Studio Clean up and Stash Reduction

 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....

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 ....

De-Stashing

Every once in a while I decide to go through a bin of fabric... and I find things that i purchased - but have now decided not to use.  Do you do that?

So I thought I might try to sell a few things.  I have this FQ pack and coordinating Yard on sale:

It is in my Etsy Store : https://www.etsy.com/shop/AlyciaQuiltyGirl   (SOLD!! Thank you!!)

But here is my question for the day.... Do you ever sell your scraps?  I have collected quite a few, to the point that I think it is overwhelming.  I have a lot of them sorted by color. If I tried to take a stack of a specific color and sell that as a *lot*  would that make sense?  Would you buy scraps?  ( and not for a lot - the postage is the big thing I want covered)
