Solid Stash Additions

I have been trying really hard lately to reduce my stash.  I still occasionally buy pieces from new collections but I am definitely more selective about what I purchase.  But there is one type of fabric that I really like to have on hand.  And those are solids!

I have been considering for quite some time to join one of those monthly solid stash clubs.  But many of them are fat quarters and I wanted something in bigger cuts.

So when I won a free trial of a monthly Kona half yard club at Canton Village Quiltworks, I was over the moon and anxious to give it a try.  (Thank you Rachel at Stitched in Color for the giveaway!)  These pretty pinks and purples are what I received in February.  I decided to go ahead and try it out for six months and see how I like it.

Just this week I received my shipment for March.  I was a little disappointed it was just greens but not enough for me to give up on the club.  The price is definitely right and it does include shipping.

I haven't felt the need to cut into any of these yet.  For now I am enjoying their pretty colors up on the shelf as I finish off some other projects.

Have you tried a stash club yet?  If so, how did you like it?

Some Wonderful Fabric Additions

Boy, have I been on a solids buying spree!  It all started with this simple but wonderful fat quarter bundle I won as part of the American Made Brand Blog Tour from artist Terri Stegmiller.

 Any time I get my paws on a new bundle of fabric, design ideas start swirling in my head and with this bundle, I instantly envisioned a pattern using only solids.  At the time, I had too many things on my plate but the idea has continued to fill my mind.

Then I found out I won a solid fat quarter bundle from Marmalade Fabrics for participating at the Purge Along with Rachel over at Stitched in Color (If you don't follow her blog already, you should!).  I chose the bundle with these lovely greens.  And thanks Marmalade for putting a color label on them!

I took that win as an omen that I should move the project up on the list.  So to add to the pile, I did a little late night shopping and picked up some 1 yard cuts of some of the newest Kona colors.  I kind of figured I would stop there.

 But oh no....The Fat Quarter Shop had that 20% off sale.  Look what came in the mail yesterday.

So that is it...I am done for a bit.

Really....

I also want to share this Arizona fat quarter bundle and Aurifil thread I won from Katie over at Good Golly Ginger (another great blog). She also gave me her Sand Drift pattern (very lovely!).  I love this fabric line and cannot wait to make something from it.  But I have to get a few other projects finished before I will allow myself to play with these.

Wasn't I supposed to be purging my fabric stash this year!?!
