It’s been a long time since I’ve done a Sunday Stash, but yesterday I taught an Improvisational Strip Piecing Workshop at Island Quilter on Vashon and they were having a sale!
So I rounded out my Erin McMorris Park Slope collection. I don’t know what it is about this line or what the hell I’m going to make with it, but I love it.
My friend/student Suzie juiced up her Martha Negley collection. I had to resist the feathers.
Their Kaffe Fasset collection and Kaffe Club are massive and I’ve been using a load of the shot cottons they have in stock.
It’s fun to see the full range of the colorways all together, and it keeps going around the corner. If you are around in October, Kaffe Fasset will be at Island Quilter for a workshop and lecture.
The space is so light and bright and they are so accommodating and hospitable that it is a joy to teach and sew there.
We’ve got a Value Class scheduled there next, but I’m also super excited about the Stitch and Flip Triangle Workshop and mostly because of this beauty.
I passed through West Seattle on my way home from the ferry and picked up my Seattle Star from my long arm quilter friend Krista. Can’t wait to get this bound and some photos up!
Off to work, happy Sunday!

::Improvisational Coin Quilt:: $85 Thursdays, September 20th and 27th from 6-9pm at the Quilting Loft in Ballard.
No two will be the same. Learn improvisational techniques like angle piecing and strip piecing while creating a modern coin quilt loosely based on a tradition Chinese Coin Quilt Design. A great quilt to feature your favorite prints. All levels of sewists welcome.
I would just sit on the floor and stare at that Kaffe collection! That is an amazing scene. I don’t have any of his fabrics but will someday. Just to look at it. Wow. Her store looks amazing. Would love to visit it someday.
you won’t be disappointed.
Ooooooh…. just LOOK at all the Kaffe… a little corner of heaven… now if I could only afford just a little bit of each… Daren’t try and work out how much that would come to!! lol! Just beautiful to look at though. With all the lovely fabric I am not surprised you did not get away empty handed!
like a buffet, take a little of each!
ok… let’s just have a look…. around 18 bolts in each section, Altogether 52 sections (taking in the shotcottons too, of which, of course, you need some as well…) that’s 936 bolts. Say at $4 a FQ that’d be 936 FQ’s = $3744. Of course some yardage for backing and binding too… Shall we say $4000? And just like a buffet, it will be difficult to not try out just about everything 🙂
One day, when I win the lottery 🙂 In the meantime, thank you for posting those yummy photos allowing us to dream about it !!
ha ha, one of the great things about Island Quilter is all fabric is only $9.99/yard…buy away.
I’ve yet to make it to Vashon Island. Too chicken to go. I might need a ferry just for my fabric! Can’t wait until the coin quilt class!
*sigh* that looks like such an awesome shop, and a fab class!
Always wonderful to add to your stash (or mine). Looks like another great class!
Finally got my Swirling Medallion up on the wall ~ I’m adding to it and loving it more as I go!
Those fabrics are sooooo yummy!
Love the triangles and the quilting that highlights them
Your photos take me back to the amazing day we all had at Island Quilter in August! I picked up some Erin McMorris Wildwood that day after I won a gift certificate. What an amazing store!
