    That's wonderful! I have sometimes found quilting and sewing books at estate sales. Sometimes though the prices are much more. I pick them up if they are reasonable.

    Sometimes I will find a quilt at Goodwill,
    Sometimes at Bargain World, but most often, I get a book from friends who frequent garage sales. I have a nice library of hardbound "year" books of Great American Quilts xxxx published by Oxmoor House. All of my co-workers drool over the photos.
