Stash update May 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.
This month I kinda caved in, and bought myself some very sorely needed new ergonomic thimbles and an ergonomic seam ripper. I threw all my old seam rippers away. And I don't miss them at all!
I also finally bought the white Perla fabric I needed to complete my Sawtooth stars quilt!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of my maternal aunts had done some destashing,
and these were the things she sent me.
After I had gone through all the plastic bags,
throwing away all the yarns that were brittle and
all the supplies that weren't anything I could donate to
either the children's daycare or other people,
those I put into my own stash.
Like e.g. all these cotton Christmas ribbons.
When my mother and father came for a visit, we took the children
on a flea market round to find some more pants for my little boy.
I also happened to find this quilting fabric there.
I was surprised at how many nice things I found at Palosaaren
kirppis flea market - usually I find more stuff for the children there.
Now, these were the things I -really- needed:
I found some wooden frames at Comboliina, and
those I thought I could use for either my own quilty
memories or for the children's art projects.
And then, finally, I could get to buy the much needed white Perla
cotton fabric I need to finish my Sawtooth stars quilt.
At the same time, I went into Halonen's sewing supply store,
and bought Gutermann Mara thread, one more can of spray glue
and a few patches of cars and butterflies for the children's clothes.

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".
