A growing stash....??


I've been feeling a bit 'fabric blue' lately....everyone else seems to be buying up these wonderful bargins left right and centre and I've got none...:( and nore can I afford any with IVF payments and so forth....

I know I had more fabric lying around here somewhere and sure enough when I went looking I found a nice big bag full in the laundry waiting to be washed...and so wash and iron it I did....


40 metres of it!!

Opps now I'm not feeling so fabric poor...admittedly most of it is to finish quilt tops that have already been started...so that doesn't count right??

And then I went the whole hog and cleaned up the sewing area and stash...this is all that a have of sewing stuff... I think..?!?
