stay home stashing
Grab a cuppa and hide your bank cards! This post is full of goodies amassed over the past few months, the majority of it is for specific projects and some were bought from necessity. There's some nice treats and 'just for fun' here too. I like to keep a record to refer back to (I can't tell you how often I have done that over the years) and also to remind myself what I bought things for. If you're not interested in my shopping habits, that's totally cool and you can check back next time for finished projects.
Most of this lot is for an ambitious project so you may not see the results for some time but bits of these fabrics have already been cut up so no doubt you will see those sooner.
First up, a lovely bundle from one of my favourite shops Sew Hot. I splurged here but all with a purpose!
I'm building up a collection of black and white prints, I also needed some greys for a specific quilt I've designed and I like neutrals with a touch of metallic in them. Originally this seemed like such an 80's thing, reminiscent of Christmas fabrics with scratchy metallic/glitter but modern metallic prints generally feel lovely and the sparkle adds a bit more dimension.
wonderful stashing and a discount code
It's been a great week for my stash all because of one very lovely blogger; Jamie of Busy Bee Quilts sent me the most amazing parcel of repro 30s fabric for my Green Tea and Sweet Beans quilt. I nearly screamed when I opened it and saw all the gorgeousness! She's really spoilt me and they will all be so perfect.
These are seriously stunning!

And I couldn't help but pick out my top five just because!! I mean look at how adorable they are!
I know this bottom pink one is Jamie's favourite print too, which makes it even nicer of her to share it with me. I am really so grateful Jamie, thank you! :)
My only buy was some cute stationery from Hema (I did also get some nice Christmas stocking fillers for the kids. They have really fun toys and I couldn't resist but I didn't take any pictures in case the kids saw them on my phone!). These stickers are such great colours:
I've been working on a couple more little zip bags and I certainly need to stock up on zips, I like to have a variety of colours to hand. I bought some this summer from a lovely Ebay seller who has now opened an online shop and is kindly sharing a discount code with my readers to celebrate!
Rickety Rose stocks zips, bias binding, ric ric, pom pom trim, buttons, felt and lots of other fun haberdashery! Prices are really reasonable, with zips between 50-65p (lots of lengths and colours) and quantity discounts too, so if you find you use a lot of one colour this would be the perfect place to stock up. She posts worldwide and postage rates are priced well too.
There's a lot of useful haberdashery products so check out Rickety Rose and use the code WELCOME to get 10% off your first order.
You're welcome! :)
