Default I love the Thrift Store!

Went to the Post Office, library, and just had a feeling to stop at the Thrift Store to check for scrap fabric...made a haul on corduroy...I have collected quite a bit and am going to make a big patchwork throw for the couch when I get enough...may be getting close...The two stacks on the left I got at the thrift store today for $3. plus some more pieces of interesting scraps...they were having a bag sale so you could get everything you could stuff in the bag for $3. I stuff pretty good....LOL The larger pieces on the right are the ones I bought previously.

Adding a couple of pic's of my pitiful efforts at free motion quilting...the back has the big wads of thread where I forgot to put the lever down and it really screwed it up....I scanned the fabric I'm going to use then printed a couple of 8 x 11 copies on plain fabric to make practice ones before I tried the real thing...Good thing I did...probably have to print a bunch more.... My foot has a mind of its own when it comes to speed...reminds me of learning to drive a car...my poor dad....LOL
