July Fabric Usage

Well, I knew even as June was closing that my fabric intake this month would be notable. Good news/bad news, my pre-ordered fat-quarter bundle of Carolyn Friedlander's new line, Memento, has yet to arrive, so that made this month a bit less monumental than expected.

But what did arrive was a necessary solid restock - mostly neutrals and blues - a lot of what has already been put to use. That said, there are other colorways in my stash that are woefully lacking, and I've been thinking that a monthly restock of a color or two at a time might be in order. We'll see.


Meanwhile, I already shared about the Tula Pink scraps I nabbed from the free table at the last guild meeting, so that was an unexpected, but welcome, addition. I'm looking forward to working with those before too long.



So that all totaled 15 yards coming in, but with all the fabric I used making Tangled Strings, Stackables, and my current scrappy quilt; bee and BOM blocks, and a trio of Maple Street pouches, the numbers didn't come out too bad. Not bad at all.
