The quilt show and the stash

One of the highlights of this years show for me was my friend Pennie Darlings win in the miniature section. The hexagons are 3/16 " finished. Here's a picture for you to enjoy published with Pennie's permission.




My major acquisitions from the show came from AK Traditions. I first read about them here. I bought a kit for a knitted doll that may take a while to complete. I also needed a box to store my WIP in progress - didn't I. I have fallen in love with their wool so some of that came home as well. More colours to follow.





So to the stash. The purchases as predicted were large but most from quilt stores not the show.

Fabric used this week 1 1/2 yards

Fabric Used this year 35 1/4 yards

Fabric purchased this week 19 yards

Fabric purchased this year 167 1/2 yards

Net reduction + 132 1/4 yards
