  1. Wow… 11 commandments. Somehow I didn’t expect so many. But you’ve left me wondering “Why NOT Carkai?” Thanks again for spreading the love about The Year of The Stash. And for keeping the intended tone. It’s never been about not buying, but rather about enjoying what we already have!

    I will happily help you out with no.7. And I hear you about no.8! JFC it hurts, right in the pocketbook!

    How did you ever end up in Australia anyway?

  3. The Melba line is really lovely. You have clearly put a lot of thought into your manifesto; I hope you have a great year with it!

    Love the Melba fabric too – I have already made a cushion using the magpie print as a feature:) And your stash manifesto is brilliant – i can relate to quite a few on your list!

    Sorry but who are you trying to kid Sunday Stash #16!?
    Loving the manifesto, I’m inspired to write one too although I might leave it until after next weekends craft show!

    Hmmm…maybe I need to grow my stash some more, because I’m really loving the magpie prints. Turquoise and mustard together always makes me smile. For some reason my link posted twice 🙁 Can I blame fat fingers or bad internet connection?

  7. Wendy says:

    I am also working with Melba! What a delight it is to sit at the hand quilting frame and look at these fabrics each day, also many thanks for the linky party 🙂

  8. Love your manifesto! Have you sold the Tula Pink yet? That will be hard, but it may feel good to just purge it.

    […] This week I wanted to show you the second half of my purchases from the Intrepid Thread and San Francisco. I always go to Intrepid Thread expecting to buy very little, and end up leaving with my arms full. Julie must have a magic spell placed around the building that induces hypnotic shopping when you enter! Or is that just me watching too many Vampire Diaries and The Originals episodes? Seriously addicted, y’all! Anyway, speaking of magic spells, all of this fabric fits right into that category. (<–See what I did there?) Above is a fat quarter from Utopia–love tone on tone–and a fat quarter from Carkai with threads of gold running through it. Rumpelstiltskin? This is also my only purchase from Carkai due to my fabric buying manifesto. […]
