Molli Sparkles was busy getting into the groove with Madonna this weekend so I'm happily hosting Sunday Stash. I have a few stash additions to share and will be giving away a fabulous fat quarter bundle thanks to Fat Quarter Shop!
Recently I ordered glue pen refills from Simply Solids. There is panic when I'm low on both those and the Styla pens, I like having back ups! They don't make for a great photo but it's okay because I couldn't resist some lovely fabric too:
top to bottom: Stitches in Petunia, Carkai by Carolyn Friedlander; Ladder Lines in Sage, Doe by Carolyn Friedlander; Tiny Crosses in Winter Sage, Tucker Prairie by One Canoe Two; Dusk Weave, Bright Sun by Sherri & Chelsi; Shibuya Rust, Tokyo Train Ride by Sarah Watts and Don't Fence Me In in Teal, The Highlands by Violet Craft - this is a gorgeous blender print!
I adored Pearl Bracelets and so the Mini Pearl Bracelets were a must for me, I was in a subtle mood when I got these two from The Village Haberdashery:
I got 2 metres of The Big One in Pepper, Carkai by Carolyn Friedlander from Patchfinders. I have plans for this! Any left overs will find their way into many other projects, this is a great neutral modern print.
I also got my third month of the Patchwork of the Crosses Quilt BOM from Sew and Quilt and Jessie nailed it again, such beautiful fabrics! I can't resist Liberty, it's so classic and pretty.
I have lots to be getting on with.
If you would like some pretty fabric to play with you're in luck because Fat Quarter Shop are kindly giving away this Essentials II by Pat Bravo Fat Quarter Bundle - 18 fat quarters!

Good Luck!
Now I'm looking forward to seeing your stash! Link your posts / photos below and go and peek at some of the other links while you're here :)
My two "musts" are decent thread (aurifil, king tut) and my Husky sewing machine. I am not that fussy about fabric, using everything from Art Gallery to Liberty.....oh, maybe I am fussy! Actually I will use any fabric I can lay my hands on, including that in the giveaway. Thanks for the chance. Tarnia.hodges at gmail.com
ReplyDeleteMy too musts haves are fabric and coffee! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy two absolute must haves in life are lip salve and EPP. Thank you for a great giveaway.x

ReplyDeleteMy two must haves are my 2.5 x 6 ruler and rotary cutter. I use that little ruler to measure a lot of small projects.

Making things and coffee. Oh, i probably should have included my husband in there!
ReplyDeleteChocolate is vital and I love scissors.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Wendy... a good hubby, one who cooks, cleans and doesnt mind thread and fabric all over the house!
Wine and Melody Miller fabric - thanks
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fabrics you added to your stash and I am waiting to see you starting the BOM!
ReplyDeleteI do not really have essentials at the moment I need to have - not sewing related not in my handbag - but I would say coins for the parking machines in my car and pen and paper in my handbag for bored kids is the most important stuff at the moment
Those fabrics are awesome. My two quilting essentials are: rotary cutter and wonderclips.
ReplyDeleteMy essentials are good fabric and a good book! X
ReplyDeleteHaha I have young kids so coffee and sleep. I'm a simple woman
ReplyDeleteTea and my kindle!
ReplyDeleteMy essentials would include: fabric, tea, and my iPad.
ReplyDeleteI shared on IG via @winkowl
ReplyDeleteI should probably say my two essentials are my boys. But that's sappy and boring, so I'll go with pretty fabric and anything caffeinated!
ReplyDeleteMy 2 essentials are Fabric & Thread.
ReplyDeleteMy essentials are good thread, baby wipes (clean everything) and snacks - I am grouchy when hungry! 18 fat quarters - great giveaway

ReplyDeleteNarrowing down my essentials isn't an easy task! But since I must, I'd say it's having some time alone to sew, read, play Words With Friends, or walk...the second would be a daily dose of chocolate! I'm not a happy camper without a little bit of each every day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun question! I think my two essentials are my husband and chapstick - although neither of those are for sewing!!! ;)

My two must haves are a decent amount of fabric stash--not too much or it's overwhelming but just enough that I need to go out and buy some new fabric more to fill in; and my children and grandchildren as they give me the reasons why I keep creating.
