I want to come to your hometown!! Great bargain. Love your cat too.

Congrats! That's a great deal. :thumbup: Love your quilt inspector!

HillCountryGal 07-31-2012 06:31 PM

What a wonderful "find".
When something like this happens, I think it's even more fun to create a quilt.

ruthie 07-31-2012 07:32 PM

Wow what a deal.

I thought I did pretty good at yard sales and such, I think you've got me beat on this one. Great find! scrap quilts are so much fun! Looking forward to see what you make with the fabric.

thorlori 07-31-2012 09:48 PM

Wow, you did good, I call those major finds, and you found one. Kind of like my baby lock for 400.00, she lady had never used it, she couldn't figure out how to thread it, so she sold me a 1200.00 machine for 400.00. Keep looking those major finds are out there.

Mousie 07-31-2012 09:57 PM

good grief! these ppl had no idea what they were selling!
nice inspector :)

There are two 5 yard pieces with the rest ranging from 1 yard to 4 inch blocks. There was one 12 inch pinwheel block. I see several scrappy quilts in my future.

As I was taking pictures, my fabric inspector arrived. That handsome little fellow is Jasper, a 3 year old red Abyssinian.

COOL!!!! You did good. Did they give you the cat as a "THANK YOU" for shopping????? I like your little helper.

chris_quilts 08-01-2012 11:03 AM

Nice score on the fabric. Beautiful cat - I have 2 quilt inspectors who "help" me quite a bit with my fabric choices.

Girl you got a steal!! Thats awesome!:thumbup:

sewnbug 08-01-2012 03:38 PM

What a great deal.
Every once in a while I'll runn across a deal like that. Feels good doesn't it?

Suzanne Damien 08-01-2012 04:59 PM

Looks like a good deal. I have been cleaning out for my move & the hardest part was getting rid of some of my fabric.But I was good I gave a lot awayto a church group that makes quilts for cancer patients & bags for walkers for peoplein nursing homes.Also gave yarn thatthey use for sick babies. At least it went for a great cause.I still have plenty to sew with. Now that I retired I wont have to go shopping for any.i'll be busy. :):)

Momo 08-01-2012 05:03 PM

What a great deal! That looks like such a treasure and the fabric inspector is very pretty. He/she looks like the boss too.

stichinluvr 08-01-2012 05:42 PM

What a Haul! Congratulations!

1screech 08-01-2012 05:44 PM

Great score...it does look like scrappy is in your future.:)

stitcherlady 08-01-2012 05:44 PM

Unbelievable. What a great find! Can't wait to see your scrappy quilts.

slk350 08-01-2012 05:56 PM

Great find !! I love yard sales

kristen0112 08-01-2012 06:35 PM

Nice find! Was the cat included in the $2.50? He's beautiful.

sewellie 08-01-2012 08:50 PM

Jasper is beautiful!! Always wanted on, but never could find one. I always adopt my fur babies, but have not found one at the 2 places that I looked.

MimiBug123 08-01-2012 09:26 PM

Don't know if Jasper things you got a deal, but I certainly do!

Jasper can't believe his eyes. What a score!
