My dear daughter took me to her friend's estate sale. With the high cost of quilting and sewing materials, this was so great!!

I bought three tape measurers, a roll of stitch witchery, four large Quilter's Rule rulers and nine yards of beautiful high quality quilting fabric - all for a total cost of $10 !!

Look at the fabric I got.

So pretty.

Chrisb we missed you at the gathering, now we know you were finding some great deals. Next one is July 9th same place. Love the fabric. Especially the sewing room one. That's me too. I put pictures on the Offline May 14th gathering so you can see. Hope to see you soon. Keep finding wonderful bargains. Good to bring to show and tell. HUGS♥♥

Great deal. Love the sewing room fabric. I need to show that to everyone I know so they understand what I would want in a house. Of course I would have to add 1 good size room to it. A dog room!! :-)

I loved my old rulers like those..but beware, you can shave them down in no time...really...never start at the end of those rulers when doing a cut, move in an inch and go back and then forward...or you will shave the corners off really quick!

Thanks for the advice on the rulers. I have used a different brand for some time and have not had that problem with them.

Probably won't make the next meeting or two. We have a son coming home from Afghanistan and another and his family moving to the Austin area from Sofia, Bulgaria in July. It will be our first meeting with our granddaughter, who is now just over a year old so we will be pretty busy.
