I saw you speak at the Ottawa Guild in Illinois several (time flies, who knows) and I remember you said people always asked what you do with all the extra quilts and you said you would know when the time came. It wasn't time. It's time now and I'm sure it'll be hard but you'll enjoy the faces on the receivers.Linda K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15072072180419743181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-2250935468307242442021-09-17T19:20:56.603-04:002021-09-17T19:20:56.603-04:00The downsizing struggle is real but you will feel ...The downsizing struggle is real but you will feel so much better when the Walburg house is on the market. The relief is palpable and the weight that is lifted when it sells is amazing. At the moment it is a good time to be selling. Make the downsizing a priority and you will be happy you did.Ptcquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05614206775741358446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-30331173554714676312021-09-17T16:14:11.407-04:002021-09-17T16:14:11.407-04:00I think you will love downsizing once you do it!

When I get it bound I will post a photo. I took your workshop during our Seven Sisters Quilt Show in 2018.

Hmmm...I have these units that need a home, how can I put them to good use? And then something serendipitous grows out of bonus units or excess strips or whatever, and ends up being something I really like.<br /><br />Good luck on the swapping furniture/downsizing project. Can I throw you an idea? For the quilts you're going to gift to loved ones, if they're patterns you've taught, included in your books, etc. and that are familiar to your readers, maybe there could be a sort of featured farewell post on each before you 'thank it' and send it on its way? I don't know about others, but I'd love to hear one last time what you remember about making that quilt, how/why you made the choices you did while piecing it, what inspired the design, etc. Bonnie's Greatest Hits! :)Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09232459401326203771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-63329670244155876612021-09-17T13:29:45.411-04:002021-09-17T13:29:45.411-04:00I LOVE downsizing!

I keep telling the hubby that if he sits in one place too long, he may end up in a donation box!😂😂.

I declutteted a lote, especially my late husband’s stufff. He was a woodworker, a reloader and a fishing enthusiast. Soo many things. I can truthfully say he had as much or mote stuff from than I have quilting stuff! The old house is sold, and empty, but I have 3 outbuildings which must be gone over before the new family moves in.

Love what you...Wonderful blocks and so fun to make. Love what your creative mind comes up with. We recently sold our home. Mom has been living with us and we moved her back to her home along with us. We purged as much as we could and stored the rest. We moved in with mom, only our clothes, food, my sewing machine and some fabric. My long arm is also stored no room. Mom is 94 and we'll be with her until she isn't with us any more. Unsettled is difficult at best, but we all do what we have to do. So happy I have quilting as a go to, it's beyond therapy. Thank you. for all you do for each one of us. I understand completely where you are.

Not the ones gifted, unfinished but the ones you have ready for trunk shows, on beds, ready to share and ones in the cupboards. Just curious. My cupboard is getting full with quilts. Still deciding whether to gift them or keep them. I know you have some aside for your classes or your trunk shows. It’s hard to give a total but an approximate would be great.ButterZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13084063742704511352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-1719515238530133912021-09-17T10:15:04.774-04:002021-09-17T10:15:04.774-04:00Downsizing, ugh!

Now we have made the decision to sell our winter home on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Soooo, we will be downsizing AGAIN. Even though we plan to sell it furnished, still need to downsize to prep for staging. Oh my, my large metal “Catfish in the Cradle” will need to find a new home also.

I am amazed at all you and your husband accomplish at the Quiltville Inn. I am off to spend the day with friends making pineapple blocks.
