Then I came across another ad for "yard sale left overs". In this lady's ad, she mentioned a few boxes of fabric and a small quilting frame. I emailed for more info and prices on these items and she said she was asking $4.00 per box of fabric and she has 4 boxes and $8.00 for the small quilting frame.

So for $49.00, I'm taking my hubby on a 2-1/2 hour road trip this Saturday. I'm so excited, I can't wait LoL

I don't have a picture of the fabrics or frame, only the picture of the machines that was posted in the ad. Will post pictures of everything when I get them home on Saturday.

I am so envious - I can't believe some of the bargains that you find in the US - NOTHING like that happens here.

Don't feel bad. It seems to only happen in certain parts of the U.S. Unfortunately, bargains are rare here in California. I know we are the "Golden State", but people, that does not mean that everything is made of gold & should be as expensive as gold!

Now you have work to do!! Enjoy those machines. They can be great if you can get them going. Check out the vintage group's thread on the board for input if you need help.
