Sunday Stash #3

I am late to the party I know. When Denyse Schmidt's fabrics hit Spotlight stores last year, I must have been under a rock! Anyway, when I picked up the new 'Daisy Mae' fabrics I noticed that there were some other other lines on the racks. Some were together and some were scattered in amongst the colour-coded bolts on the quilting shelves. So on Wednesday I got a chance to go back and hunt them down. This is what I found. Delicious! And still only $11.98 per meter!
Now, my receipt has listings of fabrics from a line called 'Salty Aire' and 'Winding Roads' but I am not sure which is which in this stack. I bought half meter lots in the hope that I can get some decent fat quarters.

No plans for these fabrics yet...but it will come to me I am sure.
I also did a little shopping for my Etsy friend Simone from Local Honey Crafts - like a reversal of roles. I have recently bought DS fabrics and vintage sheet FQs from her. She was interested in some of the fabrics that are apparently only released in Australia.
I think these are from the two aforementioned lines, but I am not sure which is which either.
So it's my first fabric transaction on Etsy. Not used to listing anything else but quilts...but hey...nice to return the favour. These are all packaged up now and will be posted tomorrow.
I also managed to finish the 3rd notebook cover today. This is the one for my MOPS friend Jen...a belated birthday gift she will get on Friday at our next MOPS meeting.

Sunday Stash #2

This week I received some very different Vintage sheet FQs from Ducky House on Etsy. Tamara is based in the town of Winnepeg in the plains of Canada. She had such a huge range that I had to limit my choice to what we could stuff into a postage bag. And I was so happy with my final selection. Getting the a healthy combination of greens, blues and yellows to put away for a planned quilt later in Spring.
I also ordered some more Vintage FQs from Simone of Local Honey Crafts. Now her store is a one stop jaw drop shop. Plenty of Vintage goodiness (all on sale for February!)
And not realising that Spotlight were about to release the same 'Daisy Mae' line, by Denyse Schmidt, in Australia, I ordered some FQs off her as well (although it is not the full line). Her DS FQs are only $2 each and you can pick your own!
And by pure coincidence I found her blog this week too! It is full of lovely tales and quilts. You can find her blog at Goody Goody Gumdrops (cute name huh?). If you go to her last Sunday Stash entry you will see some Pezzy Prints and a new line of Denyse Schmidt called 'Aunt Edna' that has just come out in the US at their equivalent of Spotlight (called Joann Fabrics).


What's new in your stash this week?
