i am sure you did quite well! Its the thought that count! Like all the other replys are saying start collecting small things everywhere you go! that way you have a stash! I went to the Trinty Valley Quilt show last weekend and was able to pick up about 6 different items that were less than $1.50 each, then you can always throw in fat quarters, and things from the dollars store, emory boards and watch for candies to go on sale check your quilt stores clearance section for patterns and such. Target has items at the beginning of the store for a $1.00 to $2.00. small candles, make pincushions, what every is your specialty! You will be amazed at how things will start to pile up! Just look at the pics from the ones that show them and you will get it! And a great big thank you for all that takes pictures and shows them ! I know i love seeing them and I am sure everyone else does too!

Another great place to look for sale quilting sale items is at Tuesday Morning if you have one in your area. I have scored some awesome things off and on there. They are always getting new stuff so check periodically.

That's right!!!! OMG I had forgot about that place! Ours had closed down for remodling and seemed like it took forever to reopen!!! That place is a treasure chest of finds! Thanks for that reminder!! And you never know what you will find in there! I have found scrapbooking, quilting, embroidery, all kinds of note pads, I even found a Rowenta Iron in there one time!

Thanks Tammy for the suggestions. What is Tuesday Morning I live in a very small town I have never heard of this. Anyone that sews or quilts around here now have to drive 45 min. to 1 1/2 hrs to a Joanns or Hancocks thanks to Walmart taking out their fabric. I just had to order quilting thread online because Walmart does not carry it, now that is sad. I have enjoyed seeing what everyone has gotten each month and excited when I get mine. It's like waiting on a christmas present each month
