Stash update June 2019

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think this listing one stash update per month is a bit better than listing them each separately. I think it might make me more consistent with trying to stay under 40 euros a month on quilting supplies.

Then came June.... and I had to leave Vasa for nearly a week to go to Hanko and complete two intensive courses in pedagogy. With me, I took some hand sewing EPP blocks for both R(ed) is for Rita and my Secret Hearts quilt.  I took the most boring pieces I could with me - just so I would be forced to finish them if I had any leftover time.

I didn't have time to second hand/thrift shop for anything other than one pair of pants! Because I sorely needed a pair! Such is life when you pack in a hurry...

However, after that Hanko-trip me and the family spent Midsummer in Kirkkonummi with my elderly parents, and then I went to Ikea to buy something. Yes, I had planned for that very thing.

At Halonen, I again had to stock up with some spray glue

and I bought a pack of self-threading needles, a pack of

milliners 9 needles, and some thread conditioner.

I must say, that thread conditioner was totally crap.

I also bought some more label marker pens

from Suomalainen Kirjakauppa.

Totally forgot to take a photo of them, though

~~~~~~

But this was the "thing" I was a bit nervous about buying,

because I guessed it would totally break the yearly budget.

The parts I needed to make a hand-quilting frame.

My husband bought the wooden planks for ~3 euros and

sponsored the money to buy the clamps (4 x 1,90 euros, and a pack

of mini ones for 4,60 euros)

You can read more about the frame [insert link here].

 Light blue "Ditte" fabric; 105 cm x WOF (140 cm)

4,19 euros

  Dark blue "Ditte" fabric; 102 cm x WOF (140 cm)

4,07 euros

And then those from the As-is bags

 I found in the scrap and end-of-bolt box:

white 41 cm x WOF      1,00 euros

white 64 cm x WOF      1,90 euros

black 136 cm x WOF    3,00 euros

Oh, and my dear friend Johanna had done some destashing,

and donated a LOT of quilting cottons to me when

I was in Hanko on the pedagogy course.

Oh my goodness, that unicorn fabric here

under is an Art Gallery fabric!

The exception here is Pinterest, because I give you permission to pin my photos there IF YOU CITE THEM AS COMING FROM THIS BLOG AND THUS FROM ME.

I understand that Pinterest is useful for saving tutorials and photos for quilting inspiration, because I use it that way myself, and I'm okay with you doing that too - but PLEASE: "cite when you write". Give the creator some credit, will you?

I have nothing against you trying to make something similar, or even selling it, but I'd like to get some credit for being your inspiration. Why? Well, because lots of crafts are passed down from person to person, and it feels nice to be able to say "yes, I taught you how to make that".

What I DON*T LIKE is you flat out stealing my photos and my written text.
