you could list them on freecycle.

I was wondering that too. I have a boat load of cross stitch items. Alot of completed items too that can be worked into quilts. I have completed ornaments, pictures, pin cushions, most of the completed items are from the Prairie Schooler leaflets. I also have cross stitched quilt blocks. I have seen these in quilts too. I don't want to sell on E-Bay either. They take way too much money and I really don't have enough time for that.

***Moderator's Note - needle crafts than can be incorporated into quilts may be sold in our thrift shop if the member is eligible and if the prices are kept low enough.***

You could always do a Pay It Forward and give the stuff away to someone who really wants it.

Ask the moderator if you can sell it here. Since there are at least two of you with similar items maybe they will do a crafty item day once a month her, that could be fun!

What about senior centers they would love to have these. I know you want sell them but maybe donate them and use the tax write off? Just an idea!

those of you who are advising that the items be sold here mean well, but are giving your friend bad advice. ;-)

in order to be sold in our thrift shop items must relate to quilting.

the sheep kit could conceivably be incorporated into a quilt, and so an eligible member could sell them in our thrift shop.

the rest could not be sold through this board ... either through a posted ad or by private communication.

always check our rules before passing out advice. don't get your buddies in trouble. :lol:

sorry, but that will not happen.

we are a quilting board.

our thrift shop is not the focal point of this community. it's a tiny extra and not our purpose for being here. it's important that we not create the impression that we are a selling site.

the local senior center or assisted living place would love to have them! they are always in need to crafty projects.
