    What a variety of stashing – that metallic yarn dye is awesome, I’m not a shiny, glittery type of person (although I was wearing shiny silver slides 5 minutes ago on the school run!) but that is gorgeous fabric. Cliff’s Variety sounds like heaven – good job it’s not round the corner from me

  2. Beautiful!! I love Carkai and those linens look amazing. The unicorns are adorable and remind me of my 80s childhood!!

    Oh I just bought some of the shimmery Essex for a quilt for my granddaughter. Haven’t gotten it yet so I am glad to hear it’s a good one! I love the Intrepid Thread too, hoping to get a chance to duck in before they change their model! Have a great week!

    I like the stash manifesto! In the few years I’ve been quilting I have been getting a lot better about refining the things I like out of a collection, and so rarely want to get entire collection bundles anymore. There are only so many dollars I can spend on fabrics without the husbeast starting to gripe, and I realized along the way that often I don’t care for some of the prints, or only like (some of) one color way. I’d rather stuff I really like, versus future destash piles taking up space and making me faintly unhappy to look at.

    Or some collections are just so large (Moda and the 40+ SKU collections comes to mind) that I’d be a pauper if I got whole collections regularly. If I do really like one, then sometimes charm packs or a jelly roll are an economic way to get them all.

    I did, though, get an entire Carkai bundle, but that’s because I do love what Carolyn is doing.

    Pick’n’mix is an approach making me a lot happier. And even then I try to keep projects in mind when I get stuff. I do want to use what I have, not let it languish. That’s just sad.

    I got to feel those Essex metallics at Sewtopia and they ARE nice! You’ll wish you had purchased more, manifesto or not!
