De-Stash Attack!
Posted on February 1, 2013 at 9:04 3 Comments 0 Likes
There comes a time in every stitcher's life where they look at their fabric stash and say "Time to de-stash!" My taste in designs has changed over the years, and I am tired of looking at the same patterns. Luckily we are currently giving our bedroom some much needed love and that includes adding some color, I am making cool throw pillows - can't go wrong with a throw pillow - for our bed.

- Quilters Show and Tell is back on the net, and i got a hurried submission in just before I left, though not a lot of activity since then. If you can submit some quilts that would be great!

Romilly said… - You're welcome, Liz! I hope the fair goes well for you. If you're interested in custom work, it can be a good place to gather potential customers, too. Just make sure you have lots of business cards. You can sometimes get more business outside of the fairs from people who saw your work IN them. :)
good luck!

Elizabeth Braun said… - Ugh, yes my machine weighs a ton too! One of my teachers asked me if I wanted to take it into the college and let them help me with it, but I can't see myself getting even a quarter of the way to the bus stop with it!!!
I haven't started trying to sell my work yet as I haven't really had time to start making things - I'm really behind with my college work and that has to come first. Will make a start during the summer, I hope, and also see if I can't get a machine as, by then, we will know how much £$£ is needed for time in Taiwan and by when.
