If I ever show signs of taking on a project like this again - making an inventory and staging a giveaway of another crafter's life-long stash - someone, anyone, please give me one "upside the head" as they say in da Bronx!!! There's still all the sewing fabric and notions to catalog and photograph and post. I simply dread going through all that and am tempted to just pack it up and hide it in a closet. My husband has suggested that as my mother sent it to me, I should send it to my daughter. He has a very cruel sense of humor. Besides, if I don't keep my vow to stitch from stash, that poor girl is going to have to go through all my own stash someday. This whole experience has strengthened my resolve to stitch from my own stash so Ange never has to face this sort of thing.

I would gladly accept the Christmas ribbon and trim. Please let me know what to send for postage. Thank you also for taking the time to do this. I know it would be much easier to take it to a thrift store but at least this way, fellow stitchers can make good use of it =)My email is thecrossens "at" comcast.net

Nic said...

Yes, the thought of someone having to go through my stash ... well, it gives me shivers. It's been bad enough doing it myself for "The Year of the UFO" but it's been so good to see that people are willing to adopt the flingees...

It must be really hard to give them away. Your mum must had spent a lot of money on them. If you don't mind sending them to Denmark, I would like to have :

m] 5 & 1/2 yds of 1/4" baby blue "rose" cord
n] 11 yds of 1/4" blue and white "rose" cord

How much would you want for them + shipping fee? Would you prefer GC or via Paypal?

Hello,
Thanks a lot for your generosity.
I would be interested in the wide eyelet from Group 9 (3rd photo), as well as by a spool of 5/8" ribbon in turquoise & a spool of 3/16" ribbon in pistachio green.
Would it be possible for you to let me know how much this would cost, approximately? and if it would allow me to ask for more ribbon if you have some left?
Thanks a lot.
My email is linedupuy hotmail fr.

A great perspective for stitching from your own stash! I'm working on that perspective this year as well (and probably years to come!) as my family would never value my stash for what it's worth to another stitcher. Good luck on getting to the bottom of this immense stash.

I would love to re-home any of the "trims" you are giving to a new home. I do finishing and can always use more. hugs, karen

Hi, Your great!! Do you have any lace left? I just found your blog. Never been in a blog before. I make AG Doll clothes and any small 1/2" lace would be great. I am also looking for some eyelet lace about 1 1/2" with some color on it, like 1K or 1L. Please let me know if you have any left. Thanks so much. ljs5473@gmail.com
