Rummage Sale Loot

 Most years, my local quilt guild holds a rummage sale at our summer picnic/potluck meeting.  Generally there is a $1, $3, and $5 table, plus silent auction for larger/more valuable items.  Some things I picked up this year (even though I always say I'm not going to spend any money).

Swim suit fabric.  I will try to make one for Mini next year.  And, this was actually free!!

 An entire bag of flannel Christmas fabric plus a pattern for just $5.  Woo hoo.  (now to get it done...)

 Picked up a bag pattern, why not?  Those fabrics, though (shudder).

 Just a few fabrics.  I've already used three out of this pile.

 Someone had donated a half done, plus pieces, stack and whack.  I have an idea for finishing this one in an unusual way.

 Some lonely paper pieced star flowers I needed to rescue.

And just for fun - these are 100+ year old hexie pavers at the building where my son has his cello lessons.

Quilter's Rummage Loot

   A couple of weeks ago my local quilt guild had a summer potluck and rummage sale.  Members were encouraged to bring in items for the $1, $3, $5 table and silent auction.  The guild wins in three ways.  Stuff members don't want, bought by members who do want, with proceeds going to the guild.

I'm going to share my loot.

 $1 books.  Seriously.  Look at this quilt by Caryl Bryer Fallert.

 1985, and I've gotta say, looks awfully modern to me.....

 Another $1 book and a friend saved Sunday Morning Quilts for me.  I've enjoyed reading through it.  Whether I get to any of the project is another question entirely.

 From the silent auction table, 5 Cherrywood hand dyed fat quarters!  Didn't want to let that one go!

 Some Hello! Kitty flannel fabric and iron-ons.

 More flannel.

 Beads!

 So yeah, some of the Christmas Story panels.  I don't really like the movie.  I have two extended family members who love it. 

 And lastly, which takes the most explaining; A pattern and half finished quilt. 

 There was a bag on the $3 table that said pattern, fabric, and blocks done.  I started looking at it and could resist. 

 Again, not on the top of the list, but really shouldn't take long to finish up.  I think the paper pieced bugs will probably take the longest.  

 Have you gotten any good deals, lately?
