Default Estate sales are dangerous

I've been to a few sales in the last few weeks & here's what found me.[ATTACH=CONFIG]558940[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]558941[/ATTACH]1 - Butterflies, 2-top only(not sure of pattern) both are hand pieced & quilted.[ATTACH=CONFIG]558942[/ATTACH]9 Sunbonnet Sue 15" blocks.[ATTACH=CONFIG]558943[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]558944[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]558945[/ATTACH] I think I got these last 4 for $10.[ATTACH=CONFIG]558946[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]558947[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]558948[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]558949[/ATTACH] I think this is a New York Beauty pattern. Hand pieced & quilted, also well used. No price on this but I had $24.00 cash & it came home with me. Now I really should stay away from estate sales but what would have happened to these if I didn't bring them home?

The Baptist Fan quilting is only 1/4" apart. Amazing!

Nice haul. Of course you had to bring them home.

I find quilts too but also find Featherweight Machines. I now have 5 but I only paid at the most $25.

that would make me sad to think someone loved that stuff as we do and is gone.

I love estate sales. Wish I could find a featherweight for $25!

Fantastic finds. I am sure you will love your items as much as the maker did.

What a haul! You did well and 3 pair of shears. I have the middle paddle. I like it to be able to get close to the fabric with out cutting it.
