Those wire drawer units are expensive. Now is the time to get organized and get using your new quilting stuff. Have FUN!

You made out like a bandit. Love estate sales. I'm going to an estate sale tomorrow. Asked if I could preview and possibly purchase or atleast put deposit. they said no. Will just have to take my chances.

*** It is a little different from that one. Has 12 different blocks.
***
*** I do not paper piece, so will probably not use it (was in a bag lot).
***
*** I will offer it later in another heading.

Jane Quilter 07-14-2016 02:43 PM

annievee 07-14-2016 03:01 PM

WOW you got a real bargain. At least $150 worth of supplies.

orangeroom 07-16-2016 04:10 AM

Holy cow! Boy you got a great deal!!! Congrats!

dinlauren 07-16-2016 04:46 AM

WOW! You really got a deal! WTG! I answered a CL ad one time and the daughter was selling her mom's quilt things but had no idea about them. I offered to go over and help her. We kept in touch for awhile, but never made the connection. Sounded like she was overwhelmed and just gave up. I sure would have loved to see what she had though.. Congrats on your great purchases.

Karamarie 07-16-2016 04:58 AM

You're one lucky gal.

callen 07-16-2016 05:04 AM

Awesome deal.

todiesmom 07-16-2016 05:52 AM

Mama must be turning over in her grave...apparently kids have no idea what quilting supplies cost...I am afraid that will happen to me...since my two boys and their wives are completely in the dark about quilting...lol...good for you that you got such a bargain..

Mariposa 07-16-2016 07:07 AM

Congrats on the great score!!

paintmejudy 07-16-2016 07:49 AM

Friday1961 07-16-2016 03:10 PM

What a haul! So good these things went to someone who will value and appreciate them. I have the 501 Quilt blocks book, a gift from my kids.

MargeD 07-16-2016 04:02 PM

You really got your money's worth!

Jennie and Me 07-18-2016 10:41 AM

Great find! I'm afraid that this will happen with my enormous stash as my children care nothing about sewing. Makes me sad.

Annz 07-18-2016 11:30 AM

What a great find.

mjhaess 07-23-2016 07:49 AM
