What 25 cents will buy !!!!

[SuzyQue]

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.
