I don't know why this always happens to me - but... when I am away from my studio for any period of time, I come back, and all I can think about is cleaning up! I really should just want to sew, but noooooo , my brain says - lets reorganize!!
A stack of Yellows |
and So - with all of my strong men home ( see there is a benefit to covid) I started reorganizing!!
I have my own bathroom in the studio - and since it is just me, I might have batting stored in there ( and then I run upstairs to use the other bathroom - weird right?) I decided it was time to move it all, and behind it! I found fabric!! Which led to other fabric, which led to....
Leftover Minkee from the backs of quilts |
Finding Denim Fabrics left from My Maternity Clothing company!! I was one of the first clothing companies on the internet in 1995... mostly then people were just using it as an ad campaign... I had a REAL store - with an order form an everything... and lawsy mercy was that catalog long.... but! I sold the company a few years ago, and I had used most everything I saved.. but denim!.... well I digress....
I used to order fabric wholesale, and I have noticed, that is a hard habit to break.. you know - buying in quantity!!
Purples and pretties |
and so!!
I am sorting through tons of fabrics - Literal Tons - and am starting to list them on Ebay!! I figured this would be a great way to reduce some stash, spread the fabric love, and maybe..... be able to empty a shelf... I mean - lets not get carried away over here alright??
This is where I will be listing my fabrics - Some auctions have already started... some are starting a little later today - and new ones will post each day.... I mean - I can only do so much in a day without getting to distracted.... my bucket list of quilts to make has significantly grown as well!
PS - I might have had a chance to get out in the real world - the world without people and I might have some photos to share ....
Never having done this before, could I buy just one piece out of a 'collection'?
