Went to a local barn sale in RI on Sat. They had a treadle for 45.00...nice shape with a Redeye in it...After yrs of antiqueing and lifting and carrying and now selling all my collections I gave it the lift test...My new rule is if I can't lift it I'm not buying...Couldn't and walked away.
What I did see was a basket full of Vintage Quilting sqs but for whatever reason just not in the mood to stand in the long line to pay.
All Sat. I thought abt those sqs. So hoping I went back Sun morning to see the Treadle was now marked down to 39...still walking away, gave it another lift test. And the basket was untouched with all the pieces I'd seen on Sat.
Grabbed them all up and this is what I got for 13.00.
