Fabric Stash

For those of us who love to sew, the words "fabric stash" brings a smile to our face and joy to our hearts.  For those unfamiliar with the term, here is the official web definition of the term:

      ***In simple terms, your fabric stash is is your hoard of fabric 

            or your future hoard of fabric.  Stash is the fabric bought for
  future projects that you haven't even thought of yet***

I've been sewing and quilting now for years so needless to say my fabric stash has been growing leaps and bounds.  Fabric choices are absolutely limitless, which makes ideas and creations endless and it allows your imagination to soar.  I am a sucker for florals, mostly smaller florals so fabric artists like Cath Kidston and Tanya Whelan sing to me lol. 

 I am also in love with Lecien fabrics and the Japanese artist Atsuko Matsuyama.  I love their bright, colorful vintage looking prints.  They make me happy :-)

Lecien - Florals, Cherries & Strawberries

Last night I ordered some Atsuko Matsuyama fabric for myself (from one of my new favorite online stores Sew Deerly Loved ).   I have been looking at it for a while and denying myself the purchase because well you know, I don't really "need" anymore fabric.  My mother asked me what I was going to make with it when I told her this morning I had ordered it, and my answer was "I have NO clue"...but it will look pretty in my stash :-)
