Sunday Stash -- On Monday

I didn't get yesterday's Stash Report posted, because . . . well, read on, and you'll see why!

During my whirlwind trip to Idaho last week, I made only one quilt shop stop. On my way to the airport, I dropped by my favorite Boise Shop, Quilt Expressions. It's the only shop I know that is even larger than Ruth's Stitchery. And they always have something unique!

In this case, it was a good selection of Aboriginal fabrics. I owe a quilt to the DH of my Idaho hostess, and I think these will make the perfect quilt for him!


The pattern is a Quilt Expressions original, "Neighborhood Association." 

Only one more addition to my fabric stash this week. This is "A Field Guide" by Moda. I scored this bundle on Gotcha Covered Quilting's Instagram de-stash.


It will be perfect for my next "low volume" quilt.

And now, the reason nothing is getting done at my house this week!


My beloved Siamese, Prince Chulalongkorn, died two years ago. We have two other cats, but neither one wants to cuddle me. So for my birthday, a friend offered this little cutie!


I usually give my cats "food names: (i.e. Marmalade, Chutney, Chocolate Mousse) so this little guy is named "Samosa." For my favorite savory pastry!

It's been a hard week, but one simply cannot be sad when one has a purring kitten on one's lap!

  2. So funny, I recognize some of the fabric I bought 2 years ago in Vermont Quilt Show, from that very same shop. At that time, I bought 2 bundles of layer cake. Here is what I did with it: http://courtepointemoi.blogspot.ca/2012/07/couverture-australienne.html. It is still one of my favorite quilt, I really liked the colors.

  6. Samosa, what a great name! They are such lovely little time wasters, no wonder quilting can wait! I'm sure he'll be getting involved in all your projects from now on, whether you want him to or not!

  8. So cute - my cat isn't much of a cuddly one either - only for about 5 minutes at a time!
