I have 10 big boxes to go through and 2 large trash bags stuffed with new batting. One is king size.
I am still waiting to hear about the treadle machine. I will pay for that but I am sure it won't be an insurmountable amount since they were thinking of putting it in a yard sale.
Sorry I didn't get back sooner but I had to go to my GDs track meet and then to my husband's boy scout meeting to teach some people how to make bows for Christmas wreaths that the boys sell along with trees each year.
I went through one box which had a lot of good old Quiltmaker magazines and a WONDERFUL book by Helen Squire which has dozens and dozens of quilting design patterns full size. The book itself is oversize.
I am so exhausted tonight that the rest of it will have to wait til tomorrow. It is still in the car - 9 boxes yet.
I promise I will get back to you in the morning (east coast time).

I am so sorry this took so long to get to you. I have been busy running around getting ready to go to NJ (we are in Maine) to sell our house there.
Anyway, here are 3 pics of the stash I netted out of all the boxes and a bunch of books besides which are so great, especially the big quilting design book that Helen Squires published through the American Quilting Society years ago.
Now I am just waiting to hear about the price on the treadle machine. Hope I hear about it before I have to leave for NJ.
