    Speaking of thrift store finds, I just bought a baggie of the 6" metal hem gauges that some have mentioned in our chats. There are 19 of them in the baggie. I payed $2.99. I would share them but I'm pretty sure the postage would be more than the cost of buying one at the store. I also made a major score of 11 sheets and 23 pillowcases, 5 cotton napkins 6 pieces of fabric remnants and a cotton skirt all for $22.00. They gave me a special price for buying so many. I'll try to get a photo of everything tomorrow to show you what I have.

    This was not at an actual Goodwill store. I agree, they are not so flexible and agreeable with barganing there. I was shopping in another kind of thrift store.

    I think I recognize the pattern with the sheep. The one I have, uses wooden spools for the legs. These little guys turn out so very cute!

    I only got the african animal print because some of you had talked about wanting that type of material. It's not as sturdy as some of the other sheets, having a bit more of the polyester to it. However, if anyone wants this material, I will send it, you only having to pay the postage. I will ship the least expensive way. It really didn't add much to my total cost.
