So I am running really far behind. It was Kalissa’s Bachelorette party this weekend and that left me with house visitors and overnight guests. I don’t mind a bit in fact for the most part, I like it even though it throws my routine oriented self in a bit of a spin.
Anyway…onto the stash report. Â I got a wonderful box of goodies in the mail….
Lots of times when fabric is sent to me from a blog reader who want to stay anonymous. Â You can read the note that came with the package- “from anonymous in Texas”.
There are all sort of goodies included in the box. Â I’ve been working on a charity quilt that I’ll show you on Friday but it’s made with lots and lots of novelty prints. Â Since seeing it I decided that there is a novelty print quilt coming on my future…they are so cute. Â So as I was petting the fabric that came in the box I was thinking…”great novelty print” Â I pulled out a few of my favorites to show you.
They are so cute!! Â I am really want to make a novelty print quilt and include these…I think they are so fun.
Oh-Oh! Â That means that I am going to need another tote to house them. Â It seems I never have enough totes to keep things organized the way I’d like. Â Until I get to town to buy one, I am designating a box for them.
I can’t wait until the vintage cabinet that Hubby is working on gets fixed so I can put them in a permanent home.  You can bet that when that’s done and I can get my quilting room completely the way  I want it there is going to be some big time hooting and hollering happening at my house.
I love all the wonderful fabric and can’t wait to find a permanent home for them all in a pieced quilt. Â That is going to happen one day!
Thanks a million “anonymous in Texas” I had fun folding and petting all your wonderful fabric!!
I like to make I Spy quilts, and I cut a 5″ WOF from novelty prints to keep in a separate shoebox. That way, I can still incorporate the fabric into my usual stash, but don’t have to search for all the novelties when I want to make an I Spy quilt. Hope this helps!
Wonderful idea. THANKS!!
so, jo, do you have any fabric you really aren’t in love with? you could whip up a quick tote for the novelty prints. you could do the tote route or a small basket or even a draw string bag. quick and easy. patti in florida
