I hit the yard sales every Saturday morning, I think the enjoyment comes from wondering what you will find. I also frequent the thrift stores. Just recently I purchased a Necchi, in great condition, at Goodwill. I also got a hand sewen quilt at a garage sale that was in great condition.

I keep hoping that I will find a quilting frame that my juki will work on, included of course with a stitch regulator all for next to nothing. A girl has to dream doesn't she? LOL

Guilty....Addicted to Estate Sales, Garage Sales and of course the Pound store of Goodwill. Oh yeah forgot thrift shops, some are raising their prices which is not too good.

went to a yard sale today, lady said business was slow... but she sold an old sewing machine real quick. I asked her about the machine, she said it was an old treadle, the kind with a wood box to cover the machine.. ohhhhhh I should have been there early!!!!!!!

I love yard sales, but have had no luck lately. For some reason we are just not getting out and about, not sure which of us is to blame.

I like yd sales, I have to be in the mood to go to them. My dh dislikes them, says I will bring more junk home. It is a high when you find a bargain.

We have those in our mountain town too, but I haven't seen any fabric at them in the last few years. Folks are hanging onto their stuff a lot more these days, unless they're needing some $$ and then they tend to price what they have too high or don't have anything worth buying sometimes. It's too bad.

Good luck to you this weekend. :thumbup:

I guess the best bargain I got at a yard sale was when I hadn't been quilting long. I got a whole box full of quilting magazines for $3.00. when I got home I counted them and there were 91 books. I was in heaven with all those patterns. I still have them and when I need inspiration, I go sit down and look through them.
