Binding & Destash Day!

Two beautifully long arm quilted quilts arrived back from Sew Shabby Quilting Melissa this week, my Emmy Grace and my Autumn Sun quilts! Today's plan is to make my binding and finish them up for hopeful picture taking this weekend!



At noon (EST) I plan to do a second Anna Maria Horner destash!



I stayed up extra last night bundling some more of my precious out of print Anna Maria Horner fabrics to offer in a second little destash today. The last time I had a scrap bundle destash right here on my blog and although it worked out well, I'm going to give my Instagram a turn this time. Be sure to follow me over there if you're interested!



Each scrap bundle will include approximately 1 yard of colorful AMH fabric scraps by weight and will vary in prints from several out of print collections. They are $15 a piece plus shipping, and I have just 20 bundles to offer today. All bundles will be shipped first class with tracking at $4 for USA residents. International friends are welcome to these scraps as well, but I will have to send the bundle in a flat rate envelope so the package is track-able, which is pretty pricey. 



These will ship today for those of you who would like one and can pay right away. I'm offering just one per person this time and am not able to take any requests as they are already packaged into my mailing envelopes. Please join me on Instagram at noon EST, leave a comment with your Paypal email address to claim, and the first twenty to do so will receive an AMH bundle!

Is sold out!

Thank you!  ♥ Maureen

AMH Scrap Bundle Destash : :

I stayed up last night pressing and bundling some of my Anna Maria Horner fabric scraps to offer here in a little destash today. The last time that I had a scrap bundle destash right here on my blog it worked out wonderfully, so I'm going to try it again! It was nice to be able to include those of you don't have Instagram. 



In each scrap bag you’ll find a range of fabrics from several Anna Maria Horner fabric collections including quilting cotton, voile, flannel, sateen, and out of print fabrics!  These are the strips, charms, and pieces in sizes perfect for patchwork, leftover from my herringbone quilts and the dozens of sewing projects I've created using Anna Maria's designs!





Each scrap bag will include a cute yet heavy-duty, usable, 10 x 12 inch 100% cotton drawstring bag filled with approximately 1 yard of colorful fabric scraps by weight and will vary in prints from several collections...







They are $15 a piece plus shipping, and I have just 15 bags to offer today. All bundles will be shipped first class with tracking at $4 for USA residents. International friends are welcome to these scraps, as well, but I will have to send the bag in a flat rate envelope so the package is track-able, which is pretty pricey!

These will ship today for those of you who would like one can pay right away. I'm offering just one per person this time and am not able to take any requests as they are already packaged into my mailing envelopes. Please leave a comment with your Paypal email address to claim, the first fifteen to do so will receive an AMH scrap bag!

& thank you!

Rainbow Bundles : :

Yesterday, while I read your very helpful suggestions and began to sort my fabrics by color, I looked across the table at all the colorful piles and I decided to begin my destashing with rainbow bundles!



Each bundle will be $8, weighs at least 5 oz, and contains eleven to fifteen different designer quilting cotton fabrics in cuts measuring on average 9" x 11" or more. I plan to share this detash on my Instagram at 11 am EST today. I will share my rainbow bundle photo above, with the amount of bundles I have available today, and ask that those interested simply leave their paypal email address for me to invoice. All bundles will be shipped first class with tracking at $3 for USA residents and first class international without tracking at $6 per package for those in Canada.

I'll continue to destash MANY more rainbow bundles, color bundles, volume bundles, designer/collection bundles (mostly AMH), and scrap bags, as I get them ready throughout the next couple of weeks!

As always, thank you so much for your amazing support!  ♥  Maureen

Fabric Destashing : :

With each finished sewing project & quilt comes more precious scraps that I tuck away into drawers, bins, and boxes!



I have so much difficulty letting go of anything usable and even more trouble admitting that lately it feels as though my fabric stash is stifling my creativity more than it is helping it. These days it feels a little overwhelming and so I've decided it's time to do a major destashing of fabrics, to quiet my shelves a bit, and I'm hoping you're up for it?!



I've started making piles and oh, committing is so hard! I love my fabrics or they wouldn't be here! Reading Faith's, Fresh Lemons Quilts, perfectly timed super helpful post this morning was just the encouragement I needed! Her tips are wonderful, especially since Instagram is where I plan to share my destash, as well!



It's going to take me some time to get everything ready and I'm still not sure on the best way to divide up my fabrics -- by color, theme, designer, manufacturer, all of the above? I know I'll have lots of scrap bundles, which would be my favorite if I were looking to stash! What would you find most helpful?



Be sure to follow me on Instagram if you're interested in joining in! I hope to start listing as soon as tomorrow or Friday if today's purging goes well! I'll be pricing to sell, including the hashtag #thegreatfabricdestash on each post, and the first person to leave me a comment including their email address will receive the stack.



Wish me luck!!  ♥  Maureen
