Catching up on my fabric tracking 2026 – with an akward three quarter report ;)
The first fabric addition is actually from an order on Dec 28. Of course, it was sent and received in 2026. Besides some notions, I ordered the Kona Cotton Wander and Nocturne (COTY – Color of the Year) fabrics (top two in the top pile). It was a fairly small addition to grab the colors before they might become unavailable.
The small usage for the Oleander Pouch does not really make any dent here ;)

In April, I ordered from the States. So a bigger addition.
Besides the Alison Glass fabrics for my stash (bottom pile), I ordered for current projects. The Anna Maria Horner fabric is planned for a simple new shopping/pool bag. The two yellows are binding options for my Tambo Star quilt, and the last two are wideback backings for Cabin Flower and Scrappy Gems.
As I have not yet finished any quilts – even though I did make a lot of progress – this constitutes a huge rise.

But I am happy with my purchase choices. Everything was thought through. No spontaneous buys. And while the AG design is bigger than expected – poor research on my part – I like it and hope to find a way to incorporate it. If not in a quilt, then someday in a bag…
In July I saw the fun Ruby Star Society Halloween prints on Instagram and could not resist. So I rounded out the order for a full package with other Halloween “possibles”. Still with the idea to recreate my Halloween quilt in the same or slighly modified colorway. I am still miffed that I did not like that batting.
Thankfully – for this report and the WIP list – I had two finishes in September: Tambo Star & Ombre Gems. Still need to post about the second one, but I promise it is well and truely done ;)
