I NEVER find anything quilt related at a yard sale...always junk in seems. Today I had 10 min to kill before school pick up. Passed only a sign, turned in the neighboorhood and found 10 of these still in the packages, brand new. She wanted $2.00 each. As I only had $10 cash, I offered to take them all for $1.00 EACH.

Great deal!!! Lucky you! I am in the same boat when I go to garage sales, there is never anything quilt related! Maybe I will luck out one of these days too!

Well, you did good this time! I never have any luck at garage sales...but I have found a 301A at a thrift store for $10. It sews really well, and I have enjoyed it. Did have to buy a bobbin holder though...but it is worth it!

They are boxes covered with fabric that fold to assemble with velcro etc. They are the perfect size and made to fit fat quarters. I hand dye and take them for sale. Each box will fit 50 of my FQ, wrapped around a thinner chipboard and attached with a label. You could probably stuff more in, but I want people to be able to look through them.
