Parting with Quilting and Fabric Art Books

As I’ve accumulated books about quilts, quilting, quiltmakers, and fabric art over the years, I haven’t purchased duplicates, but realize I have some I probably won’t use any longer, or which I’ve gone beyond.  As my daughter explained, “We go on to other types of quilting as we learn.”It’s always difficult for a book lover to part with books, but these, plus the many others my family and I own (6 children and adults) have begun to overwhelm the house and a storage area.

Craig’s List & Yard Sales

In summer, Beth and I make them available at our yard sales.  But that’s sort of impractical during winter in NH. So we’ve begun listing those we can part with on Craig’s List. It’s gratifying when people contact us about our books and are thrilled to find some they’re looking for or with which to expand their quilting knowledge and enjoyment.

So we’ve culled out some of our quilting and fabric art books….probably will find more as we investigate all nooks and crannies of our abode.   This also will give us space to accumulate some new ones!  Such as were on Beth’s Christmas list.
