::Sunday Stash 8/Henna Garden

March 22, 2009 By Katie

dsc_0082Sandy Henderson’s Farmer’s Market Henna Garden.

I was able to use the red of this line in my first block for the Cottage Quilting Bee.  It wasn’t something I would have picked up in the store.  I fell in love with it, and as you can see a bit of it made it into my stash.

I’m going to try to stick with Sunday Stash as my reminder that I really don’t need anymore fabric, and that there will always be something out there that I must have.

I’m sure everyone in the world, but me, has know about The Fabric Shopper.

Our relationship via RSS injection was short lived.

It started with Quilting Arts having their “Luck of the Irish 50% off Sale.  Hey, I’m Irish, and I “needed” some solids for an upcoming wedding quilt…

Then, today I spot Alexander Henry’s April Showers line on one of the sites showcased.  I’ve seen it in town and it has that nice feel, you know, like Heather Ross’ somewhat, and the graphics are to die for.

I all a sudden think I “need” it.

So I cut the line.  I’m “unsubscribed.”  I don’t need ANY influence when it comes to buying fabric.  I admit it, I’m fully addicted.  I do ocationally lapse and stop in for the fabulous giveaway information.

Plus, it takes up time I really could be sewing, or hanging out with my kid, who seems particularly needy right now.

So I’m trying to remember to:

…and I picked up some fabric from my stash to make a receiving blanket, because there’s a new baby on the planet!  This Moda flannel is a favorite, and I always oh and ah over the cozability of it.  It truly is baby soft.  The mushrooms are surprisingly from Joanns.  The picture does no justice.  I wanted this blanket for myself.

Hope you’re having a good Sunday!

    Oh, I love those cute cuddly flannels, and the Sandy Henderson prints. You have great taste in fabric.

    I’m going to do Sunday stash for a few weeks too, I’m on a fabric diet for quite a while, but have some lovley prints I’d like to share. I don’t subscribe to any fabric shops, because it gets too depressing to see all the fabric I can’t afford 🙁

    Oh how I wish I had a Joann’s around me. Their flannel selections is wonderful. I guess I will just have to swoon over everyone else’s in blogland. 🙂

    joanns has been surprising me lately! They carry quite a few A. Henry fabrics, I found a Michael Miller fq pack with thier other ‘novelty bundles’ and today I saw at least 6 different RobertKaufman fabrics in their ‘novelty’ section.

    Sorry that I converted you over the the side of those Henna Garden prints 🙂

    I have the pink (obviously) and the orange and yellow, but my store does not carry the blue I will keep searching though.
