| Here is what I scored this past weekend. There was an estate sale in the community where I live. There were a few things in the garage, not terribly impressive. The gentleman manning the cash box said there was more in the house. So inside I went. Look what I found! I love buttons. These were the 2 baggies I picked up. They are old, and I just know I can use them on something. |
| This is the second baggie I bought. Don't you just love them? |
| And, she had fabric!! Just what we all need, more fabric. Some were older pieces, fat quarters, good size hunks, and a bunch of 2 1/2 strips all ready cut! There were these 3 wonderful blocks that she had pieced. This was so much fun to sort through when I got home. It is not that I needed anything, but it was FABRIC! I just could not bare the thought it might end up in a landfill. (I don't think so, she is a quilter. She just did not want to have to move this to their new home in Arizona.) I am going on a retreat in Racine, Wisconsin this weekend, and some of those scraps and buttons are going with me. I have been pulling projects and fabrics to work on. The clothes are packed and ready to go. It is so hard to decide what things to play with. I hear we are right on Lake Michigan, there are views from the windows and a beach to walk on. The retreat is from 4:00 on Thursday until noon on Sunday. I am so looking forward to this. Have a great day sewing. Mary |
