Over the weekend I was able to hit the "jackpot" at a Garage Sale in Houghton Lake, MI. The quilter that was selling fabric, books, acrylic rulers, lots of fabric. We got to talking and she said she is on this board!!! Her name is Bobbie J but I cannot find her. I am hoping she will find this note. She was fabulous. I never thought to have her brother take our picture (duh) anyway here is a picture of my purchases. I am 2 months post rotator cuff surgery, PT completed and I am ready to get my machine out and have fun!!!

As a fellow recovery-ee, take it slow. And stop when you get tired. You don't want to hurt your reconstructed shoulder.

I am almost 1 month post rc repair and am having serious quilting withdrawal. Have fun with your great find.

It is a small world. I am from Edmore and we will be in Houghton Lake this weekend. I am taking a landscaping class from Suzie's Stitchin (can't wait) and we will be camping. I am in envy of your great find.

lorimax5859 07-06-2011 05:58 AM

Nice find. Isn't Houghton Lake beautiful? Haven't been there in many years so it's probably grown since we went there camping.

Cool Find!
