Jackpot!
 
3 Attachment(s)
While browsing ads on Craigslist, I happened to stumble upon an estate that was being sold. Little did I know the person conducting the estate sale was looking for a buy-out. I arrived at the home, and to my surprise, the former owner was a quilter! All of the sewing machines had already sold, but, would you look at what I got? There is so much to go through! I know that not all of the fabrics are 100% cotton, but, I am sure I can find some way to put some of these things to use. I will post more photos after I do go through everything. There has to be at least 100 books in these boxes, and the garbage bags are stuffed full of fabrics. Tracing paper, patterns, magazines.....you name it! I have been blessed!

I live outside of St. Louis, and the estate was in the city of St. Louis. LOL
