This week Sunday Stash is being hosted by Alyce of Blossom Heart Quilts. So I will see you over there for the linky party.
Next week Sunday Stash will be hosted by Emily of Sew E.T
Currently I am on a road trip holiday with my husband and three kids. My mum and dad are chicken sitting at our property. This is what my mum has recently bought.
What's new in my mum's stash?
Some Victoria and Albert vintage print @ $25 per metre!!!
A mirror
A 2014 diary.
See you over at Blossom Heart Quilts for the linky.
Alyce of Blossom Heart Quilts is an Australian living in Chiba, Japan. We met through Quilt Club Australia and more importantly we are friends through Wombat Stew.
So when I had to make Alyce's ATC into a pouch, I had no problem scoping out her favourite colour and some relevant Japanese prints. I enjoyed making FMQ sushi swirls on the back. How cute is this fabric that one of the Wombats sent me?
Inside I put some tiny hearts fabric.

Thank you to Audrey from Hot Pink Quilts who hosted Sunday Stash last week.
Next Sunday I plan to visit Kristy of Quiet Play in person. We are taking our kids on a week's holiday and will be returning home and passing through her town.
And so Alyce from Blossom Heart Quilts will be hosting Sunday Stash.
Inheritance Reds
I have a lovely older friend who recently cleaned out her craft cupboards.
She passed some traditional prints on to me.
Have you ever had fabric passed on to you?
Link up your stash additions below.
Gina of Party of Eight is an American living in northern California. She is our honourary Aussie in Wombat Stew.
Gina and her daughter' s love strawberries. Gina's was the first pouch I made. I was safe using straight line quilting in a zig zag pattern.
Inside I put some more strawberries.

Spring has brought warm days in the 20s so I tackled the chicken coop.
We have a lot of native birds that feed around the chicken run and consequently they bring lice and mites to the chickens.
I had read online that a White Wash (builder's lime mixed with salt) is a lice and mite inhibitor.
I mixed up a batch for the inside of the chicken coop using 4 cups salt, 12 cups lime and 9 L of water.
The first mix was too runny and so I added less water for batch two.
It also brightens up the inside of the coop.
I also used some of the excess decking oil to paint the timbers inside the coop.
And sprayed the door.
There is more to do but it is looking better already.
Just in time for Spring!
Thank you to Vera of Negligent Style for hosting Sunday Stash Last week.

Feathered Companions
Life around Highlands has been keeping me super busy these past few months. I find that I have less time for sewing. Managing house repairs and five acres is very time consuming.
The chickens have been keeping me company out in the garden this week. So I am dedicating this Sunday Stash to the chooks.
I found these two prints recently at Spotlight and bought half a metre of each.
Farmyard Prints
These two I inherited from my mum's stash a few years ago.
This one features some chickens.
This one features none!
So what's new in your stash this week? See you over at Hot Pink Quilts for the party.
Being a member of QCA Bee #1 exposes me to blocks I have not seen before. This month Helen chose a Sprout Block designed by Tracey Jay Quilts.
Helen had a list of colours to choose from and I chose orange and teal.

I think that it is going to be a colourful looking quilt.
