I did do some stash damage with Hobby Lobby's 40% discounted week. This was probably the best find. It is a white on white star at 108". I got all of what they had left on the bolt or 3.25 yards at $4 a yard. This will take me a long way on projects down the road. This was the only fabric that does not have a reason to be purchased except that it was a TERRIFIC buy.
You know about Popstar needing a back. This one is perfect. I will be sewing the back to fit the project and off it will go to Maryland.
Next is the sashing and back for the finished cross-stitch project. I selected a complimentary color, but really it could been any number of colors as there is everything in the project. I liked the light teal. The back may also become a second sashing...the decision has yet to be made; there is enough fabric should I decide to go this route.
How perfect could this fabric be as the sashing for the next story book panel project. A you can see it will be all about angels. The blue with the white dot couldn't be any better. I may put a tiny inner border around the blocks in yellow...again a decision pending once on the Design Wall.
So 16 1/2 yards added and soon to be counted as used with most of it going to Maryland. Back to the second half of the Chargers game for me with DH. I have a very cute Halloween project to hand stitch...must keep the fingers busy. Enjoy the first day of October!
