Went to an Estate Sale on Saturday. Deceased lady was member of numerous local Quilt Guilds. My friend and I SCORED.... Got lots of fabric, cutters, books, patterns some fake plants, etc. Went back SUNDAY (1/2 price day) bot the rest of the fabric, more books, another plant for patio and a HUGE Christmas wreath. I have been washing and ironing for 3 days now... The largest piece is 7 yards on down to NEW fat quarters. (and some I didn't even count in the yardage cause weird shapes) Most of the fabric had not been cut in to. Now the GOOD NEWS! I spent about $60.00 for the 2 day spree and have over 80 yards of GOOD BRAND NAME NEW fabric..... And ALL lovely colors and patterns. OH MY ! Talk about Christmas.... I was always in AWE of everybodies yard sale "finds" on the board. Patience my friends, YOUR turn will come when you least expect it...... HAPPY QUILTING !!!!!

Well I guess I did on my machine but not on fabric yet. I need a stash!I've gotten some next to new lovely fabrics at sales------------the the fabrics are sheets, duvet covers, curtains, that folks have apparently decided they really didnt' like after all. this is the major reason I love my seam ripper so!

Way to go!!!! Isn't it more fun than walking thru a fabric store? Bless the lady that collected it all and bless you for giving it all a good home. I'm sure she would be happy that it went to someone that will treasure it. Now go make something beautiful...
