If there is a quilt guild or 2 near you, tell them about your yard sale and people will come by and clean out your stash - one of our old guild members decided to concentrate on doll making rather than quilting and sold off his stash in a yard sale - I enjoyed this because I picked up a trunkfull of fabric for between 1 and 2 dollars a yard (and it was really good stuff!). Our guild pretty much cleaned him out.
anyway, if you have any HOFFMAN CELESTIAL fabric - I will buy it all. (even though my husband will kill me)

I love hand quilting but perhaps you could do small projects with machine quilting or machine applique so that your hands do not take all of the stress. There are so many wonderful and creative projects out there from runners and aprons to totes and purses - maybe something will tweek your interest and creativity.

Blame USPS.

I used to be a member of quiltersfleamarket.com. I never sold anything but bought lots of books and fabrics, even a sewing machine one time. Finally, I decided that I had better get off there, or we would have to move out of the house.
You might try that.
You might try that.
