I had 3 weeks to pack the whole house (by myself) so everything was just shoved into boxes, then shoved into places when we got here. I still haven't dealt with much of that stuff. You are giving me inspiration to start, little bit by little bit. Enjoy your memories as you go thru everything. Those memories are special.Cheryl's Teapots2Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005480747596617459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-40143027822491923542020-10-24T16:15:13.646-04:002020-10-24T16:15:13.646-04:00I’ve been downsizing since mid last year.

He is even getting tired of having to move things every time he needs to get to a certain machine. So, yesterday he had the scrap metal neighbors haul off all the metal, and today we went to the citywide hazardous waste drop off and got rid of a bunch of stuff. He’s a mechanic, so we get all the old car parts and fluids that have to be disposed of. Maybe he’s on a roll and will keep it up. Monday we head for his parents house and clean out dads shop, so stuff will be coming home with us to sell. We don’t have room for it! Keep it up Bonnie! All the time I’ve moved, I would have loved to do it in phases instead of just throwing everything in boxes and hauling it with you. It never seems to leave that way...😬Tammiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16768220423473165353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-16512337284848962982020-10-24T11:24:59.223-04:002020-10-24T11:24:59.223-04:00Dear Bonnie: Love the Halloween quilts and backin...Dear Bonnie: Love the Halloween quilts and backing!

So, pictures of trees in their Fall dressage is extremely appreciated! <br /><br />I was hoping, Bonnie, that you could put the Quilting Hanging Clips that you use on your Amazon site? There’s so many to choose from but some of the reviews say they can’t hold anything heavy, or that they straighten up after awhile, so hoping to get the ones you like. Thank you for all the guidance you provide!JeannieKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13037362502141401103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-63162376063943019542020-10-24T02:30:48.474-04:002020-10-24T02:30:48.474-04:00hanks for including a variety of finished Pumpkin ...hanks for including a variety of finished Pumpkin Patch and Appalachian Autumn. I, too, love he blue bordered one. I kept looking back and forth on these quilts and discovered I like the ones with the more muted background. The blue-bordered one has good contrast, as does the String Star. the less-contrasting backgrounds don't let the objects stand out as much. I like seeing greys in these quilts and will do a bit more looking for a variety of light greys for backgrounds.

We live near a large lake and the fogs are often very thick. If we have as many snows this winter as we had fogs in August, this winter is going to be a doozy. Downsizing/purging a little at a time can be like easing off the band-aid instead of ripping it off. It takes longer but maybe it won't hurt as much.Myrnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08525786361826272287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-88893062838412700832020-10-23T14:32:04.082-04:002020-10-23T14:32:04.082-04:00If you look for Quilt Hanging Clips, or Curtain Ha...If you look for Quilt Hanging Clips, or Curtain Hanging Clips, I think you will find what Verilyn has used.

We’ve given 1/3 of our stuff away this year, just trying to make it easier for the kids, if we don’t make it through the winter. If we do make it, then it’ll be easier for us, when the house sells & we move. Trying to get ready to downsize, & trying to finish projects & stay healthy this winter.

I come up with some unexpected mates, too. The combo just has to make sense to me on some level, or tickle me, or otherwise feel satisfying in some way. Might seem like bizarre choices to others, but if they please me when I see them in the quilt, that's what matters.<br /><br />Nearly Lemoyne is turning out so lovely, so sparkling! I really like the 'Nearly Broken Dishes' units that happen where the sides of two blocks meet.
