Keeping Busy, But Not Quilting
For the last couple of days I have had a table at my quilt guild to sell no longer needed items — my plan was to re-home some books that I no longer need. Mostly traditional or beginner or historical that I haven’t opened in forever that are taking up valuable space that art quilt books want to live in. There were hundreds and I sold 35!! Not too bad! I also sold a wonderful Pfaff sewing machine that I didn’t need, since I also have my Bernina and a Viking for back up. And one of my 12 X 12 pieces mounted on stretched canvas – “For Wrent”. And some acrylic template sets and stabilizers and other stuff I’ll never use. It was a very successful endeavor that I may have to do again!
Today I am off to staff the Topeka Art Guild Gallery all day long – it is going to be a very cold day with the possibilities of snow flurries in the afternoon – yuk! So being inside is the thing to do. Maybe I will have time to think about my next project.

At least you had the courage to ‘weed’ out unwanted things. I’m always afraid that I’ll ‘need’ it later. Nita does go through and helps thin some of it. I can always ask her for it back.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

That’s a good plan! I only sold things that I was sure I wouldn’t need later since I no longer enjoy piecing traditional blocks. Didn’t sell any fabric, though I am sure there is plenty I’ll never be able to use. Perhaps next year!
