Sunday Stash #8

I bought this one at Joann's for absolutely no apparent reason. It was too cute, I couldn't resist. Although I usually don't buy my fabric at Joann's, I found they had a great flannel selection. This is one of 3 that I bought that day. A few years later and I have a perfect reason to use this fabric - my nephew. Won't this make a cute receiving blanket?

Had to show you these super cute fabrics I bought from Jo over at A Bit of This and a Bit of That. See the macarons? How could I resist? In case you can't either, here is Jo's etsy shop.


No specific plans for these. For now I'm content just looking at them.

One of my favorite fabrics of all time, Alexander Henry's Loteria. The images come from a Mexican game similar to bingo, called Loteria. I bought this fabric to sew onto onesies, which in my opinion looks super duper cute. I've made lots and lots of onesies and shirts with these images - my favorite being el corazon (heart.) Now that I'm pretty much done with my basement onesie endeavor, I don't know what to do with this great fabric. Ideas?

This is a vintage piece of cotton that is one of my all time favs. It was part of a random pile of vintage fabrics my mom gave me. It is a large scrap; maybe 1/4 of a yard or so. I love the cheerful yellow blooms with the blue dots. It has a loose weave, giving it a look similar to linen. I almost used some of it to make a reversible patchwork bag. It looks wonderful with natural linen. Perhaps I still will.

Sunday Stash #4

This week I'm sharing one of my very favorite stashed pieces. This is from Alexander Henry, 2000 and is called Robot Man. It is a flannel fabric and would be perfect for a baby quilt, swaddling blanket or even little jammie bottoms. I'll use this for sure if my sister has a boy.

Sunday Stash #3

This week I'm sharing the newest 3 members of my stash. They arrived in my mail box this week from a friend who bought them at Hancock's of Paducah. A quilting and fabric mecca. I *will* make it there some day! They are by the fabric genius, Alexander Henry. From left to right: Toadstool, Floral Fantasma, and Sprites of Tillbrook.

I bought this Michael Miller fabric years and years ago. I think the children on it are so sweet. The thing that intially attracted me to this fabric was the colors. The pink and the aqua are calming and tranquil. I always thought this would be used in a baby quilt, maybe it still will be.

For some bloggy fun, join the Sunday Stash group.

I ran across it here. It is hosted here. And there is even a Sunday Stash flickr group.

Join in! Taking pictures of fabric is almost as fun as taking pictures of food.

Today I'm sharing a fabric by Michael Miller called Things To Do. I bought it back when I was doing the etsy thing. My intention was to applique the images on to onesies. Would have been cute, no? Never got around to it. Not sure what to do with this fabric. I do know that it's too cute to give up, so there it sits in my stash.

Hope you're having a great Mother's Day!
