    Checked Craigs list this morning and seen there was an estate sale not to far from my house. Thought I would go and i'm glad I did.

    I left the sale with 5 (yes 5) garbage bags full of fabric, 2 quilt tops (hand sewn), a huge stack of squares, vintage fabric, 2 quilting books and other odds and ends. That was at 9 AM, and im still not done washing it! My laundry room is up stairs so I sorted and piled it on the stairs so I could take a load that was sorted up with me. I bet there was 100 pounds of fabric. Unbelievable...$10.

    Washed already..this is just the pinks and yellow's and a couple whites.

    I will admit that the gal said 1 dollar a bag. I felt bad...very very bad! I offered her 20, she said 10. She was just very happy that I was so happy!

    God is good!
