines and am doing a little giveaway. I think it's going to win the world record for being the giveaway with the highest odds of winning because there's only 6 people that have entered, and one of them is my friend Joe who just entered to be nice.

So, if you're interested (and like great odds) click here. Or on the picture of the magazine.

I was so excited to get started and I've already made my first block to make sure I could still piece my own pattern. This block is 16 1/2" square!

And I am working on the rest of my center blocks...

It's so exciting, because I've waited since June for this fabric to arrive. It's really such a soft, light cotton, I think it's going to make such a comfortable quilt.

This week I also received my very first bolt of fabric. I was tired of always running out of white fabric, so I took the plunge and bought a whole bolt of Moda Bleached White. It makes me feel like I'm almost a professional.

If you order 15 yards or more from Fat Quarter Shop you get 20% off, so really I SAVED money...but that didn't stop my husband from giving me the "MORE FABRIC!!!?" look.

Hope everyone has a great week!
