I thought I was the only unlucky one. But I'll tell you, I have been finding things at Goodwill, consignment shops, even a local quilt show. So it can happen!

I never seems to be lucky enough to find them. But then hubby is usually with me and that pretty well tells the story. ha

I just hit one of those Bonanza's last weekend at a yard sale. For $20.00, I got tons and tons of nice quilting fabric, some finished practice blocks in different tecneques, and an unfinished antique quilt. It is embroidered, and pieced with old flour sacks. We figure its probably early 1920's or maybe just a little older. Jackpot!!!!

I was lucky to find a hand pieced quilt top with batting and backing and several rows of hand quilting at the local thrift shop and got it for $1. It is repinned ready for finishing the quilting but haven't been able to get at it.
It will still be there when I have time "one of these days."
