Nice haul.

Gosh I never find any fun stuff like that in our thrift stores! Way to go.

Oh I love those wooden spools!!!!!!! I was born in the wrong century I think :)
Great stuff!!! Have fun :D

Great find! Enjoy it!

luvstitches 02-28-2011 02:37 PM

Wow, you certainly found goodies for quilting and sewing.

Prism99 02-28-2011 02:40 PM

I'm envious. Our thrift stores rarely have stuff like this and when they do, it's priced high. Love to see others' hauls -- sort of a vicarious experience!

Great sale, lucky you. Have fun!

cashmommy11 02-28-2011 02:52 PM

Wish I could find bargains--- my favorite thrift stores are now gone!

Guess that I need to travel to find some better thrift stores. Great haul. Look forward to seeing finished projects from some of this stash.

frauhahn 02-28-2011 03:03 PM

I am very jealous!!! I never find stuff like that at our thirft store here.

Well done, very cool collection of stuff you have there. I love hunting for treasure! Must have been a dragon in a past life!

Neat stuff!

deedum 02-28-2011 05:55 PM

I rarely ever go into thrift stores, I think it is a time thing, plus my dh is starting to call me a "hoarder"! Funny isn't he! Just think if I got into a thrift store!

cny_sewer39 02-28-2011 06:44 PM

LUCKY LUCKY YOU. I AM JEALOUS!!!

SherriB 02-28-2011 07:02 PM

Awesome finds!! I seldom find anything crafty or quilt related in our thrift stores.

caliquocat 02-28-2011 09:09 PM

Some people have all the luck. :-)

I have a wooden spool with a label that reads 15 cents.
Those were the good ol' days. :-)

Marvel 03-01-2011 04:13 AM

You are definitely my kind of shopper. Guess I will have to go some to top your day.

rootyr 03-01-2011 04:36 AM

At our local DAV (Disabled Veterans) Thrift Store, I found a bolt (yes, bolt) of beautiful forest green marbled 100% cotton fabric for $9.00 When I got home, I unwound it and there was over 11 yards - Sweet!!!!! Some Sundays, I can't find anything and some days its fab!!! Also, just down the street from my church. Does it get any better?

GramaLaura 03-01-2011 08:15 AM

Good find!!

kwilter 03-01-2011 08:29 AM

Me neither.......(sigh).

I have some wooden spools but did not know what to do with them so they are in a box...I never see fabric in our thrift stores. You did good!!!

Quiltbin 03-01-2011 09:30 AM

countrycottage 03-01-2011 11:03 AM

Lucky you! I seem to always miss the good stuff.
