My turn!
 

A friend told me she had been yard sale shopping and had gotten "some fabric scraps" for $3 and did I want them. Of course I said YES! This is what was in the bag. Picture to follow

Not only was there fabric but the paper and cardboard templates for at least three different quilts, squares already cut, and a couple hst blocks handpieced. Plus a pattern from a package of batting.

And most interesting of all - a small notepad from a company in Houston with the phone number not yet having an area code!

Sweet, nice score!!!

Aren't scrap bags fun ? I love to see what others have worked with. Even if you only get a few pieces that are all cotton you can pass the others along to someone else. You are lucky to have a friend like that.... I am in the process of sharing scraps with a new quilter in another state. Hugs

Lucky you...I love finding old fabrics and patterns. I bought a box of scraps years ago that had a pattern in it cut from an old brown paper bag from Montgomery Wards and a cardboard quilting pattern. Such fun!

what a great deal

Good deal! Glad you got 'a turn' :)

Awesome.. those are the best finds. I hope to hit garage sales today if the rain lets up.... happy hunting everyone

Great deal, I'm happy you got your turn. Lots of pretty fabrics.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a sweet score!

Sweet! And nice of your friend to give those to you. She's a keeper.

Wonderful! Happy sewing.

Great deal. We now have 3 area codes in Houston!

Wow! What a great find!!!!

Such a nice friend!

What a nice friend , for thinking of you.

Good haul! These sales are the best.

Yes, my friend is definitely a keeper! Now if I can just get her daughter's quilt done. . .

SCORE! Sounds like a good friend.

Great score! Lucky you.

You got a great deal!! I never run across those kinds of buys.

How lucky you are.

nice friend.

Cool - great friend!!

Wow good score

I wonder why I can't find deals like that, you did good, great friend.

Great find. Enjoy.

You have a wonderful friend who is looking out for you.

Wow! You scored well!

Seeing what people find at yard sales and thrift stores, makes me want to go yard saling/thrift store shopping, and I sure don't need any more "stuff". Lack to room to store more. Not much room to sew either. But one of these days I am going anyway.

Nice catch.

Great buy! Happy quilting.

Awesome find for 3 dollars!

Nice to see your friend's great offer. I can't drive (eye disease, no peripheral vision) so I don't get in on rummage or estate sale finds. Would be a fun time going through someone else's old treasure.

$3!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to go!

:D Please, after you make your quilt show us the before and after pictures. I'm still new at this and sometimes can't figure out an appropriate way to use the scraps.

Wow!! Looks good to me.

Really fun. Love deals! Already been garage sailing and found some treasures, but its the hunt I love.

3 bucks? Wow, good for you!!
