We’ve been having a lot of fun over in the Late Night Quilters Club on Facebook, the group I started with Stephanie and her friend Michelle a few weeks ago. Tomorrow that fun is about to go up a few notches. If you haven’t joined our group yet, now would be a good time to do so!

Tomorrow kicks off a brand new weekly event–Tuesday Fabric Stash Swap! We decided to keep it at swapping rather than buying and selling, and it will be a great way for all of us to destash the fabrics we’ve loved but that haven’t found their way to any projects, while at the same time swapping for new-to-us fabrics to help bolster our stashes. The swap is also open to quilting tools and notions. I am super excited!

I’ve fairly recently entered the quilting world, and my SAHM budget doesn’t allow any major fabric splurges, so my stash is teeny tiny. Even still, I have a few fabrics I bought with the intention to use, but that just haven’t found their way into any of my projects. I figure it’s a good time to pass them along and see what else comes my way.

The swap goes live tomorrow, but here’s a sneak peek at what I’ll be offering to swap:

Chevrons and Dots

1. “Mixxoni” by Greta Lynn for Kanvas Studios in association with Bernatex: 1/2yd
2. Remix by Ann Kelle for Robert Kaufman, Bermuda Chevron: 18″x21″ (a hair shy of a fat quarter)
3. Remix by Ann Kelle for Robert Kaufman, Bright Chevron: 13″x20″
4. Remix by Ann Kelle for Robert Kaufman, Spring Dots: 10″x44″

I’ve tried to love chevrons, really I have. I know they are all the craze in the modern quilting world, and I do like large chevron patterned quilts, sometimes. I bought these chevrons thinking that one day they would just hop successfully into a project, but lo… here they still sit, lonely as ever. I know that many quilters love chevrons, so I hope that they find a happy new home.

Watermelon Scrap Pack

1. Remix by Ann Kelle for Robert Kaufman, Summer (Yellow dots): 22″x25″ 
2. Remix by Ann Kelle for Robert Kaufman, Bright (Pink dots): 21″x14″
3. Remix by Ann Kelle for Robert Kaufman, Garden Chevron: 1/2 yard

These fabrics are super cute, and despite the chevron I kinda love them. They would make a really cute watermelon table topper or other summery kitchen decor. I would hold on to them, but my list of works-in-progress is long enough as it is, so I’m letting go.  Let it go, let it go! Can’t hold it back any more! (sorry, I have toddlers)

Stripes

1. Sis Boom Basics by Jennifer Paganelli for Free Spirit, Westminster Fibers, Eliza Stripe (Yellow): 1/2 yard
2. Sis Boom Basics by Jennifer Paganelli for Free Spirit, Westminster Fibers, Eliza Stripe (Green): 1/2 yard
3. Richloom Odilon Twill, Jewel: 1/2 yard 

When I first started quilting, I joined up with the Spool Along hosted by Laura at Adventures of a Quilting Diva. Since I had next-to-no striped fabric with which to make my spools of thread, I went a bit crazy and bought way more than I needed some. I’ve since realized that the fabric doesn’t have to be striped to make a good spool, and I’ve decided to downsize my stripes a bit. So here you go!

If any of these bundles strike your fancy, be sure to check out the Late Night Quilters Club Stash Swap tomorrow!
