Let's Talk Stash

Kelly Young of My Quilt Infatuation recently wrote a book - Stash Statement.  Then she sent me an email. And I burst into a song...


The email was fantastic.
When I received it, I was ecstatic.
Stash Statement Quilts was on its way
Would I like to play?
I jumped in with both feet.
Watch this space, it is going to be a treat.




With rhyme and reason, excitement and anticipation, I have to tell you that today is the day when the Blog Hop for Stash Statement begins. 



The book is full of eye-candy, cool techniques and fabulous patterns. I am already knee-deep in my scraps, applying Kelly's techniques and turning chaos into order.  


Every week, two quilters will showcase one quilt from the book.  Here is the entire line-up. You don't want to miss it.

  2. "Turning chaos into order" is such a perfect way of putting it! Your blocks are gorgeous and will turn into a masterpiece, for sure! Your photos make me want to dig into my scrap bins and do the same. I'll be following along! Congrats!

  9. I"m all about scrappy quilts---especially since most all my fabric is given to me when someone cleans their stash, or I buy at yard sales, second hand shops and estate sales.
