Cleaning Out - Magazine Deaccession

So, I started the sewing room clean-up.  So far, I've gone through my quilting books and magazines.  There's no getting around it, I have limited space, and must deaccession some of my collection or else live with piles of clutter. 

I'm offering these things to you here; if they don't sell here, I'll try eBay later.  Description and price is below each photo.  If you want something, leave a comment; I will reply with an invoice via Paypal (if you would rather send cash through the mail, that's ok, just let me know). 

Books and magazines for now but I'm sure some fabic will make its way here soon.


Often referred to as the "happy Japanese quilt book," this paperback has instructions for many different small blocks, similar to the Farmer's Wife blocks that were popular a while back.  The book also features many small projects and the quilt shown in the photo below.  The book is entirely in Japanese but has detailed photos plus line drawings accompanying the directions.  I've found I can figure most things out from the pictures and the numbers.  And it's so dang cute to look at!

I need to find another way to store some of my finished quilts.  You can only put so many on the spare bed before it takes on a Princess and the Pea look.  What do you do with your finished quilts?

  2. Ladders,I have started collecting them to use around the house I love the way quilts look on them and you can change them out for the seasons.

  3. Your quilts are so gorgeous that it's a crime to hide them under other quilts! I love the ladder idea, and I love the sidebar photo of the one hanging on the staircase. I haven't made a quilt yet, but your blog is inspiring me to get going.
