Come Stitch With Me

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.

If you are interested in discontinued Waverly’s Keepsake Check fabric in Hunter Green (6 yards) or Currant (10+ yards), shoot me an email.

I am a shop local kind of girl.  I do my absolute best to support my local mom & pop stores, mompreneurs and even the local big box craft retailers before I buy online.  Sadly, today I had to remove a mompreneur (and friend) from my sources of supply list.   She doesn’t respond to calls, texts, emails or FB.  I’m not placing an order and paying shipping charges via the online portal for something I pick up two neighborhoods over, nor can I waste anymore time trying to track her down.

So, I moved to an online retailer, purchased what I needed and added some other goodies to meet the dollar amount for free shipping.  Fortunately, the company is still Georgia based, so my money is still staying somewhat close to home.
