Best Box Yet

I have won another of the Traveling Stash boxes.  This is box number 6 and I think this is the best box I have seen. Lots of fabrics this time and just a few notions, patterns and magazines.  Want to see?  Okay, here we go:

 This is a lovely bunch of soft flannels.  I know it's spring, but think of the soft quilt you could make for fall.

 These four pieces are all at least a yard each.  Great batiks and cute children's prints.

 Here is the entire collection of fabrics.  All the rest are fat quarters or similar size.

Here are the patterns and notions in the box.  Some zippers, 2.5 inch squares and some 5 inch charm squares.

 These next two fat quarters made me laugh out loud.  This first one is called "heavy equipment" by Alexander Henry 2006.

 This one is Stand Tall Stripe. I don't know who is the manufacturer as that is cut off.  But Wow!

 This is what I took from the box. Four fat quarters, one 1 yard piece and a pink 7 inch zipper.

Here is what I added to the box: two one yard cuts of Flirtatious by Sandy Gervais, two one yard cuts of older green print fabric, 3/4 yard of red crabs from the Going Coastal line, 2 fat quarters from Noteworthy and a dot I am not sure of and 1/4 yard from sherbet pips and another I can't recall the name of, but very pretty blue and green.  Also I added about 40 charm squares to the small packet that was in there. I have lots of loose charms leftover from packs and swaps, so I pulled some from there. Whew! I was fun to add all that stuff!

Want to see this box in person?  Leave a comment on this post.  I will choose a winner on Saturday April 20.  Here are the rules of the stash:

Hear Ye Hear Ye!

I wanted to grab your attention.  I hope it worked.  I have received another of the traveling stash boxes.  I love to see what's in these.  Here is what I found:

 This time, most of the box was fabric.  Lots of dark colors, which is not my style, but a few lighter pieces too.

There were a few quilting magazines and some patterns.  A lovely spool of white ribbon and some wooden purse handles.

These were the pieces I chose to keep.  The one black one has little cherries all over it and I thought it might go well with some Mary Engelbreit fabric I have.

This is what I put into the box. The panel is actually a full panel, it's just folded here.  It is a Deb Strain Cherish Nature Panel.  The three green fat quarters are from one of Sweetwater's earlier lines, either Pure or Simply. The other pieces are various bits leftover from projects.  I am still looking through my stash to see if I can find something WOW to add.  I will edit this post if I do.

Found this! The coordinating egg fabric for the Deb Strain panel-1.5 yards and almost a yard of Flourish by Valori Wells, a nice springy touch if I do say so myself.

Now, if you want this box to come see you, leave a comment on this post. I would love to have lots of comments for this box! I will choose a winner by random number next Monday, April 15! Tax day! What a nice thing to do on that day!

Traveling Stash Giveaway

Here it is, the Traveling Stash Box number 2.  I have been periodically checking in to see where they all were and what was available.  I thought it would be fun to have one come to me.  And it is fun.  Lots of interesting things in this box.

This is what was in the box when it came to me.  Lots of fabric, a stack of patterns, a zip bag of notions and a few charm packs.  I perused it all a couple of times.  My thoughts in selecting was to only take things I really thought I would use.  My own stash is large enough, and I didn't want to just pick things that would sit around here.  So this is what I took:

Two large-ish pieces of fabric and several smaller ones, including a Santa piece that looked very cute and vintage-like.  There were several more Christmas themed pieces in the box as well.  And one charm pack of vintage sheet charms.

This is what I added to the box:

Four 1+ yards pieces of well loved fabric that I never could figure out how to incorporate into projects, several smaller pieced including a ladybug on pine branches piece, a Charm pack and a collection of 3 inch zippers that I bought, intending to make small coin purses, which I never did.

If you would like to have this collection of lovely stuff come to you, leave me a comment here on this post.  Here are the rules:
