    Great bargains. I have never had one that you could just make a pile and barter a price. It is wonderful help to support your charity quilting.

    Oh I love those kind of sales - too bad they are few and far between around here.

    There were at least 2 dozen quilt tops, many little boxes filled with UFO's, lots of 80's type fabric, and other sewing items. So I made my "pile", which included 12 - 15 Precious Moments baby panels (great for my Project Linus quilts), 5 vintage quilt tops (decades earlier than the 80's), some unique children's fabrics, Olfa rotary cutter in package, a few books, and the garbage bag full of sewing patterns.

    I am looking for embroidered pillowcases for my quasi-crazy quilt project, so I checked out the linen closet. I couldn't find any, but there were 2 more boxes of fabric in there!

    Since I do Project Linus quilts, those Precious Moments panels will be put to use.

    If was a fun sale, and now I just need to find room to add these things to my stash!

    Awesome find for Project Linus!

    Dayle, You should have called me and told me about your find! It sounds wonderful. I am anxious to learn more about all of the things you purchased. I look forward to seeing all of your Linus quilts.
