We have thrift shops but they aren't as thrifty as you would think. I get better deals at estate sales. I picked up a couple quilting books (Alex Anderson) had patterns and templates, Lapquilting with Georgia Bonesteel and couple others. I paid I think about $1.50-2.00 a book. All have templates and couple patterns and charts. Have not been able to find anything like these in thrift stores yet.
