    I dug around and found the goodwill auctions. Here's the link to the crafts section, but there's all kinds of stuff on there!

    http://www.shopgoodwill.com/listings...at.asp?catID=8

    There's a 20 lb lot of fabric on there that the current bid is only $25.50 & it ends in about 3-4 hrs. Of course, you have to tack probably $20 on for shipping too. But, at 3-4.5 yards per pound, that's 60+ yards of fabric for less than $50. No wonder Nancia is hooked!

    I also noticed a 5-6 lb batch of international coins on there. The current bid was about $40 & the few that you could see up close that were already in the cardboard holders they use to sell them in shops looked like they were worth way more than the $40 bid.

    Finally settled on pattern and picked up my fabrics - excited to get started on my partner's project. Maybe I'll take a photo later and share a teaser of the fabrics.

    My son had his tonsils and adenoids removed when he was around 8 (a long time ago) he would have strep throat week after week after week; after a couple of years of this they finally took them out; after surgery there were no more sore throats or the ear aches that went with. He suffered so bad with strep throat; surgery was his best option.

    Make it pretty dabbler, lol I know you will. Yours is done, will mail soon. Have to get dressed and teach brat the blind binding. Can't quilt her quilt for her here, but will take it home to the long arm and get it done. Have a couple more on the agenda to quilt also. Then the wineries will be calling my name.....Hubbies cell (new) lost it's marbles so transferred to mine, guess I'm secretary for the rest of our trip.....now I'll know who's calling him

    did i miss something? blind binding? rough on the fingers, wouldn't want to trim it. instead of just skewering my fingers i'd probably lop them off. it's hard enough when i can see what i'm doing!
