You did amazing, but hopefully you didn't leave the mat in the car. Heat will warp it so fast and they never heal! What a find! Good for you.

Illinois, and with everything going on in this state, a tax free item at a garage sale is a good thing! :!: Matter of fact, my neighbor was just telling me a few minutes ago, that her friend is having a sale tomorrow and have loads of bolts of fabric and such. Her friends who has sewn for years are bringing their stuff. First thing on my agenda, then of course, get to work :wink:

Gosh, that was great. Hope it wasn't a clean out from some quilter who DID NOT finish all her projects.
I put all my stuff together in bags with directions and, if a gift to whom. When the "sisters" afrive After, they will know what to do. I really dn't want my stash to end up on the sidewalk.

OK, marsye. You got yourself in trouble the last time you bought something at a yard sale. Remember the Sues?

applique press mat
some batting-big enough for a couple of wall hanging
3 yards of muslin
4 yards of white cotton material
scraps of cotton material
3 yards of beautiful soft green print cotton material
some misc fabric-non cotton
a large supply of fusible web
I was in a hurry to get to work, so I grabbed it and headed out.
How did I do? oh, and I got the tote :wink:

Well Deedum, you remind me of a dear friend who once said, "Even if I don't ever use it, it's a good deal" :lol: I think you made a good deal. :thumbup:
