I have been going shopping for some new fabrics lately. I had a real shortage of yellows, oranges and purples. It's usually hard to find them that I like. So, my Mom and I have both been shopping several times. Here are the pictures of my new fabrics.
I love them!!!

Don't you just love buying stash? We can't wait to see what you make from them!

MamaBear61 05-26-2010 07:05 PM

Pretty, looks like you have had some successful shopping trips.

Very pretty!!

Thank you! As for what I'm going to make. Well, the fabrics in the first picture (at least some of them) are going to be used in another Bargello for my daughter April. She wants me to design hers though, not make a Swish! She had picked out colors before but they were all dark. I figured I would get some lights in her colors to go in the Bargello, If she liked any of them. (She liked them all.)
I need a break from the bargello right now though, but I will be making it in the near future.

A lot of them are just yellows, oranges and purples that I don't have many of. I try to buy those colors when I see them IF I like them. Then there are the marbled blenders. I need those alot and these are either colors I'm almost out of, or colors I liked and didn't have. The rest was just too pretty not to buy. It will just build up my stash.

I counted them and there are 50 new pieces! That is way too many, as I didn't really need all of it. I am grounded now.
(Self-imposed.) But, I got an email from the quilt shop tonight. (Yeah, the one in Humboldt, where they are going to buy 6 of my patterns to start with, to sell in their store, if you hadn't heard.) Anyways, I have to take the patterns up there.

So, I get this email tonight saying "Memorial Day Sale", Saturday, 25% off all material, including the new stuff,
Magazines 25 to 50% off, and an extra 10% off all sale merchandise. I will probably need to deliver the patterns on Sat. (They had this beautiful 'true' red Moda textured fabric that I really want, and I can't find it anywhere else. Not even close to the same color anyways.) I will probably need to be blindfolded then, as alot of their fabric is like $4.25 less 25%!!!

Anyways, I will put it in my stash and create some totally awesome quilt with it someday. ROFL Sounds good anyways!

Oh yes! Toucan Sam. I love to go looking all day and buy fabrics that I really love to put in my stash. Then, when I get ready to make something, I usually have some really pretty fabrics to use. That is sooo much better for me than to have to go shopping when I want to make something. It is 30 min. to my favorite quilting store, 45 min to Humboldt and 1 hour to Iola. By the time I'd get there, go shopping, get home, I wouldn't have the time or the energy to sew!

Love all your pretty new treasures! Looks like you can have lots of fun with fabric now!

cjomomma 05-26-2010 07:45 PM

I really love all the fabric's you got. I think I have most of the ones in pic 5. Great finds.

CarrieAnne 05-26-2010 07:46 PM

Oh, Lucky you!

CarrieAnne 05-26-2010 07:46 PM

Really nice addition to your stash :thumbup:

littlehud 05-26-2010 08:50 PM

Those are so pretty. What a great shopping trip.

You are set for awhile!

sewaholic 05-27-2010 01:05 AM

Can I come over and play.

Quilt4u 05-27-2010 01:46 AM

Wow!!!! You have been shoping. Love what you got.

Minnesewta-sam 05-27-2010 02:10 AM

You did good. I'm out in the corn fields, so when I go shopping, I have to do it all in one day. Gotta work all week to pay for it then...but I figure I'm supporting the economy and my addiction to fabric. Nice stash.

craftybear 05-27-2010 04:06 AM

awesome fabric thanks for sharing, what are you going to be making?

Ms Grace 05-27-2010 04:37 AM

Love them all.
Very pretty. :-)

Jingle 05-27-2010 05:25 AM

Very beautiful choices, I use lots of the blender/tone on tones/splotchy/solids. I can't seem to keep as many as I would like to have.

wvdek 05-27-2010 05:35 AM

Pretty eye-candy.

Thank you. I like the blenders/splotchies too and I didn't have much left of them. The closest quilt shop isn't very big and didn't have alot of the colors. When we went to Iola, they had soooo many colors, and shades of colors, that I had to get them (while I had the chance). When you live an hour's drive from a big city, you just have to get it when you see it, or it'll be gone.

HapaMom 05-27-2010 08:18 AM

What a lovely stash you've built! What's your first project going to be? :-)

Marjpf 05-27-2010 08:32 AM

Great selection. I love that butterfly fabric. Can't wait to see pictures of all the lovely things you will be making.

bevannthomas 05-27-2010 09:37 AM

I love how you can put those colors together..that is my weakness.

dkabasketlady 05-27-2010 06:04 PM

It looks like you had a very nice shopping trip building up your STASH!! Good for you!
