Oops. Â I did it again.
What is it with fat quarter bundle sales that I can’t resist?? Â I bought another. Â This bunch came from Homestead Hearth. Â I am EXTREMELY happy to report that they don’t have any other batik bundles available. Â VERY HAPPY!!
Last time I bought a couple and blog about it. Â Then a reader wrote that she got some only she ordered some only she ordered the blue..WHAT?!?!? Â There wasn’t a blue option when I ordered so what did I do? Â I went and looked. Â Sure enough there was blue now AND there was a multi colored option too. Â So, what’s a girl to do….order right? Â I did.
I got the blue and the multi batik bundles….
I got Civil War reproduction fabrics. Â These are my all time favorites. Â I’ve been stretching my wings and making quilts in different styles but my heart belongs to Civil War reproduction fabrics.
I grabbed this bundle. Â It was listed as grays and blacks. Â I’ve been wanting to collect grays for a quilt that Bonnie Hunter will have in her next book. Â I have so few grays. Â Sadly this bundle was more blacks than grays..see?but that’s okay…I needed blacks replenished too.
It looks like I am in the clear from Homestead Hearth…but now what do I see? Â Whittles is offering fat quarter bundles too. Â OH NO. Â No more temptation please. Â I can’t take anymore temptation and I am trying to make a vow that I need to do a big reorganization of the sewing room. Â I do it about twice a year and it’s time….but first I have a few more projects that have deadlines. Â UGH.
How often do you reorganize and clean out your sewing room? Â Curious minds want to know!!
I have enough fat quarters to cover my town in a quilt, but I cannot resist bundles. I ordered two taupe bundles from the Quilted Twins. I told them that you sent me. LOL.
I clean my ‘sewing room’ every time I sew, as we live in a tiny house. I have to get everything out and put it away at the end of each day. Ugh. – Jean
I don’t have a lot of fat quarters I have more in yards that way I have a lot of scraps which is always good I will buy certain colors when I get low on them I clean my sewing room after I finish a quilt top,backing and binding
When I feel I’m losing control I stop and sort – clean and put away. That clean sewing table gets the creative juices flowing again.
I generally don’t buy fat quarter bundles but seeing yours and the deals I am reconsidering even though I don’t “need” any more fabric….lol. I only clean my sewing room when I can’t stand it any more and I have to say I’m getting close to that point. The only trouble is it needs a major reorganization and I am not ready to do that yet!
Usually, fall and spring the cleaning bug hits me, but I will confess, I easily get distracted by cutting, piecing and quilting-thinking that if I just use this up then I won’t have to put it away. I cut out three baby quilts last weekend with that line of thinking. . .maybe after a nap this afternoon, I will be more focused. I am trying to be on a fabric diet until I finish some UFOs.
You are NOT helping me. . .LOL! :)
I have my own sewing room with a fabric cabinet, so I keep a good supply all the time. I found a shop that has the civil war fabric and have just started a curved log cabin quilt with them. I love them.
Gosh! You mean we are supposed to clean out sewing rooms? Nobody ever told me that.lol.
