Well, two giant boxes showed up at my house this past week--snow, ice and rain still (mostly) can't deter the postal service.
The first contained the damages from my stop over at Aunt Bea's online store closing sale. I'm so sad to see that shop close up, they really had some amazing stuff. I say had, because apparently, I bought it all! (PS--Totally blaming Ashley over at Film in the Fridge for posting about the sale when I was having a weak moment. Just saying...)
On to the carnage!
First, some super-cute fabrics for little boy quilts. I come across boy-appropriate fabrics fairly infrequently, so I tend to stock up when I find something I like. From the left, Michael Miller Plaidsportation, Alexander Henry elephants, and the last 4 are from Robots by David Walker for Free Spirit. I actually have one of the other focus prints from the Robots line, and I think they're adorable. Now I just need more friends to have boys... *crickets*
Moving on...
Adding to my AMH Good Folks stash. I LOVE this print.
Weekends, Mingle, and Meadowsweet in sort of a pink/orange/white trio.
And finally...
A couple of yards of Japanese imports. Top is Isso Ecco for Lecien of Japan, and the bottom is Kei Honeycomb. I have SUCH a love affair with honeycomb dots. Did you know that until a couple of years ago, I hated polka dots and owned none? Scary, I know. Apparently, I am now making up for the error of my ways--with interest.
Which brings me to package #2. Are you tired of fabric yet? Me either!
The second package came from the lovely Kerri's Etsy shop, Sew Deerly Loved.
At the top, 6 yards (I KNOW) of Kona solid in Medium Gray. This is going to be the background for my Single Girl Quilt-Along quilt. I'm still pulling fabrics for the rings, but you can get a tiny peek if you look at the left side of the first photo in this post.
Don't worry, I'll wait...
...
I'm thinking prints of mostly white, turquoise and aqua with navy and lime accents on a gray background would be stunning, but we'll see what happens when I get into that.
Back to the goodies Kerri sent. There's also a yard of Essex Cotton/Linen blend in Natural for part of my Urban Home Goods Swap project. Then *looks down* a few other things jumped in my cart. Like the cute little elephants. And the cool Alice Kennedy red and white leaf print. And more Honeycomb dots, this time in orange. I SAID I have a problem!!
So where does this leave me in the realm of stash busting? Are there awards for "reverse" busting? No? Crud.
Used this Week: 0 yards
Used year to Date: 3.5 yards

Looks like I have my work cut out for me--literally!

You better get moving on those 22+ yards!
Such pretty fabrics. Have fun making quilts with all your new stuff!
Life's too short to worry about adding to the stash! We need gorgeous fabric to make gorgeous quilts (at least that's what I tell myself)! Enjoy!
Stop feeling guilty. The damage is done. Now it's time to enjoy it.
