Hi everyone, If this is OT in some way or against the rules, I apologize but since you all sew I'm hoping for some insight and then advice. I have about 400 appliques-most vintage (i.e. 60s'-70's) but not all. They are thread, sequin, beaded and sequins/beaded, adorable and they cost me an absolute fortune to collect. It's a huge bag and I may be moving and am brutally :-) cleaning things out. I tried to sell them for next to nothing on ebay and no one was interested, then I tried to break them into small groups and sell them for the going rate, again nothing. I finally posted on Craigslist with a photo and told people to make me an offer and they could have them, nothing. I'd keep them for my classroom art projects but I can't bring myself to do that since the were very expensive and high quality. Is there somewhere I can donate them? I mean some sort of sewing related place? Thanks.
