Fabric for sale, “MiracleStitcher” too

Friday, June 1st, 2012

Hi all…. just a quick announcement.  I cleaned my studio shelves!  That means I have three large flat rate boxes of quilt-shop-purchased, good quality cottons to sell.  I’m asking for $25 for the fabric plus $15 for the postage for each of these three boxes; I checked and the price of shipping in a flat rate box outside the US is crazy expensive.  I’m willing to ship outside the US if you are, but honestly think the postage pushes the price too high (it is $40 just for postage to Canada!):

Box 1: Mostly blue with some pink. $25 (fabric) + $15 (Postage) = $40 in the US

Box 2: Mostly green with some yellow. $25 (fabric) + $15 (Postage) = $40 in the US

Box 3: Earthtones including some orange/rust and black $25 (fabric) + $15 (Postage) = $40 in the US

I also have a “MiracleStitcher” made for a low-shank Janome machine such as the 6500.  Does NOT fit on the high-shank models such as the 6600 or 7700.  You use it to make fringe and other decorative stuff… in the original box.  Asking $15 plus postage (probably not more than $4 or 5 within the US).  You can see information here.

If you are interested, please use the contact me link in the menubar above on my website.  I can send you an invoice via PayPal.  You can then pay be credit card or paypal (you do NOT need to have a paypal account, just a credit card).  Let me know which box interests you! 

Here’s a little more information:  So why am I getting rid of fabric?  Well… these are mostly prints.  And my style has developed to where I use pretty much only batiks or hand-dyed cottons (by me) in my work, so I decided I needed to lighten the load on my shelves and send these beauties along to someone who will use them!   (As a matter of fact, I had to snag back a few just for sentimental or “just love this” reasons.)   Some of the fabrics may be missing a corner or a strip because I used part of the fabric, but the boxes are all full–not jammed tight, but full.

Zoot pieces, workshops and displaying pieces

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

Just a quick “business-y” note:

I’ll be…yippeeee!!!!!….. heading off to a workshop at ProChem in Fall River, Mass., next week. I’m taking the second week of Color Mixing for Dyers with Carol Soderlund. I head down on Monday (and hope to stop at the new Ikea near Boston en route), about a 6 hour drive if I were to go non-stop (not!). I have blogposts set to publish while I’m gone….

The next set of posts will be closeups of the pieces at Zoot Coffee House (see earlier post dated October 3rd). If anyone is interested in purchasing one, just drop me an e-mail either through a comment here or via the contact me link on my website (look up at the top menu bar for the hotlink). I’m not sure if I’ll have internet while in Fall River, so if you don’t hear from me until I get home next weekend, it means no Wi-Fi!

Finally, Dianne in Annapolis had a great question: how exactly do I mount those pieces on the canvas? Perfect for a tutorial. PLUS, I had mounted the pieces I made for the two “On the Edge” articles in Quilting Arts Magazine (about finishing the edges of quilts) and wanted to blog about display alternatives. So, when I get back, I promise to show a couple of ways to do this. I really gotta convince a publisher to let me do edge finishes and display alternatives as a book, or else self-publish! Too many ideas, never enough time. Anyway, keep popping back in for more good stuff –with pictures– starting tomorrow!

New Blog Address!

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

As many of you may have noticed, my blog has changed appearance! That is because webmeisters extraordinares Gloria Hansen and Derry Thompson of Gloderworks.com have been doing an update to my site. I’m still working on my part of things, but on the blog side, I’d invite all of you to change your links to the new blog address:

www.sarahannsmith.com/weblog/

The Blogger address will continue to be valid, for a while at least, and will (thanks to Andrew, who works for G & D) automatically forward you to the new address.

Thanks to all of you who surf in regularly, from time to time or just once in a blue moon! I promise to get a “proper” blogpost up soon!
