Purchase this quilt top
 
2 Attachment(s)
at Savers for $3.99 this week. It needs batting and backing, otherwise it is in great condition. I also purchased 3 yards of a med blue fabric that can be used for the backing - $3.99 for the piece. What a bargain that is . I just love Savers.

Happy Easter to everyone.

Where's Savers? That's a lovely top. Someone sure put a lot of time into it.

Saver's and Value Village are thrift stores that tend to collect their stuff from "rich folks" as I understand it.

A very pretty top. Hooray for you. Such a great deal.

Tartan 03-31-2013 05:23 AM

Great top and price! I have to wait for 50% day at our Value Village as the prices are getting to be the same as brand new at Walmart.

NUTMEG10 03-31-2013 05:35 AM

Thank you for looking.

There are 3 Savers store in NH, Manchester, Nashua and Portsmouth. Do a search and get addresses for all of them.

No "Savers" around area, but I'm happy for you, its beautiful. So, that had been someone's UFO, I assume?

Tweety2911 03-31-2013 06:39 AM

A beautiful save!! Look forward to seeing it quilted. Someone put a lot of work into this and so happy you found it. I am sure you will treasure it!

I LOVE Savers too-I have doubled my stash just from buying fabric there. I also buy uniform tops, 100% cotton sheets,pillow cases,drapes,tablecloths,shirts & more!! Never have found something like yours tho.Always looking for sewing machines but no luck so far. 30% off for seniors on Wed & 25% on Mondays.I now limit myself to 50% off sales they have usually on holidays> Got to stop my obsession for fabric. I must put my stash in my will!LOL

maryb119 03-31-2013 06:54 AM

Lucky you! I'm glad it went to someone who will finish it and appreciate it. It's very pretty.

nygal 03-31-2013 07:39 AM

I am glad it got a new home. It looks very pretty. It was once someone's treasure.

RedGarnet222 03-31-2013 07:48 AM

This quilt is going to be a real stunner once it is quilted. Lucky you to have rescued it for such a great price. The work looks very nicely done, don't you think? I like that last border. I have never seen one like it.

Chasing Hawk 03-31-2013 08:23 AM

Lucky you! What a beautiful find.

Great deal!

nunnyJo 03-31-2013 02:01 PM

what an awesome buy. what is Savers?

serenitybygrace 03-31-2013 04:38 PM

There is at least one Savers in Kansas City, maybe two. It supports the Boys and Girls Clubs. I really like going there. The one I know about is on Santa Fe several blocks off I-35 in a strip mall. I can't remember the name of the cross street but it goes right in front of the Nazarene University. I have no connection with Savers other than I like to shop there.
I have bought fabrics there and panels, but have never seen a quilt top. I have seen a sewing machine there.
I love the quilt top you found, you were really blessed. It is beautiful.

LindaMRB 03-31-2013 04:59 PM

Nice quilt and colors and looks like it was done nicely.

Too bad it went for so little with all the time and work that must have gone into it.
Still, it went to someone who appreciates all that effort! So congratulations to you!.
Would love to see the finished product.

great find!!

quilt queen 04-01-2013 04:06 AM

I just last week found out that several miles from Georgetown...a Savers Store is going in...from the discription of things you have found, I can't wait...it is going in to Cedar Park..at least that is the plan for now.!!!

Karissa 04-01-2013 04:19 AM

What about donating it. I'm doing a walk in a month & they give different door prizes. I've decided to donate a couple of things.

twinkie 04-01-2013 04:40 AM

How lucky can you get. Love it.

Beeboop71 04-01-2013 04:53 AM

How great a deal! Lucky you!

Wanabee Quiltin 04-01-2013 05:11 AM

Don't you wonder why this ended up at Savers ? We are getting one here on April 17th, can't wait ! Your quilt top is lovely, BTW.

DebbieG 04-01-2013 06:26 AM

I have a quilt top I bought at an antique/thrift store years ago for $20. Very simple pattern of squares in 3 different colors......AND made with a polyester/cotton blend fabric. I had purchased a back for it and had my LA quilt it in a very simple pattern....it's on my bed right now, with a Warm & Natural batting has made the perfect winter quilt for our bed!! Did I mention it was a generous king size!! Seems foolish, I know, for a quilter to purchase a top like this but I hope whoever made it knows that it is being used and loved!!

quiltstringz 04-01-2013 06:44 AM

What a find - lucky you

Sucia 04-01-2013 06:51 AM

A perfect quilt for the Spring!

cpcarolyn 04-01-2013 07:12 AM

What a find. Beautiful top.

Normabeth 04-01-2013 07:17 AM

Good bargain!! how could anyone let this go for so little money? I live in New Jersey we don't have a "Savers" here.
what kind of store is it?

linhawk 04-01-2013 07:44 AM

I have visited a Savers thrift store when I go to Boise, ID. Some "good stuff". :)

Keep Them In Stitches 04-01-2013 08:25 AM

Beautiful quilt top. Lucky you. It is so sad that someone put a lot of time and money into it and it sold for $3.99. I am looking at mine. I am glad you bought it and going to complete someone's project. You did good. Please show it to us when completed.

I did a search and there are several Savers in the Minneapolis/St Paul area. I didn't know either. I am going to have to check them out.

Auntie Em 04-01-2013 10:47 AM

That is a beautiful top....glad to see that you are going to finish it!!!
