Fiona is celebrating a year of Sunday Stash Linky Party and is having a giveaway, so if you've ever thought about linking up, this is a good week to give it a go :)
Recently I received a lovely package from Pink Castle Fabrics. They had a sale on bundles so I lashed out and purchased a liberty scrap bundle (or maybe it was 2). Just lovely!
These are probably my favourites. I don't know how I'll use them, but I know that it will have to be for something special :)
I squeezed a few other prints into the envelope. I'm not sure exactly while I photographed these together but I do like them both. Seperately LOL
I'm actually really excited about the dumb dot (I think that's what it is, but I'm writing this on the laptop on the sofa and the thought of walking 10 feet to my stash is a bit much LOL). It is the PERFECT binding for my Rainbow I Spy quilt!! Yippee!! In fact I'm so excited about it that I've started work on that quilt again :)
Another recent addition to my stash was this little torch from Carrefour. It actually has a sticky patch underneath and you press the centre to turn it on.
I paired it with a slightly damaged food storage container and created my own little light box :)
It works a treat and lives on my sewing table for paper piecing at night time.
So there you go, a few pretties, a DIY lightbox and a Sunday Stash on Monday :) Have you added to your stash recently? I encourage you to join the weekly confessional over at Finding Fifth, you don't need to actual use your pretties, just share them :)

That lightbox is inspired! What a brilliant idea. I hadn't thought of using one of those little lights for that. I'm going to have to make one of those now! Great idea! Hope your feeling much better now after all your trials and tribulations over the last couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the brilliant idea. My son claimed back his lightbox when he left home. I certainly need one.
ReplyDeleteI never thought to use a light box for paper peicing! What a sewing genius you are Gemma!!
ReplyDeleteI've been planning a stash confessionial for quite a while, but I'm not sure if my friends in blogland have the time to read ALL that it entails. ;)
Have a wonderful week!
Yes I am with the girls, I have never thought of using a light box for pp either. Clever. Glad you have clawed back some of your health...it s been a tough few weeks for you.
ReplyDeleteI love your homemade light box. That's fantastic! :) And your fabric is quite lovely too. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're an ideas woman Gemma!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a light box. Maybe it's just the photo but the butterflies and dumb dots look fine together from here :) . I've seen bits of that book and it looks like the photos are beautiful with the added bonus of having projects as well.
