MISSION 2018: USE SCRAPS + STASH. Plain & Simple.
Are you on board? Instead of just collecting fabric this year (I'll always be a collector, lol), I'm focusing on actually USING that stash.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT USING STASH/SCRAPS
Mixing fabric lines
Mixing prints \ solids \ substrates
Making use of prints I've been too scared to cut
I've been doing pretty good at holding true to this so far this year.
NEW PATTERN 3/27/18 - OLD MOHAWK QUILT PATTERN
I'm gearing up for a new pattern release - it's designed to use fabrics from your STASH - mixing collections to make a unique quilt. With 4 sizes to choose from, you're sure to find the right combination of stash prints/solids to make this advanced beginner quilt.
MODERN + TRADITIONAL STYLE
It's here - Old Mohawk Quilt Pattern PDF! I promise it will use up your stash in my usual modern + traditional style.
There will be a special newsletter-only coupon for the new pattern. Don't miss out! Sign up here.
STASH SURVEY RESPONSES
Thank you to all those who helped answer the Stash Survey I sent out in my newsletter. 100+ responses! I love reading the last question - which is kind of whatever you want to share. You guys are chatty! My favorite comments include:
"I stash because I may need to start making a quilt at night." and
"I stash because I have the attention span of a squirrel!"
You guys seriously crack me up (someone was asking me quiz questions for movie quotes) and I love getting to hear more detail about you. Your answers are going to help me design more scrap/stash patterns for you this year.
The Results.
most quilters stash FQs (36%) or 1/2 Yds. (26%)
77% will break up Bundles if they purchase them
60% stash solid fabrics
The Old Mohawk Quilt Pattern encourages you to use stash (mix + match) and will be out in a few days.
