Did you download your worksheets and are you watching my daily videos on this?

*** My handy list of places to sell your items ***

• FB market place,

• Ebay,

• etsy if you are a seller of things there

• your one FB personal page (kind of like an online garage sale)

• if in a guild see if they are doing an event where members bring their things to sell.

• Sellers group at FB, NOT in people where this is not the focus.

• Instagram Destash  - a bit less effective unless you have quite a few friends there. but you can try it with hashtag #destash

• Reseller stores, consignment shops, some focus on craft material .. look around your area as you don't want to have to ship anything. Also check with Churches for yard sale opportunities

They are hand pieced so I had someone from my quilting group hand quilt them. She mentioned that they were at least before the 1920's because some of the fabric.
