Snowing in San Antonio, Tx

No, it's not really snowing in San Antonio..........but I can dream, can't I?

Living here is wonderful in the wintertime, but my heart always longs for the glistening sparkling crystals on fresh snow.

So it is that I'm always  looking for Christmas prints that have snowmen on them, or snowflakes, with glitter resembling the glistening sparkles.  Here's the post where I first showed you this fabric.   
I  also found the perfect white tonal with circles on it that look like snowballs.........where?....... in my stash.....amazing!  When I make a "find" in my stash of something that is just what I need, I get so excited.  Sure does justify having a HUGE STASH, doesn't it?     Here's a  couple pictures of what I made. 

Table Runner 21" x 41"

Here's the back of it.....simple wavy lines, along with stitch in the ditch... for the quilting.

6 Mug Rugs/Candle Mats 9"x9"

And the backs........with the blue plain matching the  scarves color on the snowmen!   Another stash find......ta da!

The Table Runner and mats are available for sale in my Etsy Shop.

Storing (Hiding?) Your Stash!

If you need more ways and places to store (hide?) you fabric stash, I've found the answer!

The last time I bought a blanket it came in one of those big heavy zipper plastic bags.   Boy, those are wonderful for storing quilts, blankets, afghans, heavy winter jackets, etc.

But, by far the best thing I use these for is to store my ETSY Shop quilted items in them.  Keeps them clean, free from dust, and all in one place.  When I sell something I can find it quickly and easily.

But....(wonder why there's always a 'but' with some of my ideas??)  I was running out of room in the ones I had, so I did a search on Etsy and

sure enough I found a bunch of them.

I bought 20 of them and they are just what I needed.   The size is perfect and these will fit under my bed or sofa.   Again....store (hide?) your fabric stash?

Here's where I found them:
