Oh, my. Yesterday my friends and I went to a new to us quilt shop – By the Yard in Rayville, Missouri. This is their 7th anniversary and they were having an anniversary sale. I found them because I was looking for a near by shop which carries the American Made Brand fabric. It’s a great shop and was worth the drive (about an hour north of me). This is what I managed to limit myself to.
The black and bright was an impulse buy – Loralie Designs to go with her Cool Cats that I bought several years ago. The large pink and brown reproduction print on the right will be the backing for the pink and brown quilt top I made several years ago. It was on the clearance rack at a fantastic price and then if you bought 5 yards you got one free. Seven yards came home with me. I’m going to try to match the seam.
In the back is what brought me to the store. AMB fabric in Light Kahki, Aqua, Brown and Light Yellow. I’m going to use this to test a new quilt pattern. The print behind it will be my backing — it is not an AMB fabric.
There were several other pieces of fabric I would have loved to brought home, but I knew if I did, it would just sit in on my shelf for a while.
Since I knew my numbers were going to jump up, I finally finished de-boning the shirts I bought last month. Those numbers are now in my total as well.
Fabric added this week: 17.75 yards + 10.25 recycled
Fabric added to date: 57.879 yards
Fabric used this week: 0 yards
Fabric used to date: 38.987 yards
Net used to date: -18.982 yards
Nothing like having more fabric now than when I started the year.

Great additions to your stash. Since you have plans for most of it, that’s even better.
I just love your stash enhancements! After all we have too “freshen” our stash.
