She Shoots…She SCORES!!

Yup, this Canuck scored big time!!  Yesterday I took you to the Quilter’s Dream Garage Sale…now you get to see the best part…the loot!! 

Now I hope you don’t think that I am bragging…because part of the deal with GSing is showing and telling…OK maybe a little bragging…hahah!  You get that “IKEA FEELING”…you know the commercial where the lady gets the good deal and comes running out of the store carrying her bags screaming… “Start the car!!  START THE CAR!!”  Yeah…it’s a lot like that!  I LOVE that commercial!

This was one of my best finds~ the kit to make this quilt!!  I have had my eye on this quilt for years…do you remember when it was on the cover of a Fons and Porter Magazine a few years back??  Well I have wanted to make it for THAT long!!  Now I can!  Score!

A fat Eights bundle…

P1140228

Another Fat eights bundle….

P1140229

I know this looks like a kid’s school bag BUT it’s not….

P1140230

Tah..dah…it’s a bag to hold your quilting tools.  Ever since Anne from Alberta pulled hers out and looked so organized I have wanted one!!  Now I can join Anne and be organized too!!  It was $5…I think Anne said she paid $50 for hers…SCORE!

P1140231

Cute bear fabric for a baby quilt…

P1140232

A baby’s quilt  kit…

P1140233

…and look at this sweet ducky fabric!!

P1140234

I needed more browns and golds for my stash …and now I have them!!  Eureka…and $2 and $3 for the bag!!

P1140236

A Fat Quarter bundle…

P1140237 

Isn’t this the cutest Christmas Quilt~ $1!

P1140239

Patterns for $1 or $2!

P1140240

Love this log cabin quilt with stars and roosters!

P1140241

This one is cute ~if you get rid of the Santa on a Goose…what was this designer thinking??  Love the town though and the trees!

P1140242

Even a wool penny…and I don’t have this one!

P1140243

You can’t see how sweet this one is by the pattern cover…so check out the next picture…

P1140244

Here’s one of the stitchery blocks…cute or what!  Rabbits Haven has the best patterns!

P1140245

..And another… This is going to be the cutest quilt!

P1140246

Check out this pattern…look at the cat stretched out in front of the pumpkins…I’ve GOT to make this one!!

P1140247

So that’s what I bought at the quilter’s Garage Sale…but check out what I bought down the road at another Garage Sale!! 

The lady was selling her mom’s hand quilting frame…she thought that all the pieces were there but couldn’t guarantee it…so she was only selling it for $5!  SCORE!  AND not only were all the pieces there but  ‘Mom’ had labeled all the pieces so it was a dream to put together!

P1140226

I put this quilt on the frame so that you could get the idea of how it works!!  I love it!  And it doesn’t take up too much room!

What a day!!  She shoots…She scores!

Now we just need the Canucks to SCORE too!!  Go Canucks Go!!

Have a Magical Monday and Happy Quilting!~P

    Wow, you did great! I have also wanted to make that Fons and Porter quilt since I first saw it. I think that issue was the first quilting magazine I ever bought. Still have it and I WILL make that quilt someday lol.

  15. HeartsdesireJune 13, 2011 at 9:15 AM

    All I can say is, Wow, what a score. It certainly pays to be the early bird at a quilt garage sale. And how lucky to find a quilting frame at another garage sale. I have one of those frames and they really work quite well. Also break down for storage under the bed. Love the fabrics you found and the Country Threads pattern is very cute.

    I have a bag like that one (different outside but same inside) and it's my favorite bag ever! I bought it in Canada on vacation years ago and it's wonderful. I'm totally jealous of the Rabbit's Haven pattern - I haven't found that one yet. blessings, marlene

    So how did you sneak this lot it to the house? Probably didnt even bother because they were all such bargins! I particulary like the courthouse steps kit. Ironically my only Quilters garage sale attendance resulted in me buying a very large courthouse steps table runner top in country colours for $5! You have me very intrigued about penny rugs and wool, I might have to investigate this as my next hand project, very cute pattern. Happy quilting Sue SA.

    Well you sure scored more than Vancouver did, lol - what great finds!! That quilt frame is awesome. Better not hit any more garage sales before Wednesday, the Canucks need all the luck they can get and you've been sucking it all up! I'm going to tell them it's all your fault. *G*

    And sorry, but Go Bruins,lol!

    Wow, you hit the jackpot for sure. Can't believe the deals you got. The quilter's frame? Come on, $5 for that? Wow, Wow, Wow. If they have the "garage" sale next year let me know and I'll take a trip up to Victoria on the ferry.
