Sunday Stash #5

One of the things I like about a monthly fabric club is that I forget about it and am surprised when I receive the package in the mail. June’s offering for the Pink Chalk Fabric solids club was Sea Gem Studio and consisted of Moda Bella solids in teals and blues. My favorite is “Night Sky,” the darkest blue in the pack.

Sunday Stash #4

For my birthday, I received this fat eighth bundle of Free Spirit solids in blues and neutrals. It’s from my favorite quilt store. I’m not sure what I’ll do with it yet. I’m feeling an all-solids quilt coming on…

Sunday Stash #3

One of the reasons I love Pink Chalk Fabrics’ solids club so much is that it is a fun source of inspiration. Before receiving the May Pocket Full of Posies package, I had never thought of making a purple and gray quilt. I’ve made a blue, gray and purple quilt, but would have never thought of using just purple and gray. Now I really want to make one in that colorway! The gray Sherbet Pips fabric that I stashed previously would work well. Now I just need to find a pattern.

Sunday Stash #2

Somebody over at Pink Chalk Studios has a great eye for color. I was browsing their site, looking for yardage for Christmas presents, and stumbled across the Solids Club stack for April. I absolutely love the jewel tones they picked! I broke down and subscribed to the club going forward, since I keep buying each month’s stack anyways. My stash box is full though, so no more stash purchases for awhile.

Sunday Stash #1

In general, I don’t buy fabric without a specific purpose in mind. Usually I build my stash by buying more fabric than I need for a project. If a pattern calls for ¾ of a yard, I will buy a whole yard and use the extra in another project. I will also buy a fat quarter here and there. However, recently I bought fabric from Pink Chalk Fabrics with no project in mind whatsoever. I’m drawn to their monthly solids club, but haven’t signed up yet. Then I saw last month’s offering was a set of gorgeous green fabrics. My favorite color is blue, but I work with green frequently as it is the favorite color of several family members and friends. You can order their monthly pack even if you aren’t in the club. While I was on their site, I checked out the Sherbet Pips line. It’s not really my style, but I have been admiring it. I decided that the grey and blue square fabrics would be nice to have on hand. I love grey, but rarely buy grey fabric. Then I checked out their selection of blue fabric and decided to order some of the Kona Deep Blue, just because. It looked a little navy online, but I was so happy when it arrived. It is my blue! It seems that most of the blue fabric coming out right now is light blue or aqua. It’s hard to find the darker, richer shade of blue that I prefer, but now I’ve found it.
