The Stash

I have decided that I should have a special entry about the stash. I am going to be labeling everything that I make using the stash. That is, projects that are primarily created with existing materials, with the addition of small things like notions, etc. Part of my belief in the stash system is that if I love it I will eventually find just the right thing to make with it. Case in point would be the Little Something Quilt. Made using a fat quarter, some yardage of the natural cotton that I always keep in supply, a scrap of batting from another quilt project and embroidery floss that I had on hand. This is most of the stash, the favored choices of the stash anyway. To the far right are the costuming fabrics, the rest are cottons mostly intended for quilts. I am a huge fan of Amy Butler, more than half of the prints are hers. Point of interest: I love flowers, stripes, polka dots and birds. Take a closer look and you will see what I mean! And just a side note, I showed this to my husband and he clearly thinks I'm out of control (which he isn't totally wrong about!), but when I look at this, it seems a little sad. I better get sewing so I can use stuff up and restock!
