What 25 cents will buy !!!!

I used to always hear from my Dad, "When I was your age we'd go to the store with only a quarter and we'd get a bag of chips and a bottle of pop and a bunch of candy!" but I think you have him beat by a long shot! lol

I guess I need to start going to garage sales! What a find.

In a little town near me, a tiny little quilt shop just opened. While they don't have a large selection of fabric, notions, nor patterns, they are offering some classes, a place for the guild to meet and one fabulous deal. The great deal was a large table top mounded with scraps and empty plastic bags. The best deal....for $1.00....all you can stuff in that bag! Do you know how much you can stuff in a almost gallon sized bag???? I started to walk by, then something caught my eye and before I knew it, I was digging, stirring, and stuffing that plastic bag. If you roll or fold the scraps, it is amazing what you can fit in one small bag! A lot of the pieces I acquired that day were just scraps, but there were some 1/4 and some 1/2 yard pieces, some jelly strips, and a few charm squares, too. I tried to stick to pieces for an eventual eye spy quilt and those little pieces that just called my name and I fell in love with instantly. It might be awhile before they will change out the scraps enough to stuff again..............but it was a fun time searching and it was rewarding for me!

I went to a quilt show and sale and one of the ladies there had the same type of thing. She had the brown paper lunch bags and I stuffed and stuffed. Got myself some nice scraps.

I have the coordinating panel and 1 yard of fabric that goes with that last print you have there. (the blue stripe novelty) I would be happy to do a trade with you if you want them. I need Christmas, blues and fall fabric. Not all lol just saying if you have a stash. Let me know!!

Great Find.
