2009 Stash Report Week 17



Stash busting my my my I would really like to whittle my stash down. But things like fabrics keep coming home with me. Like this bag.




I am minding my own business on my way home and you know they built this brand new Goodwill store a few blocks from my house a nice clean well run and organized store. I have to drive by it all the time. And of course I stop now and then you never know what you can find. Stuff goes in and out of there so fast it's scary what I might be missing. I also enjoy just looking at the junk they get in. One time I stopped with my daughter and we seen some one dropping off a cat tree house thing at the drop off doors. When we checked out the person in front of us was buying the cat house. A very fast turn around. Any way this bag of fat quarters 80 of them (I counted) was marked 10 dollars. How could I not buy them. So my stash busting took another big hit this week in the wrong direction. Ouch 20 yards. But if there were 2 bags I would of bought them both.
This week

Used 3 yds 15"

I agree - what a find - I would have never expected to find fat quarters at a good will store. I have found and bought old blocks at flea markets since they are a great source of old fabrics to look at.

What a great find. Some people have all the luck. Every time I go into the Goodwill store I can't find a thing but if I saw that fabric I would have bought it too!

my car has this "thing" in the front by the radiator, whenever we get near a quilt store, it just "sucks" me right there, around corners, past lights, right to the closest spot near the door. And refuses to start again until I go inside and look around. Yup, first time it happened I was driving along HWY 212 in MN, heading through a little town called "Bird Island". Yup, while I was stopped at the stop sign, my car suddenly took a left OFF the highway and parked. Did you KNOW they have a great store called "Gathering Friends" and publish several quilt books? WOW!
