Quilt History Books for Sale

March 10, 2010  |  New Ideas  |  No Comments

I have been asked to sell a couple of boxes of quilt books for someone else.  I separated out the quilt history books so I could give y’all first crack.  Although I am salivating at some of them, I haven’t purchased any for myself:-((

.

Most of them look like they were purchased new and just put on the shelf without even being opened.  The older ones appear to have been purchased at a used book store.  Some of the used books are a little shelf worn.

.

I made a list, put it in PDF form and uploaded it to http://quiltbug.com/PDF/books-for-sale.pdf The prices shown is the amount she hopes to sell these for on Ebay. I can sell these for 75% of the price shown until Saturday, March 13 (because there won’t be any Ebay fees.)  If there is no price, make an offer.  I may not be able to get back to you immediately as she doesn’t have E-mail.

.

I can accept credit cards and paypal through the shop.  Books will be shipped by priority mail, with insurance on the more valuable pieces. All books subject to prior sale.

.

If you have any questions, please contact me directly at krisdriessen@yahoo.com .  Really, how often do you find these books at a such a savings?

Linda Poole has a great article on her blog about traditional New Years Day celebrations.  We started one ourselves in 2000 – the New Years Day mystery!

.

Each year, I like to present a mystery that teaches something new – a new technique or ruler.  This year I tackled Paper Piecing.  It’s my most challenging mystery yet – join us at http://quiltbug.com/Free/crossed.htm!
