Sunday Stash #94

This is the second last Sunday Stash here at Finding Fifth before it begins its new home over at Molli Sparkles. And last week the new button (which works) was revealed on his blog.

Last week's most viewed link up was the pile of donation fabric from Secretly Stitching.

A Solid Effort

This past week I spent about four days creating a Secret Santa gift for one of the girls in Wombat Stew.  I overdid it a bit and developed two bad headaches.

CW - Kona  Buttercup, Zuchini, School Bus and Pomegranate

Candy Pink, Tomato, Lupine, Lavender

Berry, Coal, Snow, Charcoal

Jade Green, Ash, Turquoise, Robin Egg, 

Knowing that this wombat loves saturated colour, I pulled only solids from my stash. They are gorgeous and vibrant.

Here's a teeny sneak peak.

Linky party below.

Sunday Stash #49

This week's Sunday Stash comes courtesy of the Australian Sew You're Destashing Facebook page. Lara from Luellabella was clearing out a few irresistables that I snapped up

1001 Peeps by Lizzy House in the tan colourway.

Kona Solid - 'Mocha' - over a yard

Retro Floral - I adore this piece and might use it with the Retro Kitchen paper pieced block I need to make for Marieka this month. Doesn't it look like 70s wallpaper?

RASK - Lara slipped in some scrap love. She always does. The sweety.

So how is your Stash this week? Feel free to link up below.

Cutting Denyse

Denyse Schmidt is a very popular fabric, quilt designer and author of quilting and children's books. She comes from a background of sewing and graphic design. I read on the Free Spirit fabric designer page that she has her couture quilts handmade by Amish women. 


It is easy to collect her fabrics and hoarde them away however, today I spent most of my time cutting up my DS fabrics.


DS Charm Swap


When this was run by That Moxie Girl, last time it was only open to US residents. This one was only open for a couple of days before it filled but thankfully I got in with a pledge of 2 sets of charm squares. 

Inserting a brand new blade (joy of joys) into my rotary cutter,  I cut up 112x5" charms. 


Katie Jump Kites

This project has been on hold for about a month but I finally cut up my recent 'green' arrivals.

Then I cut into my Kona Ash to make 112x 6.5"x3.5" rectangles.


So now the quilt is ready to be sewn up and I am excited.
