Sunday Stash #17 - I'm An IG Floozy

Yes it is true, I am now an Instagram Floozy.You all knew I was a fabric floozy, and was very aptly crowned so by Katie.

  A floozy by definition, nicely put, is a woman of loose morals.When it comes to fabric I have absolutely none, and now it seems to be the same with IG.....I feel like I'm cheating on my blog.

But the gratification is sooo instant and I can post from exactly where I am sitting, or sewing or eating....and even in the bathroom....if I wanted to...just saying.

You'll find a new button on the right side of my blog (thankyou middle son) so you can come over and have a squiz at what I've been up to, I'm @oneweebird.

OK Fabric....holy moly there has been some fabric flying into my sewing room this week!!!

LOOK at this deliciousness!!! Anna Maria Horner,True Colours courtesy of Massdrop.

Mass drop is awesome...go on over and have a look.

I am just showing you the whole bundle cause she is way to pretty to crack open just yet.

You can find True colours here or here.

This little bundle of pretties I only picked up today from my local Spotlight...they were having a sale and I just wanted to have a quick look, you know how it goes....$6.49 per metre!!!!!! And I only bought half metres pieces of SOME not ALL, except for the Lime Dotty Stripe.

I'm really lacking in bright lime greens ...however I could clothe an African nation in pink should they so desire

The next lot of goodies is brought to you by Hawthorne Threads, they turned up in my letterbox and I've lost all recollection of purchasing them??? 

Sleep buying??

Anywhoo..... Alexander Henry Owls in Oyster Pink and Pale Pink  and Ta Dot in Pink

Left to Right, Les Points in Rose , Crossing Paths in Turquoise and Raspberry 

Telegrammes in Nuage, Text in Charcoal, Schematic in Grey, Scribble Notes in Charcoal

Text and Scribble Notes in Charcoal seem to be my go to background fabrics these days as I can never seem to keep them for long in my stash.....trying not to hoard them.

 

Trendsetter by Riley Blake in Stars and Houndstooth, Ta Dot in Bubblegum, Plus Signs in Summer and Tangerine (LOOOVE ) and three prints from DS Hadley that I've bought specifically to test against some other fabric I've been saving... I think it will work, still undecided?

I couldn't resist this Riley Blake print and this sweet Little Floral in Gray

Hadley and Trendsetter also play nicely together

Right, so we come to the end of this weeks fabric gluttony. And since you've lasted the distance I'm gonna give you the heads up on a little giveaway I'm having in a couple of days.

MY ONE YEAR BLOGAVERSARY IS COMING UP...YAY!!!

I can hardly believe it's almost a year since I took this leap of faith, so I want to share some fabricky love with you all...see ya in a couple of days

Linking up with Molli, whom all Woodland Creatures should be very afraid of in case he sparkles them to death or squishes them with a designer heel!!! 

 

Finish It Up Friday

 

I have been doing some stuff...although you probably can't tell from the big gaps on my blog datewise....sometimes I just forget to blog about them, or mostly I just simply don't have enough hours in the day....familiar reason anyone?? Especially when I have a bajillion children...OK only 4 and 3 of them are sort of self sufficient...I use that term loosely...teenage boys.

 

Anywhooo...waffle waffle one of the really fun things I do get to do is pattern test for Alyce at Blossom Heart Quilts

 

 

This is her latest pattern Bright Sky, go and read all about it....I'll wait.....

 

It's an awesome pattern with really easy to follow instructions, now tweaked a smidge to allow for extra wiggle room and bias edges, but what appeals to me is that it is a great one for a feature print and/or a select few prints of a favourite line.

Perfect as a go to gift......go buy it I guarantee you'll use it more than once

 

I also finished and posted off February's Stash Bee blocks for Hive#1...yes I said February that's why I've done more than the regulatory single block, hope Gwendellyn likes them

 

 

Scrappy heart tutorial here

 

 St Louis 16 Patch block tutorial here

 

 

  Cross Stitch block tutorial here

 

 

Fabric bribery for being soooo late..plus I think it may be handy to have more scraps from the blocks people send you just so your quilt can be easy to mix together using other peoples fabric,taste and style

 

 

March blocks are one and a half done....sooo much fun once you get into it and funnily enough I really enjoyed the drafting aspect with graph paper....who woulda thought??

 

 

And these pictures are just for fun because although it's Autumn the weather has been amazing and I know Winter is Coming....mwahaha only funny if you are a Game of Thrones nut ;)

 

Have a lovely weekend!!
