I too went to a used store yesterday - everyone here has me convinced it's ok to use bedsheets for backing and I found 9 queen sized flat sheets in some beautiful prints and plains. They were on sale for $1.99 each. I'm happy!
|
OMG...is that 50 CENTS for the quilt? OR was that a typo?
|
ohhhhh I think those books are awesome!
|
That was a great find! Congratulations!!
|
Yes you read correctly......no typo......50 cents for the quilt!!! I thought I would quit breathing when she said it!! I can't wait to go back again and see what they have!
Will keep ya'll posted on my GREAT finds! |
What a find! I have a lot of the original KC Star patterns --the old clippings were going to be thrown away--fortunately the heirs asked if I might like the boxes of patterns, etc.Of course, I said yes--though I thought they were all sewing patterns, as that is what was on top. The clippings are now in a nice photo album for posterity--and my use, of course!
I got a box of vintage cotton fabric at an auction last year--and there was a half-completed quilt top in the bottom of the box--PLUS 20 hand-appliqued floral blocks! It cost me $10. My only regret was not buying ALL the boxes--found out later, they EACH had a quilt top in the bottom------ |
Great find and wonderful prices. It was your lucky day.
