Yard Sale Saturday, Take Three!

This is the third go-round for Yard Sale Saturday! I’m so excited that you are participating with me….if you’ve got a hankerin’ to clear out, clean up, and move out, write your blog post listing your items and come back and link your post to mine below.

There will be some ground rules…These items need to be QUILT RELATED. Patterns, Books, Fabric, Notions, Partial UFOs…whatever you want. This is for gently used –white elephant type items, not new-sell-at-retail-stuff or new crafts you have made to sell for craft shows, etc. You must link your post back to THIS POST, not the whole blog ---we need to keep this post specific so that people will be able to find this post even days from now after it is buried underneath more posts ;c)

You write the post on your blog, you come back here and link it up. It is up to you to decide how you are going to interact with your buyers.

In an effort to save those who are just arriving from having to wade through all of my items to get to the bottom of the post where the linky is found, I've moved it to the top of the page!

This time, after watching and learning from others, I’ve listed my items on Etsy. You can purchase and check out there, no muss no fuss, and if the item is sold it will say sold. If it doesn’t say sold, it’s available!

This is a long post, because I’ve got a lot to list. Books are first, Vintage quilt items follow at the bottom.

**NOTICE!!** All the items listed below are SOLD! Yard Sale Saturday was a great success, and I hope you will join us on future Yard Sale Saturdays. The other vendors listed below at the top of this post may still have items for sale, so be sure to check them out!!

I’ve got quite a few books to unload, I’ve been a book hoarder and these need new homes as I have gleaned all that I can from them. All books are used, but used gently.

Aunt Reka & The Peace Creek Quilters

Publication Date: 2004
"This is the fourth book on the Clothier family's history and quilts. I want to continue telling Reka and Wilford's stories and share women's history and a set of quilt designs from 1900-1929. Reka's quilt group of friends and relatives maintained a long history of making quilts for Navaho Indian missions, World War I victims, and political support for the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) and women's right to vote. Friendship blocks and quilts represent long lasting ties with the Peace Creek Kansas community in Reno County, Kansas". --Terry Clothier Thompson

Isn’t this just the wonkiest thing?! It measures 41” X 62”.

The blocks themselves measure 11.5”

A very wonky plaid quilt! I had the intent to remake this by removing the sashings, squaring up the blocks and sewing all back together, but I know that time will never allow me to do it. The vintage plaids, checks and ginghams are wonderful, and there is a fun bottom border of shirtings and indigoes -- large pieces that could be purposed into another quilt if needed. Selling this for the same price I bought it for, just to move it on to someone who will do something with it. Sale Price: $25.00 Click HERE to purchase! SOLD!

This top needs some help. I bought it thinking I could repair it and complete it, and I know that just isn't going to happen in my life time. This is a vintage piece with stains, thread-bare places and fading fabrics. The fabrics are from the 1930s. Completely hand stitched, the right person could fix this and finish it up with a little love and care. I'm selling it for what I paid for it. It measures 77” X 91”.

The fabrics are wonderful!

Each flower has a yellow center surrounded by pink, and then the lovely 30’s prints, followed by white, and then connected with the green path.

This is the worst of the threadbare flowers. Someone washed this hand pieced top at one point and these seams shredded and came loose. Quilt top sold As Is. Sale price: $45.00 Click HERE to purchase! SOLD!

I found it interesting that this quilt was pieced with partial seaming, shown in the pic above. I always wondered how they knew how to put what/where without strip piecing, and now I know! I'm selling it for what I paid for it. Quilt top measures approx 50" X 50" with each square finishing at 1-1/4".

It would make a lovely baby quilt if you removed the 3 unfinished rows and bordered it and quilted it. That was my plan.

Aren’t the fabrics sweet? Sale price: $35.00 Click Here to Purchase! SOLD!
