A bit of good news in a rather crappy day – we have a firm date and time for the closing on this house. The pack and move dates I’d arranged are still good but the unwelcome news is that our stuff will have to go into storage for about 3 weeks, That totally reeks because of the extra expense involved for storage and short term temporary housing. I would much rather spend the money on my new house. But oh well, that’s life.
Turn them into a wall hanging!
A co-worker brought me 15 CR bags from her brother’s collection. We looked at several different CR quilt pictures posted online this is the design she liked best. What resulted is a 40″ x 40″ wallhanging.
Here’s what her brother said about the quilt, “I’m…the proud owner of a beautiful one-of-kind Crown Royal Quilt. My friends hate me and I couldn’t be happier. I want to thank you so much for making it. It is one of my proudest possessions… I will cherish it forever.”
It’s been a little quiet on the blog front lately. Lots going on behind the scenes to coordinate everything in preparation for the move. I’ve shredded more bags of paper than I care to count. The past two days have been spent decluttering the quilt cave. I spent about four hours today going through the last two storage boxes of vintage patterns I was gifted by my friend Diane (note: these things are each about 4 ft long). Now, I have one box total of vintage patterns in decent condition. Now, the fun begins to get them listed in my Etsy store.
I also listed some furniture and home dec fabric for sale on Craig’s List. Some nibbles on the furniture, but nada on the fabric. Not surprising, I didn’t post any pictures because my camera battery died. If I don’t sell the fabric, I might donate it to Habitat for Humanity or some other organization that helps people in need with their housing.
