For a year in 2013-2014 I tried to sew only from my stash. I hadn't quilted in almost 10 years and didn't really know where to start. Using stash fabrics freed me to try new things. I stuck with small projects in the hope I could sew something every month.
Many of these projects use fabrics that are over a decade old. It was a challenge to make them feel up to date.

| Fall Table Runner - 2013 |
This table runner was my first stash project and was completed in September 2013.

| Valentine - 2014 |
This tiny quilt was a gift for my husband on Valentines day. We celebrated our 20 year anniversary in 2014.

| Poppies - 2015 |
I love this fabric so I kept it whole. This table covering is hand quilted with chunky embroidery thread.

| Halloween Table Runner - Front - 2014 |

| Halloween Table Runner - Front - 2014 |
This Halloween table runner is one of my favorite stash project. The colors are so festive. I'm not sure if I prefer the front or the back.
 |
| Spring Table Runner - 2014 |
This is a whole cloth runner. I just love this fabric and couldn't bear to cut it up.

| Wandering Geese - 2014 |
Wandering geese is the only quilt from this year I would consider modern. It was an experiment in improv piecing. This was my last stash project.
