stash report May 19, 2019

I've added a few pieces to my civil war reproduction stash, since I am using them in my circa 1880 swap. I have many more prints than neutrals, and, it seems I am using a lot of neutrals. I really like the cheddar/ mustard yellows and poison greens, so I add them any chance I get. This sort of fabric doesn't seem to be popular right now with all the modern and bright colors available. I hope that pretty soon, people will be sending repro fabric to goodwill, until then, I have to buy here and there since they are rarely on sale.

Fabric Used year to Date: 136.25 yards

I hope to work on my snowman rug today for my slow, enjoy the day "stitching"


It was great to get my sewing machine running again after an organization push, so I had no trouble spending 15 minutes a day at the machine.

    You would have loved my Guild's sale yesterday. There were tons of 1800s reproduction fabrics. I also love a good neutral.

    Fingers crossed you see more reproductive fabrics in your usual fabric buying haunts soon. Congrats on your very impressive stash numbers! More out than in is pretty cool. Enjoy your slow stitching today.

    I'm so glad you were able to find fabrics you enjoy! The Civil War era was such an interesting time for quilting. Thank you for sharing!

    I love the mustard and greens too! I love the deeper jewel tones better than the brights.
