SEWING AND DESTASHING THOUGHTS

Ahhh...the beach!

I think it was the most beautiful sunset 

I have ever seen!

Even Walter was unusually calm and appreciative!

Well,

in between trips to the beach

and daydreams of Paris...

I have been sewing up a storm!

It seems that I have developed 

quite a crush 

on all things Kathy Doughty!

Here's a very fun finish...

there are 24 different fabrics in each "bead".

This time I did it random and my usual hodgepodge way...

next time I might play even more within the colors.

From this book...

I saw this pattern...

and am having sew much fun!!!

I channeled Karen Stone's philosophy 

and developed a palette

starting with this Alexander Henry fabric...

which played with this goofy purchase so well!

(Sometimes even I don't know why I buy the fabrics I do!)

You make all these giant circles...

(I kept seeing what Joe Cunningham talked about -

how the color of the fabric is not really known

until it is actually in play with it's neighbor!)

I am still auditioning center fabrics.

Some old fabric, 

some new.

It is all making me positively giddy 

with excitement 

to see what happens next!

The design is also quite refreshingly different!

Voila!

Trim them down to 13 1/2 inch squares.

LOVE the whole process!

It was wonderfully easy to pick the fabrics from my stash.

I am all done organizing

I will forever be tweaking the collection.

I suppose it will be part of my creative process.

I did come to the conclusion

 that I would like to

do some destashing.

The post office lady said that this box 

can be sent anywhere in the US

for 5.80$ 

So here's my destash/online garage sale idea...

I will ship you 14 fat quarters

for 30.00 (includes shipping).

Send me an email 

kwiltzbystephanie@gmail.com

1. stating your overall choice (I pick fabrics) -

A. cool colors (blue,green, purple)

B. warm colors (red, yellow, orange)

C. reads as black (mostly black background)

D. reads white (mostly white background) 

2. your address

I will send you my address and will ship your fat quarters once your check has cleared.

Please help me with my addiction - 

I need room for future purchases!

(I know you know of what I speak!)
