Fabric Gathering


I don't always post about the fabric I have gathered, but lately I have been gathering a lot. It is mostly to build up my stash of fabrics for the large quilting project we have taken on.
This fabric above is from Ebay. It was from a quilter's stash. There were lots of all different colors imaginable. I got the green. I should have tried for a complimentary color like peach or yellow also. Oh well. These will be going toward the Refuge House quilts. We have to make 30 or more.

I love the thrifted pillowcases above. They look almost screenprinted. They are beautiful and are probably destined to become shopping bags. I also picked up a few more yards for quilting.
I love it when estate sales have fabric. I also love it when it isn't wildly overpriced. I got all of these beauties for 25 cents a yard. Also not pictured are yards of flannel and quilted cotton for baby blankets. So much fabric and so little time.

Fun, fun, fun! Every once in a while someone in my Freecycle group is cleaning out their fabric stash, but I haven't been lucky enough to get any yet!

I found a cute tutorial on a pillowcase dress here: http://freshlypicked.blogspot.com/2008/03/pillow-case-dress-tutorial.html

Looks like you are having fun!
