I'll keep looking. You'll have to show us the finished quilts (or even just the kits).

Same here. I have never found anything sewing related other than small bags of assorted notions - really old reels of thread and zips etc., and equally old patterns. Maybe I am just not hitting the right stores.

Those kits sound like a great find. Have fun with them :-)

We have no Goodwill stores around here but if I ever come across one, are they arranged so there's a particular area to search? I'm always happy to read about the great bargains many of you have found, especially love seeing pictures of piles of goodies. Maybe someday it will be me!
