Sunday Stash: eQuilter Order

It's been a rough goddamn week.  It started with the transmission dying in the Jeep on the freeway, continued with some pretty crazy coordination issues throughout the week that just about made me want to pull my hair out (and it's crazy short now...pixie cut for the win).  I swear to God, there isn't enough of me to go around sometimes...I need a clone.  If Elon Musk could put more energy into THAT instead of launching cars into space that would be friggin' ducky.  I'm not hatin' on Mr. Musk and his space stunts.  I watched the launch.  It was AMAZING.  But uh.  I'm gonna need that clone.  

But I needed a little retail therapy before I did indeed pull my hair out...which means I bought sweet, sweet fabric.  It isn't here yet, so pictures from the *~iNtErWeBz~* will have to do for now. 

So what sick picks did I end up with?  SO GLAD YOU ASKED.  

 Birds of Liberty - Oregon, by Darlene Zimmerman for Robert Kaufman.  For you non-Oregonians, that's a Western Meadowlark.

 Elizakitten Era by Alexander Henry.  I am NOT a cat person, but I do love some medieval, renaissance, and Elizabethan era history.  So of course this is GREAT.  I only got half a yard.  I will probably regret that. 

 Encyclopedia Galactica by Studio 1500 for Andover Fabrics.  Just because a girl talked some smack about launching a car into space doesn't mean she can't buy some space shit. 

Haunted House - Heart of Darkness by DeLeon Design Group at Alexander Henry.  Obviously this is glorious and I probably didn't buy enough.  Reminded me of From the Cradle to Enslave (Uh, if metal isn't your thing...don't click that.  Trust me. But if you do, it's the censored version because reasons)

 Tale of the Dragon by DeLeon Designs by Alexander Henry.  I love me some dragons.  I don't know what I will do with this yet but obviously it is badass. 

Aaaaaand my favorite.  TERROR OF THE DEEP from Natural Instincts, David Textiles.  I have been collecting toothy shark fabric for some time now as I find it because I need a quilt specifically to watch Shark week under. No, I am not kidding.  This will be the centerpiece.  CHOMP CHOMP MF.

I seriously cannot wait until these come in.  USPS needs to hurry tf up!

Stash Sunday - Quilt Show Goodies

What. A. Weekend.  I'll have a post up later this week about the show itself, but I am spent.  It was a great first year and I can't wait to see how it grows next year!

But in between the bursts of activity, I got to wander and shop a little.  Our buddy Diane at the Ladies of Liberty shop in Independence was our neighboring booth, and John discovered a real interest in Civil War reproduction quilts.  Who friggin' knew?  Not my style at all, but it was cool that he found something there that he just organically took interest in and liked.  So he was eyeballing some pieces that I could make up for him. 

We ended up bringing these babies home...two stacks of half yards from Andover, Windham, and Moda.  I can't see the lines all these are from, so sorry about that. 

He wants a traditional quilt, so that's going to really break me out of my bubble.  I do a lot with brights and funky fabrics and weird blocks so...yeah.  This will be a departure for me but since he picked the fabrics I know he will like it. 

So then I got to do a little shopping for me.  The Soujourn Collection was there, which I always enjoy her booth.  I picked up these lovely Malka Dubrawsky fat quarters, and one random fat quarter I just happened to like. 

Now THAT'S more up my alley.  I wish the picture could do these justice, the gold grid on the right just glows.  Rarely do I know exactly what I want to do with the fabrics I buy because I HAVE TO HAVE THEM, but these I do.  I use the Elisa's Backporch Designs circle template quite a bit, and these are just begging to be circle blocks. 

With the show done, I can relax a little and get some sewing-for-fun done.  I can't wait!
