A few months ago I was lucky enough to be a part of the inaugural Australian Travelling Stash, "Sasha" organised by Cassie from
Cass the Coolest. Sasha came to
visit me quite early on (I was the second person to receive her!) and I've been following her evolution as she has travelled around the country. I'm really hoping that once she's returned to Cassie, Cass will decide to send her around again!
Sasha was so popular, and such a success amongst the Quilt Club Australia girls that Bronwyn from
Stop that Owl started another travelling stash, dubbed "Farrah" (happiness) the Fat Quarter Stash. Bronwyn sent Farrah off with 50 assorted fat quarters, and she's been doing making her way across the countryside. Since I had enjoyed participating in Sasha's Stash, I couldn't say no to participating in Farrah!
Farrah arrived on my doorstep on Wednesday, which was a *lovely* surprise! She'd just been to visit Waverlee from
Little Guinea Pigs.

A healthy 1.974kg worth of fabric! |
Oh the anticipation! There's something divine about getting to unwrap presents, isn't there?
Once I'd unpacked Farrah I got to sort through and pick out all the pretties! Some of the fabrics were just so soft and lovely to the touch. It was a hard decision, but I finally narrowed my choices down to 17 fat quarters that I just "had to have".

Look at those pretty fat quarters! |
|
A tower of pretties, all for me! |
Once I'd made my fabric choices I had to raid my own stash to refill Farrah's coffers. I hope they find a happy home in someone else's stash!
|
Bye bye baby! |
|
Farrah as she was when she departed - 2.006kg |
I mixed my fat quarters in with Farrah's, bundled her back up and got her ready to post off to her next stop... I can't tell you where she's off to though, it's a surprise!
YAY!
