Sunday Stash #56

Because ...
.
I've made a mess of my red fabric stash this week
and I still haven't tidied it up yet,
I am fussy about the kind of red fabric that I like
and therefore is the "smallest" pile of fabrics of all the colors,
and I do love red.

From left to right they are:
  • Kei Honeycomb in Red
  • Dotted Vine, Flea Market Fancy by Denyse Schmidt
  • Peony in Red by Kaffe Fassett
Both the Dotted Vine and Red Peony fabrics are now a rare find, and although I have a fairly limited stash (down to less than a fat quarter of the Kaffe Peony!) of both, I do use them rather than keep stashed.


Sure!  Fabric is for stashing, but more so for using and enjoying.

  1. Yes, I agree stash your fabrics so that you can sort through them to use!

  3. I love the red and white quilt. May I ask what is the name of the fabric with the birds on a wire? I think it makes the quilt. The whole thing makes me smile!

  15. Such great fabric. I have lots of reds, but neither of those...but I found a source for some old Kaffe that I'm going to check out. Also I want to check on the Laundry Birds as I really like what you did with those too.

  16. I feel the same way about my reds--I love red, but it's always the smallest pile in my stash. When I find a good red, true, bright cherry red, or a vibrant lipstick red, I buy it in a fair quantity, because they are so few and far between.
