First up is my SW Oceantide in 28 ct Cashel Linen. I love the color, it is close to a light aqua blue with more blue lines through it. This is going to be used for my Konstantinople and for my Small Hamam Oasis. I haven't started on Konstantinople yet, but hopefully soon I will at least start on the middle. I just cut the yard this weekend and will be able to use this for both.
Here is my PTP Rosewood on 32 ct Lugana. I just realized, which is why I went through my fabrics, that I will not use this on my Butterfly Garden. If Martina has anywhere near the number of beads that she has on Hummingbird, I need 28 ct. I am still thinking of using this on Herbularius. I am not liking the yellow to much on it, but I will wait for a final decision whenever I get my kit.
Not halfway through, so hope I'm not boring you yet!!
SW Golden Promise in Cashel Linen is next. This is not a color I picked, but I didn't know that I could pick all my colors each month for the Fabric of the Month Club. I am now picking all that I want and switched over to Lugana for all my colors for Chats. I do not enjoy the linen so much, I really prefer evenweaves. I had thought about canceling the FOTM before I wrote to the president of SW when I had some problems then found out I could be signed up for the bigger sizes for Chats to fit on! Since I am ordering Lugana, it is cheaper than what I used to pay for one scrapbooking kit a month! I am saving this for my Egyptian Garden.
I ordered this PTP Willow in 32 ct Lugana for my Walled Wisteria Garden. I was disappointed that it came yellow as I thought it was going to be light green. I figured I could use it on something, like a Mira.
PTP Highland Lugana 28 ct is what I decided to use for my WWG, but when I measured I figured out it would not fit. But since I am doing others now I will probably reorder at some point for a 32 ct. The lugana is totally different and so much lighter than I would imagine, but it is a good background color.
Three more!
This is SW Opal Blue Mystery on Cashel that is saved for Evening in the Park. This is one of the first I bought, I just have never started or opened the kit yet.
The lovely SW Ametrine on 28 ct Lugana. I have an Ametrine on Linen for my Mira I started, and no matter what fabric it is on, Ametrine is one of my favorites. They are so different, but I really love the colors. In the end I may still stitch Herbularius on this. I could see using this fabric for all four in the series.
Here is the last fabric I took pictures of. I still don't know what I will use if for, maybe the Fairy Flower Garden. It is SW Opal Rainbow Sparkle in Cashel Linen. This was new when I requested it, the colors are so beautiful. I am used to not many colors on one fabric from the places I order from, so I was surprised that it had so many colors.
Welp, hope you haven't been bored. I took a little break from stitching to organize, so the next posts will be stitching updates, but it probably won't be until next weekend.

What a lovely selection of fabrics! I tend to buy mine as I go but a FOTM club is very tempting....
Oooo love the fabbies :D What size do you normally get for your Chats? I don't normally pre buy for them cause they are so big!
WOW, you've got some great colors!!! I figured out the SW Wishlist after about 8 months of the Surprise me - but I've used a LOT of those, too - I just love their fabrics. I do miss them having Jobelan - I love jobelan for my Chats; but since SW went under Zweigart, they just don't offer it anymore, since it's a Wichelt fabric (or there wasn't enough call for it, maybe?). My Ametrine linen is a LOT darker than your evenweave - but you're right, it's gorgeous whatever fabric it is...
I think I'll have you pick my next Chatelaine fabric - your choices are spot on - and more imaginative than mine seem to be! You start all of those - and then I won't be so tempted to start my 3 that are ready & waiting :)
Gorgeous fabbies, Liss. :D The Opal blue is gorgeous!
Love your fabric stash - you have some lovely fabrics.
Beautiful fabbies, LissAnne. Great colors for your Chats. I'm planning on doing mine on hand dyed fabbies too, but I haven't picked colors yet. Glad you got all organized. It's fun to organize stitchy stuff!!!
Gorgeous pieces of fabric!!!!
