I’m Destashing and clearing out EVERYTHING. I have three categories: Goodwill, Destash, or Class. The rest is reorganized. I’m being brutal. If it hasn’t been touched in a year it goes.
Some fabrics I’ve just been hoarding. I grab them up when I see them online and now I couldn’t possibly use it all. Some fabrics have that power over me. So I’m letting a little under a yard of this favorite go. It’s Alexander Henry’s Whisper Wing or Whispering Wing.
I’ll save what I have for the perfect quilt back. I last used some in this simple half square triangle quilt made for little Sofia.
I made my Mom a traditional quilt with some of this fabric in the brown color way that was based off a butterfly quilt she made for me years ago. I’m visiting my friend with a mid-arm quilting machine next week to check out some quilting possibilities. Mom will want something flowing. Her birthday’s in May, so time is still on my side.
Happy Sunday!
I know what you mean about snatching up bits of fabric lines you ‘ve loved and are afraid you’ll never get a chance at that price again. I do love the fabric you’re showing though, and I’ve never seen it before. Good luck with your destash.
I need to do this too. Some fabrics I thought I loved, just don’t do it for me anymore. They need to find a new home.
Love your butterfyl fabric. That would be hard to part with . . . see I’m not help! hehe
Hi Katie…I just found your blog and after scrolling through it and seeing all of your beautiful pictures (and fabrics) I decided I needed a little online retail therapy….so…IF I had not come to your blog and IF I had not seen your wonderful pics and your great fabric…I would STILL have money in my checking account!!! Now I’ll be on pins and needles waiting for my fabric to come in the mail…so thanks! I think! xo, Nan PS: I’m a Seattle gal, too!
I’m a huge Alexander Henry fan – such unique designs. And those butterflies – love. I almost never think to use browns but I always like them when I see them – love that sashing.
Katie,
I am loving your quilts! Such unique and fun ideas! If you’re really considering giving fabric to good will, would you consider sending it to a new quilter with a tiny fabric stash instead? Let me know!
