Yard Sale Saturday!

***NOTE*** All of my books listed below have SOLD OUT! The other bloggers in the linky may still have items for sale so be sure to check them out!

Happy Cinco De Mayo! And welcome to Yard Sale Saturday.

My life has been very much “on-the-go” the past few weeks ((or more)) and I did not find time to pull as much stuff to list as I had hoped.

However, if you are looking for some great quilting books, check below! My shelves are breathing easier since I have adopted well love books out to other people who will use them rather than just store them as I have.

If you are new linking up with us for Yard Sale Saturday, there are a few 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.. Understood? Think YARD SALE.

And you MUST have a blog to list items for sale. You can not just link to an etsy store...we want it more personal than that. Etsy is great as a shopping cart, but please link to the blog below. Your own post can direct to Etsy from there.

You must link your blog post back to THIS YARD SALE SATURDAY POST, not just my whole blog --

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. I’m going to use etsy and paypal. This has worked well for me in the past because I don’t have to answer 50 million emails –and then figure who ordered what first.

Please note that you must put the specific URL from the title of your post in the linky below ---any post that just goes to your whole blog (myblog.blogspot.com) instead of the direct post (myblog.blogspot.com/5/4/2012/myyardsale.html for example) will be removed because I can’t fix it for you. The easiest way to KNOW if you are RIGHT is to check the end of the address you are using.

If it ends in .com you are most likely WRONG. Individual urls end in .html not .com ((I know it is a lot to remember, but once you have it down -- it's easier for everyone after that!))

So lets go!

Color from the Heart by Gai Perry

Many books on color theory and color in quilts fail to capture the interest of quilters by dwelling on technical explanations of color theory and ignoring the intuitive choice of color.

In contrast, Perry admits gladly that despite her training as a painter and her strong technical background in color theory, she normally chooses colors with the heart, not the intellect. She emphasizes a hands-on approach to working with color by employing a series of lessons to illustrate seven effective and pleasing methods for choosing colors and fabrics for quiltmaking.

In the process of working through each lesson, the reader learns color theory in small doses while making a small, illustrative wall hanging-size quilt. Seven quilts later, the reader knows how to incorporate myriad fabrics into one small quilt; how to pick a quilt color scheme based on decorative objects, photos, or paintings; and how best to use several tints, tones, and shades of each color in a single quilt. A good choice for all quilting collections.
