I might have some interest in the girls dress patterns... it's something I've always wanted to try, but I don't want to go crazy, Zoe won't be little for that long! I could take a look at them next week. Good suggestions here, with library book sale and posts on your blog.Dorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09167997687171327482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1876048627096284071.post-91381480585753568142012-02-09T14:02:34.944-05:002012-02-09T14:02:34.944-05:00Hats Off To You for recognizing what will happen t...Hats Off To You for recognizing what will happen to these things if donated willy nilly. I am wondering if the time of year on caraig's list is part of the slow show? <br /><br />It would seem you need to post to a more direct market...and this blog post might bring the needed attention.<br /><br />I too smocked and have things WAY back in the closet. And I will keep those as I can see doing a project or two if a grand baby arrives.<br /><br />When reading about the Hardanger embroidery, bobbin lace-making,etc. at one time I had an interest but now would not acquire books or supplies.<br /><br />Books, a library book sale might like and more importantly find a happy soul browsing... but then you are left with the supplies.... <br /><br />Happy Days for some person to happen upon these items, just hope it is SOON, so you can finish your project.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1876048627096284071.post-61378324406808351392012-02-09T10:29:28.713-05:002012-02-09T10:29:28.713-05:00Hey Linda,

Maybe they would pay for the postage. I understand your dilemma because I couldn't give all those wonderful patterns, etc., to Goodwill. Possibly a retirement community in your area?<br />The photos of Jill in the dresses are so cute. What a lucky girl growing up with a mother who could make such lovely clothing.

You might sell a few but probably not all. If it were me I'd donate any leftover books to your public library if they have a book sale. That's tax deductible. Our guild has drawings for door prizes...if your guild has anything like that then any leftover quilt stuff might go to them. That's all I can think of! blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1876048627096284071.post-6463041868434683212012-02-07T18:15:27.028-05:002012-02-07T18:15:27.028-05:00Hi Linda - I've put my thinking cap on :)Hi Linda - I've put my thinking cap on :)leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08907659541783694577noreply@blogger.com
