Great Finds??
 

My husbands passion is garage sales and auction finds. Yesterday at a garage sale he found atleast 30 Fat Quarters and an addition 2 yd piece for a total of $6.00. Then last night he attended our favorite auction and purchased a Singer DV9117 for a whooping $1.00. It has all the accessories and right now he his using the auto bobbin winder so he can test out how it sews.

Sounds like the perfect husband for any woman who loves to quilt. Must be a keeper !!

I wish my husband would do that. He's a keeper for sure!

That is fantastic. I love deals like this although I rarely find them around here.

What great finds-and a great DH, too!!

what a great find--lucky you--FQs at that price are a steal!

By the way, the Singer 9117 is a dual voltage machine...so it can by used in Europe or wherever...and her on 110. Great deal!!!

Are you letting him out for loan?

WOW...what a great hubby you have!!!

Whereabouts do you live...no DH, but i love auctions.....but have never found such bargains at the few I have been to...lucky you

I too was wondering if you rent him out!!

Sounds like you got a good one!

Sounds like he's a soul mate!

Mine surprised my last week when he came home from an auction and had purchased a quilt top for me. I haven't quilted it yet but I will get around to it soon

Don't you just love to treasure hunt. Especially with great deals like those....Congrats...

Sounds like your fist great find was your husband!

Those are great finds and great husband!

Dang girl you found a bargain when you found him! My hubby wouldn't even go to a garage sale much less buy fabric there!

Congrats! My husband does the same, but with buttons. :o

I'd say he was the great find.....lol

Lucky wife, he sure is a keeper. He must really care for you that he looks for things you like, use, etc. You are blessed.

Lucky you, but I have a feeling that feeling is mutual between you two--you didn't mention what you watch for for him. Has he figured out the dual power use of your new machine? I wonder how one like that came into an auction here in the states....or are you not from here in the US?

I just asked my husband if he knew what a "fat quarter" was--I got a "football" answer.

Oh well, I don't see any fat quarters coming in.

I was trying to google what this machine looks like but all I came up with is people trying to find out how to thread the bobbin, maybe your fabulous DH could share with them how to do it. I think he'd be famous all over lol. I just put in the google search Singer DV9117.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments regarding DH. Yes, I agree he is a keeper. He ALWAYS looks for things for me including Coach and Dooney and Bourke hand bags, my fav. When I decided I wanted to try quilting he decided he wanted to try it also. He is making a quilt using camo. material. It is funny to see this big, rugged, outdoors type guy setting at the sewing machine.

He's a keeper. Any man who would be a yard/garage sale and think of his wife while he is looking for tools or other guy things is very thoughtful. Lucky you

And Where did you find this 'HUBSTER'? What state? Just for fun-he is a keeper!

Great hubby and score!

In Puyallup,WA but I sure had to kiss a lot of "toads" before I found my PRINCE. When I finally decided I was alright being single and made a list of what was important to me and I wouldn't settle for less is when he appeared in my life.
