De-Stashing to Raise Cash

Last week I started working on a new web site for me: Mishka’s Playground.

While I love the community I’ve built around the Quilting Gallery web site, I wanted a place where my own quilting and quilt designs/patterns can be the focus. Over time, I’ll be adding my own tutorials, patterns and quilts so that they are easy to find in one place.

I also decided last week that I will be giving notice to my current landlord next week and moving June 1st or earlier. In Canada, we have to give two months notice. I swore when I moved here, I’d never move again, as it was so much work and a huge hassle. The movers I had hired were jerks, but that’s another story. My rent has gone up again, as is normal here, but I really think I can get more for my dollar by going elsewhere.

No doubt I’ll be stressed until I find a new place but hopefully it won’t take too long. I have my list of criteria and June’s a good time as many students have left town leaving vacancies in my desired area(s). We’re a big University town.

Anyway, as part of the upcoming move, I’ll be de-stashing as much as I can. I’m currently listing what I have available in fat eighth bundles of hand dyed fabrics. I’ll be adding fat quarters and regular fabrics in the coming weeks too. Moving is expensive and I need to raise some cash for the move too.
