Full Moon Finished Friday

Having a full moon on Friday the 13th is pretty rare!  The next one won't be until 2049.  Lately, I feel like finishes are getting a little on the rare side around here.  I have several quilts that need to be quilted, several in various stages of being pieced, pillow tops that need backs sewn together, and so on.  Sound familiar?

But I DO have a finish!  It is a small one - as in mini quilt.  I used a charm square pack of Tula Pink's Nest, some solids and a white background.

I used the coordinating Tula Pink Aurifil Thread to quilt it in a grid.  I used my regular sewing machine and walking foot.  It is about 24" x 24".  The pattern is my own.  I am calling the block pattern Star Shine.  I made the HST's out of the trimmings.

And I completely spaced taking a picture of it with the binding hand stitched down before I gave it away to Jessica.  She said she didn't have a mini!  Whaaaaa?!?  Every quilter needs a mini!

I finished Block #1 of the Sew Lux Fabric Spinning in the Rain BOM.

That's it for this Friday.  Linking up now with Crazy Mom Quilts for Finish it Up Friday.

Sunday Stash #13 Diet No More

Now that my fabric diet is over, I have some lovely additions to my stash.  These were delivered to my door last week -  Tula Pink's Nest fabrics.  I found an online fabric store that actually has some in stock and they are actually priced at the usual going rate.  I love the coral and dark pink one so much, I am going to order some more.  Interestingly, this Tula Pink line is from Moda.

I also came home to find that this wonderful book had been delivered!

There are a few patterns in this one I'd like to make.  There is one that I will use my Tula Pink Nest layer cake with.  Excited!  Here is where you can get this book.

To finish my Acacia Vintage Quilt Revival quilt and my Craftsy Tula Pink Mystery quilt, I ordered more fabric.  I got that this week, too.  

Fox Field on the left and the middle and right fabrics are from the Acacia line.  Both are from Tula Pink.

The saying goes that whoever dies with the most fabric wins!  Well, I think there is a winner already. Or at least the bar has been set up so very high!  A local quilt shop has taken on the task of selling the fabric hoard stash of a woman who recently passed away.  When I went in the shop to look around, I found out that the shop had sold slightly under 10,000 yards of fabric (at $4.00 yard) and that was about HALF of what the woman had in her stash.  The money collected is being donated to the Maryland Children's Hospital, so a very worthy cause.  There were bundles sorted in piles of boxes, boxes and boxes to be dug through.  I found some great black and white fabrics.  And I also found these...

Yep, in the middle of a black and white fat quarter bundle were these two babies.  I love this fabric from the Architextures line!  

I also found some Liberty of London fabric.  When I was wrapping it around the comic board backer, I thought it looked so familiar.  And voile!  It is the same pattern as one of my favorite shirts; just different colors.

I also got two yards of this fabric.  It is a lawn or voile of some sort.  There is no name or identification on the selvage.  This will make a darling little girl dress.

Here's what I worked on yesterday and today:

Cut into my stash of Kate Spain's Terrain.  Gorgeous colors!  This will be a birthday gift to a very special person.

And ending with a picture of the best cat trap ever!

Sunday Stash #12 - The Easter Bunny Did It!

If I told you that it was the Easter Bunny that left me with these new beauties for my stash, would you believe it?  Or have I fallen off the fabric diet wagon?

Okay, Okay, I had to have these...

Tula Pink Neptune yardage on the left from #thegreatfabricdestash along with a Tula Pink Nest layer cake.  I mean, how could I resist?!?

Of course, while out in Utah, I had to stop at one of my fav quilt shops.  There were some FQ's just calling my name.  I swear.

Some Collage by Carrie Bloomston.

 Some  Riley Blake Geeky Chic Vinyl Record Fabric.

And some Lizzy House Cat Nap fabric.

At any rate, I'd rather the Easter Bunny leave me these goodies than some colored, hard boiled eggs.

Happy Stashing!  Love to see what you got!  Linking up with Molli Sparkles Sunday Stash!
