September Fabric Usage

Though it's true I've brought in quite a bit of new fabric lately, it's also true that I continue to find and use stashed fabric that is perfect for a particular project at hand. Such as a recently gifted Divided Drawstring Bag and a new project I haven't even shared yet. And I was reminded that you need to acquire fabric to have fabric to grab from stash, and as long as I'm consistently using what I have, I think I'm ok with the additions. Plus, most of this month's purchases had intended uses, so that's fun too.

September's first intake was a few Sardine Pillow fabric options, of which I used the top two, paired with some stash finds.

This guy was made and gifted in the same week, so fabric in, fabric out!

Next, I needed a bit more of the Crossweaves Pink + Starry Witchy for my Bright Side Boo quilt. While I was at it, I nabbed a pair of prints that I'd been curious about - RSS Geometry Ladders & Hump Day in Turmeric. They did not disappoint, and I'm happy to have them in my stash for another day.

Next was a freebie. With my pre-order of Rashida Coleman-Hale's @iamrashidacolemanhale new book, ZakkaSewn, she sent a fat-quarter of one of her prints. 

And then this was a splurge.... a stack of Kona solids for October's Block Studies Collective prompt. Yep, I signed up for another season, and though some months I'll work from stash, I just wanted to start off with one of Tara's @tarafaughnan original palettes. I have a few other stashed solids that have since been added to round out her palette, which you'll see in an upcoming post.

So there we go!
