It's slower going than I had hoped but, here is a start on my donation/garage sale collection. There are more boxes in the garage. I need to price the garage sale things before I store them so the part that I hate about a garage sale is done. Still have several closets and cupboards to go but I am loving the space I am making plus things look a lot nicer.
Now, I know I should be working on UFO's and what have you but darn, I do this quilting for fun......so I decided to do something fun the other night. I have lots of bits and pieces of bright fabric left from a couple of quilts plus I buy remnants all the time so cut some of it for this braid. I love it! Not sure if I will keep going and make a whole quilt or use this for a border for the bright colored Chinese Coin quilt that I was struggling with this fall. You trim this to 8 inches wide........not sure how to do that and keep it straight. Might need some help on that one so feel free to comment if you have good suggestions. I hope to finish this one tonight as it is rainy and I am not leaving the house.

Looks like you are going to have a great garage sale. I love them. I really like how your braid is turning out. It would make a beautiful quilt or border.

Looks like you are definitely making headway in the "de-cluttering" part. I agree I had the pricing part of a getting things ready for a garage sale.
I tried making one of the braid things one time - or something similar to it. I was having problems in keeping everything in the perfect angle...so just stopped. I believe when some quilting ideas are not fun becausse of all the work and/or problems...just ditch the whole idea..go to something else. Life is too short to bring on problems of which you can control...so much for my soapbox thoughts.
From the looks of my typing on the past comment...I should do a better job of double checking before sending it away...
You seem to be making good, steady progress at the de-cluttering. Keep up the good work.
I love that braid. I've never tried one, but one of the ladies in my Wed. sewing group did one as a border. It really was lovely on her quilt. I can't wait to see yours on a quilt!
That is SO cute!
