Sunday Stash - The Exception

Ah... sweet Kona. I knew when I was writing my Stash Manifesto that I didn't want to give up my monthly installments of Candy Coated Collections. My guildmate, Aimee of Candy Coated Quilts, started these last year and I love her colour combos!

I received the January and February bundles at our Exec meeting a while back (we're planning a retreat! Yay!!!). January's is inspired by Chinese New Year. Gung hay fa choy... I don't know the Mandarin for belated. ☺

Even though you can likely read the tags, there's Canary, Cardinal, Persimmon, Riveria, and Aqua. I can tell you that Canary and Riveria have already felt the cold blade of the rotary cutter. Gotta use that stash, y'all!
And February's bundle has my Girl Guide heart singing. I wonder if Aimee knew Thinking Day was this month! Camping and northern lights? Yes, please!

 

Nightfall, Celestial, School Bus, Storm, and Breakers. Definitely some faves in this bundle!

I'm linking up with the every glittery Molli Sparkles for Sunday Stash.  Yes, I know it's Saturday. Pay me no mind people... it's already Sunday in Molli's downunder world. Or I would have linked up with Molli if he hadn't handed the glittery torch to Ms. Midge while he parties it up at Quilt Con. I'm okay with that... since it'll be my own hands taking that very bling encrusted torch on Sunday, March 20th!

And tomorrow I'll be linking up with Barn Berry Designs' 4x7 Challenge - Week 3 Update!

Stash Love!

Well, we're a month and a half into The Year of the Stash. Here's hoping you've resisted the siren's song of your LQS and gone shopping in your stash. As for me, I've made up two bundles for the Birthday Bonus Club without even a thought of going shopping.
One pile of solids...

 And another of rainbow goodness...

 I also fulfilled my January OMG goal with a drawstring bag for DT's toys.

 And then a few for Christmas presents down the road.

And then there's the mini mini for Q-D. Didn't take a lot of fabric, but it was all from my stash!

 Then there's my Quilter's Planner cover. It makes me happy just to look at it.

 There's something about making every day objects beautiful.

 And I used some of my ribbon stash as well. I always buy it but rarely use it!

Guess I did more than I thought with my hoard stash! How about you?Link up a blog post about your stash-based projects this year. Or if part of your Stash Manifesto was to organize, feel free to link up a post about that process!

An InLinkz Link-up

I've rediscovered the joy of scraps this month, so I'll be selecting a random winner from the blogs linked up to receive a custom scrap pack from my very own stash. The giveaway is open to international participants until Saturday, February 20th at midnight (Atlantic Time).

P.S. It's not too late to get in on the fun of the The Year of the Stash. Just write up a Stash Manifesto and link it up here. And then join us on March 14th to show off a project or two made with your treasures!
