Mother's Day Gift Ideas

 With Mother's Day just a little over a week away, I thought I'd help with some gift ideas!  Here are a few of my favorites...

The perfect bag for carrying projects around!

If she is always looking for her notions, get her a handmade pouch to hold them and she will never loose another stitch marker again

I would love a few skeins of Manos Silk Blend, and I'm sure your Mom would too!

A yard of her favorite fabric would be perfect!

Handmade jewelry is a must have!  A needle case is a great gift to keep her needles organized. 

Stash also has gift certificates available.

Joel Dewberry Aviary 2

One of the first lines of fabric I ever ordered for Stash was Joel Dewberry Aviary (the original collection).  I remember how excited Carol and I were to start the business at The Barn and have a selection of unique yarns and modern fabrics.  The Aviary fabric was and still is my favorite.  I have a few yards "stashed" away, waiting for the special project.  Whenever I go through my stash and come across this fabric, I can't help but smile at the memories.  Which is why I was so excited to see JD come out with Aviary 2. Many of the same fabric prints in my favorite colors along with new colorways.  I'll have to cut a little off each bolt and add it to my existing Aviary collection and stash it away until the perfect project comes along.

Sew Quick Holiday Gift Idea

The "Little Wallet" and "Project Bags" from Valorie Wells Designs are the perfect QUICK gift to make this year for anyone on your list.  They both use very little fabric, a great project for your scraps, and are super fast to sew.  The "Little Wallet" would make a great gift card holder and the "Project Bag" is perfect for filling with a special skein of yarn or a few fat quarters.



Amy Butler Soul Blossoms just arrived!

              

Here is a little peek at what you will see at Stash.  You'll have to come in to see the rest!

This foot stool was salvaged by the very talented Nancy M.  Her choice of fabrics are the perfect match.  Nancy used Joel Dewberry's Modern Meadow fabric.  Notice how she used appliqué to make the stool truly unique.  Do you like this foot stool?  Find more amazing salvaged items at Nancy's shop at The Barn right here in Downtown Castle Rock.  I'm sure you will recognize many fabrics she found at Stash.

Last week I went camping with the family, in the woods, in a tent! We had a great time, now it's back to work. When I arrived at the shop Thursday morning there were boxes waiting for me, then more boxes arrived that afternoon, and still more Friday afternoon. I'm finally caught up. Inside those boxes were:

New bolts of Fecility Miller Gypsy fabric.

Skacel lace-weight Filigran in beautiful blues and neutrals. This skein is 656 yards of wonderfully soft 100% superwash merino.

And new books too! Joel Dewberry's book Sewn Spaces may be my new favorite sewing book. Great patterns for all the spaces you work, play, and live. Sandi Henderson's Sewing Bits and Pieces has 35 projects to help use up all your fabric scraps.

Just a small sample of what you would see of Amy Butler's newest fabric line LOVE

I have to say that I really do love, love, love what she has come up with this time around.

Oh, the possibilities...

What was old, is new again!

I know most of you felt the way I did when I heard the Amy Butler Lotus line was no linger being printed. But alas the fabric gods heard our prayers and 10 of the most favorite Lotus prints have returned and are now at Stash!!! Here you see a small sample.

New Amy Butler Patterns and Anna Maria Oil Cloth

I'm so excited about Anna Maria's newest oil cloth. I can't wait to sew up something wonderful with this amazing fabric!

I can't decide witch of these new Amy Butler patterns to whip up first!

New Erin McMorris Park Slope

These were fun checkbook covers to make.

I found a great pattern and tweeked it a little to add strap and the pearl snap closure.
