Stash for all Crafts!

I don't know about you all, but I enjoy seeing the stash posts on blogs. It gives me ideas on items I may like for myself. Plus it is fun to share the goodies we have gotten. There are so many fun items to try out. So here are mine:

I went to a Quilt Show on Veteran's Day about  1 1/2 hours away from where I live. Sadly, there are no more craft shows in Miami. There is just no interest here it seems. Also a reason why our small business craft stores have closed up shop in recent years. Here are the items I bought at the Quilt Show. I really tried to be good cause this was the weekend I went on my second Disney trip.



I picked up some fat quarters, a pattern to make a cover for my e-reader, a pack of Plasencia threads and some finger tipped thimbles. ( I didn't like these things when I used them).

A trip to Joann Fabrics for one item and yet I came back with these:

Hey! It never hurts to have a stash of finishing fabrics when the projects call for them or when a quilting project calls my name.


I won these lovely patterns from Linda @ Stitchin with my Furbabies. I will be joining her Friday night SAL in January to stitch the Halloween pattern on the right. It is an Ursula Michael design.

Okay! I went a little nuts on my last shopping trip. I went to Arizona for Thanksgiving and while I was there I visited a Hobby Lobby. I have only heard about these stores. We don't have any in Miami. I don't understand why. They should have a store here. I was in heaven in that store. It put my local craft stores to shame. I picked up two Stoney Creek pattern booklets,( I just love Pumpkins and Snowmen Designs), an Alma Lynn Cross-stitch kit, two small Thomas Kinkade Disney cross-stitch designs, a fat quarter bundle, a Christmas scrapbook kit and Christmas scrapbook stickers. What can I say? I couldn't resist! I was having fun shopping that day.

Okay! Enough blogging for one day. Enjoy your weeks everyone. :)

You are not alone Jen! Part of the reason to visit other places is to go stash shopping at a new store! Men don't understand this, but it is true! LOL
