I plugged mine in just long enough to see that it gets hot. I might use it on Ashlea's quilt.
I've started my flannel quilt project. It's all thrift store stuff. Either flannel shirts or yardage remnants that were donated. I've found there is a lot of waste cutting the shirts into square pieces but you still get a lot of usable fabric. Plus the shirt fabric is woven plaid instead of printed. Roserips gave me a bunch of thread cones so even the thread on this quilt is second hand. The whole quilt will be, I'm going to pick up an old blanket for the batting. I'll post pics when I'm done. It suits me and my wife likes it but it's not your typical quilt.

Yardsaling will be winding down here in Indiana, as the weather is turning cooler fast! We had a sale ourselves last weekend and the weather was quite warm. I didn't make much, but my shopaholic daughter made a killing reselling kids clothes. She buys new, they get worn a couple of times, then sells for less than GW prices, so really she is not a good economist, but at least she makes room for the next shopping spree LOL!!
I did manage to sneak out to a quilters yard sale and got 45 yards of nice fabric, mostly solids which I do not have a lot of, for $50. I didn't take a picture and have already hid the evidence in my growing stash!

I can sooooooo relate!!! I have even done that with sewing machines! 
-what DH doesn't know won't hurt him and then when he does discover one I just remind him that I've had it "forever"
