I hit the jackpot
 
Bluffton, Indiana is having city wide garage sales this weekend and I went into town today and found an EQ 5! She had it marked $25.00 and I got it for $10.00! It is already installed on my computer and I am just so ready to start playing. She also had a bunch of embroidery thread and I mean a bunch. Her mother died in 2010 and they are cleaning out her stash. I really lucked out.

There are a bunch of us on the board that will be happy to answer your question on EQ5. I use the program as often as I quilt on my Bernina.

Great for you! I went to a sale once and didn't see a thing I wanted. I thanked the lady and she asked me what I was looking for. I told her I was a quilter and I looked for fabric. She sold me 5 big plastic bins for about $10...her mother's quilting things...it was a gold mine..fabric, squares already made, batting, etc. Lesson I learned was to ask because you never know what they didn't bring outside!

Dang, I wish I had heard about this. I live in Ft. Wayne, but am not going to be able to get there.:(

Right place, right time!

That's amazing I never find any good stuff here. Hopefully I will get to hit some yard sales when I'm in Chicago this summer.

You did indeed hit the jackpot. Are you planning on going to any more garage sales this weekend, I think you're on a roll so go for it.

oldtisme 05-03-2014 02:59 PM

Congtrats!! Now there is something I haven't seen someone post about finding at a garage sale, GW or SA!!

Congratulations! I recently found EQ4 but haven't installed it yet. You are inspiring me to get it on my computer!
