So, rather than be productive today (where's the fun in that?!), I decided it was clean-the-studio-out day! My fabric storage is out of control, and messy too.
I have a vicious habit of hoarding absolutely everything - just look at this piece that has fussy-cut hexies cut from it, This was used on Bouquet Royale. Do you really think I will use the rest of the fabric?!
I went through every stack of fabric, pulling out those that I know I won't use. I applied that "cleaning the closet" rule we all hear. If you haven't worn it in 12 months, toss it. Mine was more like "if you don't think you'll use it in 5 years, maybe toss it". The toss table got much fuller than this.
The upshot of my cleaning (I have fabric coming to start a new quilt...gotta make room!), is that I get to have a little sale. I have some gadgets, some fabric, and some partially constructed goodies that really just need a new home. Please email msolomo1@maine.rr.com if there is anything you'd like. I will combine shipping if possible if you want more than one item. Paypal if possible.

Blocks and yardage: SOLD
These 24 12-1/2" blocks (4 blocks shown below) were made a few years ago as part of a quilt block swap. A couple of the blocks need mending. These are all pieced, and were intended to be a simple alternative to the appliqued tea-leaf pattern.
These also go with the Tea-leaf blocks: ~25 5" blocks in the green fabrics, 1-1/6yds of the spider mum fabric, and the pattern. $18 plus $5 ship
Silk Dupioni Quilt and fabrics: SOLD
Piecing on the quilt is generally very good, although this was my first opportunity stitching interfaced silk. While I like the quilt, I just don't see myself finishing it anytime soon.

These were purchased last year off of ebay at a time when I wanted to make a vintage quilt for an article. When I decided I didn't want to write the article, I no longer needed the blocks. Each hand-pieced block is made of 4 smaller bow-ties. Note that the hand piecing is not perfect. $12 plus $5 ship.
Now I have several offerings of fabric. Many of these are of varying sizes. I will indicate if there is yardage, as opposed to FQ or scrap size. If you are a charity quilter, or like making scrap quilts, BOY have I got a load of goodies for you!
