Brace yourselves. Worse than October, I brought in A LOT of fabric last month....
First a stack destined for Christmas gift-giving bags + a solid needed for Block Studies Collective this month + that top black and white stripe, which was stash-necessary, and I'd used it up on those black and orange potholders.
Knowing December would be busy, I treated myself to the Tara Faughnan-curated bundle for BSC. I committed to that a couple of months ago, so what can I say?
And then, after rummaging through stash for what I wanted/needed for the upcoming Merry Mix Advent quilt along, I placed an order for several more solids. One downfall of normally purchasing half-yard cuts is that you don't have enough to really do a project such as this. Hubby and I actually worked together to choose colors for this quilt, so at least I'll be making something that coordinates with our other holiday decor and that we'll both appreciate. In fact, there were two of the lighter teals here (pictured below), so we could see which we liked best, so the other will go into the stash. And then that aqua star print was a bonus, since I'm liking that print so much.
So yeah, that's a lot. I feel better knowing it all was (mostly) purchased for a specific project, but still. Hoping December is spent just using it up!

It is so hard not to add to my stash at this time of year. Too many sales!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? I resisted once I had what I needed for these projects.
DeleteOh, fun fabrics! I love that b/w stripe fabric. I had some and used it quickly. I'm itching to pull the December fabrics, but need to get some Christmas sewing done first!
ReplyDeleteThe aqua star print is delightful. I look forward to seeing these fabrics be put to beautiful use. :)
