So I had this little idea. You know those lovely little bits that are hanging out in your stash. The ones too good to part with that you know you're not going to use? What if you could sell 'em, swap 'em... in general, send them to a good home. Well, that's what we did this week at our monthly meeting of the MMQG.
Each seller laid out their wares on a table and left a jar for their cashola. Then we went on a shop hop from table to table! I can't say I didn't add anything to my stash... I mean, there was some good stuff there. Like this FQ pack from Nurse Marie (ret.).
Anja @ Anja Quilts had the same one a while back from Sew Sisters and I fell hard and fast for those hamsters. Why? Your guess is as good as mine...
And
Adrienne @ Chezzetcook Modern Quilts had a massive clean-out! I resisted a lot of her goodies, but this Amy Butler stripe had to come home with me. It had to. It can join the other piece I have of it... oh dear.
I ended up taking a lot of my "treasures" home, but it just made it easier for me to transfer them to the donation boxes I keep in the basement instead of having them come back in the studio. And I made a net profit of 2$! Score!
You can read all about our shenanigans from another perspective on
our guild's blog. We're thinking of making it an annual thing! Mentioned in the post is our low volume swap. I was a little apprehensive... low volume can be a tricky, tricky concept to define. But it didn't go too badly... our Swap Master, Amanda, was on high alert!
I particularly like these teal prints... but you'd never have guessed that?
Somehow I ended up with a stack of this print. Hmmm.... I say tone on tone. Someone else says low volume. Thoughts?
Mmm... fabric-y goodness.
Linking up today with
Sunday Stash @ Molli "The Enabler" Sparkles.
Come on, Molli. De-stash. I dare you...
