SUNDAY STASH SALE # 1

Currently, I am de-stashing my enormous fabric "collection", thinning the shelves to have more room for storage. And having LESS makes it easier for me when pulling fabrics for upcoming projects.

After thinking about it for at least a year, I decided it was time to DO IT. How to start? First, I pulled all the fabrics in one color family from the closet. I started with BLUEs. Then I selected those I had to keep, and let the rest go. Next, I gathered fabrics into 5 yard BUNDLES and photographed them.

Wanting to see if there was any interest, I posted photos of those bundles on my local guild's private Facebook group. They got snapped up quickly so I knew it made sense to keep going.

Some is 25 years old, some less than 4 years old, all first-quality quilt shop fabrics. Some is even pre-washed, most is not. A wide variety of sizes, each bundle is at least 5 yards unless noted.

Here is my RED fabric straight out of the closet:

All the RED Yardage, before sorting what I needed to keep

RED yardage that was available for sale

A dear local friend asked to see my REDs before offering them publicly as she wants to increase her stash of RED. Instantly, she bought most of these fabrics. Easy, no bundling, no shipping necessary.

On to the NEUTRALS. I have many of these and need to keep enough for queen and king size backgrounds. But there is still plenty to share:

The hardest thing about this process is the sorting into approximately 5 yards bundles. And the SHIPPING. That is expensive, at least $10 for one bundle and up to $30 for at least 3 bundles. I will ship non-priority to save a little if you're not in a hurry.

Once each month going forward I will have more fabrics for sale. Still to come: BATIKS, ORIENTAL PRINTS, LARGE FLORALS and a LOT of 1800's REPRODUCTION fabrics--those will be the most difficult to part with. And this is just the YARDAGE--fat quarters and such will come later.

Help me, help you! I need breathing room, you get great fabrics at rock bottom prices. If you work with groups making donation quilts or Girl Scouts or church organizations, let them know about this opportunity.

Let's quilt!

The Storm Before the Calm

 Sorting, discarding, organizing, bundling, finding lost treasures--that is what happens when I decide to Destash my Stash.

The little sale has gone well, more than half of the books and fabrics have gone to new homes. If you missed it, take a Look Here.

Just a few photos of the organized chaos this will be until I open the door to my local friends and say "Come and Get It":

Printed Patterns and a bunch of blocks done

Never know what you will find when I destash

Dining Room table for staging

And everybody gets a tote bag--they must multiply

No idea how much longer this will take about I'm guessing at least another week.

We are babysitting our 5 and 2 year old grandkids for 4 nights starting later this week so me time will be limited.

And I'd rather be quilting...

Let's quilt.

Fabrics and Book Sale

 I decided to do a GIVEAWAY of excess supplies and that will happen soon. Local friends and students will be notified when they can "come and get it"--lots of stuff to dispose of, so I can close the closet doors again. 

As you might imagine, it takes time to sort, organize and DECIDE what can go. 

In the meantime, I found these truly great things that need a new home but are too valuable to me to give away. And since my locals always get to come to my sale, this time I thought I would offer these items to YOU first. 

US Shipping only, international would just be outrageously expensive.

Shipping will be $15-20 depending on size of the box and will take as long as it takes--no guarantees any more from the US Postal Service.
