My friend also gave me a nice iron that doesn't shut off automatically! Yea! A sewing chair and a stand to hold fabric! A good weekend here!

2 weeks ago I finally went to our new and expanded hobby lobby and bought a bunch of flannel for rag quilts. I just started cutting last night and realized that I must have overwhelmed the poor clerk; I asked for 4 yards each of 10 different flannels and I got 5.5 yards each......I checked my receipt and was only charged for the 4 yds......

Off to our local Disabled Veterans Thrift Store before church. Today certain tags are 5 items for $1. Sometimes I can get a piece of fabric for that price. Since I am a scrappy lover - WOO HOO..........

well we went back, it was gone, so as my mother in law said... it was not meant to be (probably would have been too big anyway)

got some more fabric though, and a new iron, well new to me, smaller travel type, which is perfect, I don't like the big irons.

I bought a Kenmore 15358 machine never out of the box. It was in a local consignment store and I paid $50 for it.

Found a gallon sized ziploc bag stuffed full of Aunt Martha's iron-on transfers for embroidery for FREE at a yard sale! Nothing I'll use so if you want something (or a kind of animal) in particular, PM me and I'll trade for bright big scraps.....

Week-end before last I got 3 butterfly panels, other name brand fabric and 2 $0.25 books for $9. Paid $2.00/yard. She even gave me scraps for free. I was happy.
