Spring Cleaning

Did you happen to watch "Oprah" yesterday? It was another show in the "uncluttering your home" series. One specific thing that Peter Walsh said really made me sit up and take notice. He said that "surfaces are not meant for storage". If you saw the surfaces in my sewing room, you wouldn't know what the countertops actually look like.

So, I decided to unclutter them and thought I would offer some of my Moda Fat Quarter bundles to my blogging friends. Soon I'll be setting up and Etsy and/or Ebay store to start getting rid of all my excesses but wanted you to have first dibs here.

If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me. Payment can be made by either PayPal or a check. I will ship USPS (Post office) in Flat Rate/Priority boxes. The cost will be either $10.35 or $13.95 depending on how much you order and how much I can stuff in a box!!!

Here we go. The name and price will be UNDER the picture.

I've read one of Peter's books. I was highly impressed. I hi-lighted the heck out of the thing! LOL. And girl, I guess you are cleaning!

Sandy F said...

Wow, good for you. I would take some of those of your hand, but guess what I have most of those!!
Oh boy, I guess I should declutter also.

Yvette said...

Holy Moly! Thats a whole lot of towers you have!

They are all so beautiful!

Sherri said...

Wow...I am seriously impressed with your stash...if those were mine I don't think I could bear to get rid of them!

A lots of great fabrics but I´m intressed in this one Sanctuary by 3 Sisters. 25 FQ's. $38.00 if no one have buy it .. You could mail me at marica@englating.se

Oh, I did this a month or so ago and sold off so many fat quarter bundles. In fact every Kansas Troubles bundle I owned is gone and quite a few others. I still have the task of selling more but I haven't gotten myself organized. It's the way to go. I personally believe that having so much stuff is like an anchor. My buzz words for 2005 were "downsize" & "simplify" - we moved from a very large house to a much smaller place and tons of stuff did not come with us. Now, sadly I didn't do that with my quilting stuff but am working on it slowly! Peter Walsh taught me quite a bit when he was on "Clean Sweep". Have fun!

Candace said...

Wow - now I don't feel so bad about my stahsh, Anne - LOL! I would take a lot of these, but then I would just have to pack them up and move them (that is unless you come up with some wool you want to get rid of!!)!! Good luck - I suspect they will all go in a hurry.
Cheers!

Anne said...

Marica, I tried to email you but it came back as "undeliverable". Please email me at abryson@bendbroadband.com.

Thanks, Anne

Linda said...

Wholly cow - what alot of fabric towers!! I was hoping I'd come across some of Moda's Chocolat line by 3 Sisters. If you do, please let me know and I'll buy it from you immediately. It's my favorite all time line of fabrics.

Good luck on the clearing.

I wish I had lots of money as I would buy all of them off you. I love them all and I wont watch that Oprah show as I will feel the need to declutter my stash and I really dont want to do that just yet :) I hope my husband doesnt watch it either or he will be telling me to declutter it too. But then he needs to look at his clutter first tho :)

Lordy be Woman!! I think I have or have sold all of those bundles too. lolol Did we shop together??
Looks like your doing some serious cleaning house.

I found your blog by way of Red Geranium Cottage, and was tickled to see you live in Bend. My parents moved there from the east coast about 3 years ago and it is great to learn about some new antique malls and shops I haven't gone to yet (Prineville and Redmond antique mall). We are hoping to make it out again for Christmas this year!!

I am contemplating your stack of 40 Fig and Plum FQs if they are not already taken. Maybe I can arrange for my mom or dad to pick them up, mom will be visiting me here in Ireland this summer!!

I love all the quilts you've done and envy your great quilty friends and the tons of perfect gifts that seem to be exchanged between you! We have a lovely group here in my village, but there are only a handful of quilt shops in the ENTIRE COUNTRY here, all selling yardage at over $15/yd so I generally wait till I go my folks for visits to BJ, Sew Many Quilts and Mountain Country Mercantile, and gorgeous Lecien Taupes over in Stitchin Post in Sisters.

My Dear Jane won a Viewers Choice this summer at the Bend Outdoor Quilt Show in August, which is exciting, my first ever quilting award, I did the whole quilt by hand.

I imagine with your gorgeous views from your house you are somewhere up on Aubry Butte! I think Bend is a breathtaking place to be, even though I can't sniff at living 2 minutes walk from the River Shannon, it is beautiful here too!

Have added you to my bloglines to keep up with your gorgeous projects and decor! Enjoying your blog immensely while lazing about on our Mother's Day here!!

WOW, you did some serious selling there missy. Sure wish I'd gotten over to your little sale sooner....
All the ones I like are already gone.
Nothing like making some fast cash and room in your cabinet all at one time.

Happy Monday,
Peggy
