I stumbled onto a Quilter’s Garage Sale yesterday and thought you might like to see my loot!
Fat Quarters…perfect for baby quilts, perle cotton and an Add A Quarter Ruler.
I also found this little gizmo which I recognized right away but don’t know the name of. You look through the other end at your blocks and it reduces the size so that you can see if the colours and block placement are correct. Chris, from the Clubhouse had one and we were all admiring how slick it was (hers was an actual door peep hole that she bought at a hardware store)…now I have the Real Deal to play with! (Anyone know what they are called??)
I
This little ruler is perfect for paper piecing. It has a ridge that nestles across the paper fold when you want to trim your fabric to 1/4”. I have already tried it and it works perfectly! Bring on those Wee Houses!
Lovely yardage…perfect for backings! The green fabric on top is a Michael Miller linen and it is gorgeous!
I own most of Renee Nanneman’s books and now I have this one…and for only $1!
All of Renee’s books are winners!
And look at this perle cotton…worth the $2 just for the wooden spools!
Yup, I was yelling “START THE CAR! START THE CAR!” as I sprinted back to my vehicle…balancing my loot in my arms!
Hope your Saturday was as fun as mine…:o))
Have a Sunny Sunday and Happy Quilting!~P

ReplyDeleteA reducing glass is what you are thinking of...usually they look like a magnifying glass but so the opposite.
ReplyDeleteI've got a security peephole and a "bugeye" lens I got at a toy store that gives you multiple images thru it. Lots of fun.
I laughed all the way through your post! Love the 'start the car' as all quilters can relate!
