I sure wish we could get lovely things like that here at our yard sales. I always ask about fabrics, upon ariving, just to be sure. Everyone says "wish I COULD sew, but no". I did find a Morse sewing machine from the 70s at a yard sale this week. I asked the lady if it didn't sell, would she consider donating it to the Cumberland Valley Quilters guild for our fundraiser auction and she said yes. It is a great machine. As soon as it gets warmer, I'm going to clean it up and make it look good. QB is the only place I have ever heard or seen anything about Morse machines. It is a Cadillac looking machine with lots of fins and chrome. Hope it does well. I can't buy everything I see.

Good for you. I seldom find anything worth while when I go to garage sales.

I am never that lucky but then again, I don't go to many garage/yard/estate sales.
