Labor Day Yard Sale

On Friday, Bonnie Hunter over at Quiltville announced she was going to do a linky party for the Labor Day Yard Sale.  I started looking around and found a bunch of fabric I know I won't ever use again.

Long story short - in a former life, I was a crafter who made crafts and gifts to sell  at craft shows.  I stopped doing that back in 2006, and I have all these unfinished projects and fabric for projects that is taking up space. So I took a few pictures and will link up with Quiltville's Labor Day Yard sale and see if I can find a new home for them.

I've tried to price everything to move.  I'll use the proceeds to make charity quilts for Quilts of Valor and Quilts for Kids, and other various charitable organizations next year.


Country Christmas Squares


Up first I have 7 6 sets of 4 strips of this fabric I'll call Country Christmas Squares.  I have 7 6 sets of 4 strips (sorry they're already cut into strips) for sale.  The strips measure approximately 8 1/2" by width of fabric (WOF).  100% Cotton design by Leslie Beck.

I used this fabric to make hotpads, combining it with a solid green or red backing, thermal ironing board fabric and batting.  I sold the hotpads for $2.50 each finished.  Price is $5.00 per set of 4 strips.

 

Up next Birds!  I have a single piece of 47" long by Width of fabric of various birds.  This screen printed fabric.  I'm not sure of the fabric content.  It could be a blend.  This has been around since the 1980s at least!  The background is off white, with mauve and blue in the birds. 

 

The price is $7.00 for the full piece.

SOLD

 

 Cats  -These playful kitties were also made into hotpads... hundreds of them... and also have been around since the 1980s.    This piece of fabric is approximately 2 1/2 yards by 44" wide.  The patches measure approximately 7 3/4" square. 

 CATS are SOLD


The two rows repeat  all the way down the length of the fabric.  The colors are neutral brown to tan and black.

Price for this full length of fabric is $12.00

 Santa's!  These primitive Santa are printed on 100% cotton neutral background 10 across the row.  The patch is 4" x 4 5/8".  There are 4 yards in this piece. I made coasters with this fabric and sold in sets of 6 for $12.  Price for the full piece of fabric (uncut) is $20. 

The picture shows half the width of the fabric (fold to selvedge).










Lastly I have 2  pieces of Debbie Mumm Teapot fabric.  Each piece measures 35" X width of fabric.
The  squares measure approximately 4 x 4 3/4" with 9 squares across x 9 rows for each piece.  I made coasters with this fabric too. 

Cost per piece of fabric - $5.00.

JUST ADDED

I have several hot pad kits made up of this adorable Snowman fabric by Diana Markam fabric.  Each kit contains the makings for 5 hotpatds, 5 ea. front fabric, coordinating backing fabric, ironing board fabric all cut to size, 5 loops
for hanging and a strip of 8 oz polyester batting.  Yes I know poly is not all that heat resistant, but I've used these hotpads many times over several years before they needed to be replaced.

Each kit is complete for 5 hotpads, all you need is thread!  Kits are $5.00 each.  Designs vary, but all are in the same fabric line.





I'm sure I have more fabric to purge, and depending on the response, I'll take more pictures and post them here on my blog.  I also have dozens of books and patterns that I've never used.
