Man, you scored a real deal, congrats on your find.

Great score....but what a shame the teacher won't get her retirement quilt.

You are so fortunate! I never have such luck. You are going to have loads of fun with that haul. Keep us posted.

Wow! You really scored!!

WOW! Great find.

I go to a lot of auctions and never come upon a deal like that.

Congrats. Enjoy your new goods.

wow!!! you got a lot of things. great find!!!!!!!!!!

Wow!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Sweet shopping girl!!

Wow what a buy!

Congratulations. You sure got a good deal.

Wow, you sure did score! I went to an estate sale today..zip zilch nada lol. Enjoy

Wow, lucky day for you !!! Isn't it wonderful to find something you love at teeny weeny prices? I haven't been able to get out and scour the yard sales, estate sales or thrift shops yet. Hoping DGD will drive her old granny around soon. Again CONGRATULATIONS

Glad the lady's quilting supplies went to someone who will appreciate them. Makes me wonder what my kids will do with mine. Recently at a quilt guild meeting a lady showed 3 beautiful quilt tops. Someone said, "You've really been busy this month", and her response was that she had paid $15 for the three at a garage sale. They probably had much more than $100 worth of fabric in them, but husbands and heirs often don't know their value.

You are one lucky lady, great find

I could have went all day with out seeing that, you lucky dog , I don't ever come out like that.

OMG! What a great shopping day for you! Congrats!

I think that is the best score I've seen! Congrats!

what a find!

OMG did you ever hit the mother load. Congrats on the great find.

You got a great deal. I just love the estate and yard sales in Ohio. I remember one of them I got a barrel of wool for $10.

great score!!! :thumbup: :D :D

I opened up the quilt top completely (its at least a queen size) and found a block with the school mascot and another with the name of the school. Looked for it on the internet and sent an email to the school with the names of the block makers and the fact that it looked like it was made for an unnamed retiring teacher. Asked them if they would like it to display it since it would have more meaning to them than to me.

Congrats!!! What a haul. Enjoy!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

HoooRay for you!! One of these days, I'll find a good haul :>)

You did good!!! Congratulations on your score.

Lucky you. You did SCORE.

BINGO!!!LOL

Great buy!

SCORE!!!

These kind of post make me very happy for the lucky finder!
However I want to run to my stash and drawers and start using everything. I don't want to go with so much bought and not used.

My Kind of deal. Thanks for sharing.

It was thoughtful of you to contact the school where the
quilt originated. Let us know if you discover any history
about the quilt. You found a gold mine of stash.

You did good.

You did good! way to score.

Good score.

Congratulations of your estate find. I had my daughter go Saturday to an estate sale to look at an older Kenmore sewing machine. It runs fine but the fly wheel is frozen up, also the lever that changes stitch length is also frozen up. I now have a boat anchor for sale!! LOL

Don't you just love it!

Yep! Score!! You should be doing your HAPPY QUILTERS DANCE!
