Traveling Stash #2

I was the lucky recipient of another traveling stash.  This one had fabric that was more my style.  Also, it had some Tula Pink Flutterby 1/2 yards in it.  How great is that.

Here is the original contents of the box:

See the lovely Flutterby in the left corner

Some nice Honeybuns and some mini-charms

Patterns

This is what I took out.

I love the Innocent Crush voile, Ty Pennington Impressions, Flutterby, etc.  Yeah.

This is what I replaced it with:

Top row has three Art Gallery Girly Girl fabrics, Amy Butler Love, and two Flight Patterns 1/2 yards (all good for bags)

Second Row has thread 

Third Row has blue mirror ball fq (not pictured) , Timeless Treasure 1/2 yard, quarter yard of orange and blue fabric, a fat eighth of original Flea Market Fancy from my stash and two Shades of Blue charm packs

I will pick a winner next Monday.  They are lots of fun to go through and pick up goodies.  

Here are the rules for the traveling stash:

• There is a list of rules and guidelines in the box -- be sure to follow these to keep the box full of quality items and the experience positive for everyone. 
• You may take any items from the box just be sure that you are replacing them with quality and comparable items. (Guidelines for fabric below) 
• Ship box to the next person timely -- and communicate tracking information with recipient.

Fabric and other item Guidelines 

• Fabric should be quilt shop quality and in new condition. Do not include items smaller than a fat quarter unless it falls into one of the other categories and these should be packaged together. 
• Jelly Roll -- 2.5 inch strips (typically 40 strips per set)

Important Things to Remember

• Please ensure that items in the box are quality. If items in the box are poor quality they should be removed. Items that are being removed can be offered for optional inclusion to the next recipient. Poor quality items can be discarded but this should be done with digression. 
• Only include items that you would be proud to own -- this is not a dumping ground for outdated or worn items
