June Fabric Usage

June felt a little less sluggish than the previous couple of months, which felt good. I managed to finish up a few projects and cut fabric for a new one.... i.e. it felt like things were moving along at a good pace for both creating and using fabric from stash. BUT there was plenty of fabric that came in too.

Anticipating participating in the MQG Windham Artisan Cotton 2024 Fabric Challenge, I purchased a variety of the Artisan Cotton crossweave fabrics, shown below with a length of Marcia Derse's red Spotted Graffiti in Thimbleberry, chosen for another specific upcoming project. The challenge palette was chosen by Jacquie Gering, the featured lecturer for QuiltCon 2024.


To finish my Duality quilt, I needed a bit more of the Cotton Couture Acid, and while I was at it, I grabbed just a bit of Camp Stripe in Multi for a giftbag idea I want to try.

Lastly, there's a little secret sewing I need to do in the coming weeks where Anna Maria Horner fabric is ideal. Since I didn't have any stashed, I bought a charm pack and half yard from her Brave line.


So yeah, the ole stash got supplemented a bit, but it was all for very specific projects, which I'm feeling ok about. The numbers are still heading in the right direction, which is the whole goal anyway.
