    Soooo.... I accidentally returned my youngest son's school library book to one of the public libraries.... and had to go and retrieve it last night so it could go to the proper place... While I was there, I asked the librarian if they got any quilting magazines and she said no but that someone had dropped off several boxes of quilting books and they were mostly already priced for their book sale. She asked if I would like to go through them - how could I resist??

    I spent an even $20 and here is what I took home... mind you I was very picky. There were so many really fabulous books there. I called my mother on my way out and she asked why I didn't buy all of them and resell them on Ebay...

    Anyhoo.... Here's what I got...

    Folded Fabric Fun
    Asian Fabric (it has an amazing geisha pattern in it!)
    Great American Quilts Book 4
    Rotary Magic
    Off Center Patchwork
    Optical Illusions for Quilters
    Magic Quilts by the Slice
    Magic Pillows, Hidden Quilts
    Easy Paper Pieced Baby Quilts
    Needles & Notions
    Learn to Make a Foundation-Pieced Quilt
    Easy Paper Pieced Keepsake Quilts
    Hall & Haywood's Foundation Quilts
    Paper Pieced Flowers
    Paper Piece a Merry Christmas
    Victorian Quilt Block Designs the Foundation Piecing Library
    Quilting Made Easy the Foundation Piecing Library


    I'm still giddy...
    Can you tell that I'm really interested in Foundation Piecing right now?
    There were a few books that were on my wish list that I was able to score. I'm wishing that all of my wish list was there but hey, I still think I spent my $20 wisely...


    And yes, I'm thinking of going back and looking through them a second time this afternoon!! I have to go back in to town so I can hit the other Hancock's since the first one didn't have enough boxes of fluff for me - I go through fluff a lot with my crochet designing...

    You should buy them all and sell us the ones you don't need....it will benefit your library and give you enough $$ to buy your fluff!!!!

    I agree with Kathy N. What a deal and there's no hurt in helping out a fellow quilter and yourself at the same time. Enjoy.
