    today a local church had their bi-annual rummage sale which i always go on half price day and usually get some decent material. this year they told me they had a lot of fabric so i went the first day on my lunch hour. spent fifteen dollars and got a bunch of stuff. the best part was a large plastic zippered bag that had a pattern for a potholder. i could tell there were some nice scraps in it and thought i can't go wrong for $1. when i opened it up at work i found pieced 8 inch square blocks. are you ready for this on top of the assortment of scraps there were 60 pieced 8 inch blocks!!!!! 40 were ohio star, 13 were buckeye beauty and 7 square in a square blocks. talk about shock -those ladies obviously did not look inside that bag before pricing it! i am so excited. gotta hide it from hubby cuz i told him i was not buying any material til thanksgiving!!!!

    assorted batting $7.25

    i think i may have to take a pic of these great finds. another great one was and again it was only $1 - four appliqued snowman block with material for either backing or sashing. some of the blocks need more applique done but well worth the money!

    Great deal. Don't think of it as buying fabric. Think of it as donating to the local church and they gave you a little gift for you donation. :wink:
