To kind of go along with using the stash, Stephanie had a great idea to have 'Fabric Friday' to LOOK at the stash. This found stack fits in with that perfectly.
A quilter nearby decided to destash her, as well as inherited (from and Aunt and Mom), quilting cottons. I was hoping to luck upon a hidden mine of feedsack prints....but alas it was mostly floral and novelty prints. Although, all very nice quilt shop quality - 10 huge bins worth! This pretty little pile of fat quarters is hand dyed cotton by Cherrywood. And a real deal at $5 for all three yards. They should fit in nicely with all the Kona that has been added recently :)
It was fun to chat with her while I dug through the bins. Wish I had thought to take a picture of the quilt hanging in the dining room. It was the one thing she asked for from her Aunt's estate - beautifully pieced and had wonderful, dense hand quilting. The pattern was quite modern looking but was obviously made long ago.
I have a tutorial/activity to teach at the Chicago Modern Quilt Guild meeting on Sunday, AND that day is my blogiversary. So I'm off to gather supplies and find a fun giveaway for you all!

What a great fabric find Angela! Such beautiful colors, enjoy your self this weekend!
I believe Cherrywood is based in Brainerd MN... there is a neat post on Rosebuds Cottage about them you might find of interest.
What pretty fabrics you got, and that quilt on her wall sounds gorgeous! All those fabrics together remind me of sherbet :)
Umm you need to go back and take a picture of that quilt. Please? Hahaha :P Love the colours you picked... like a fabric rainbow :)
Beautiful fabrics! Good luck and have fun with your presentation!

You were in the right place at the right time to help your quilter friend destash! Love those fabrics. I wish I could take your class - good luck!
Pretty pictures! Makes you want to reach out and pet that fabric. Have fun at your Guild meeting! I would love to hear about it.
What a fun find! And the quilt sounds wonderful!
Are you looking for some feedsack fabric? Authentic or reprints? I have a bin of authentic feedsack fabric some that have not even had the chain stitching pulled out. E-mail me if you are interested.
