Well, there is nothing more fun
than a garage sale.
Our guild just hosted one and wow,
it was fantastic.
I think it was just the atmosphere of finding a bargain,
and hanging out with friends not seen in a while.
Helping each other find some good bargains was fun too.
A 60 mm cutter, you must have one. This really great ruler,
got to get that too. It was a great night.
Here's my haul:
This beautiful yellow fabric,
a bit heavy in weight but very suitable for quilt backing and
Thread is my weakness and I bought more.
binding tool to quickly mark my stitching
line on binding.
Last but not least, I picked up this
wonderfully heavy pincushion.
I can just toss my pins its way and it will snatch them up.
One can never have too many pin cushions!
All the money raised go to a good cause the guild supports.
A great way to cap off the guild year and
enjoy the company of fellow quilters.
To top all off, I forgot my sweater
so now I get to go to a quilt store to pick it up, bonus!
Stay safe and sew on.

I find garage sales fun, in general... and a quilt/quilting focused one would be super fun! (and a bit dangerous) LOL. Thank you for joining Sew & Tell.
ReplyDeleteIt was! It is almost like a quilting lending library . Everything comes around again except fabric!
DeleteMy daughter has long encouraged me to use a 60mm cutter as she believes they are easier on the hands. Perhaps she’s right? I love the tools you picked up – many of which I didn’t even know existed! 😊
ReplyDeleteI do have a thing for notions!
DeleteWhat a great idea. I wonder if my guild would be interested in doing something like that? It would be a great fund raiser especially if we ear marked the $$ to buying batting for our charity work. Must think on this a bit.
ReplyDeleteOur $$ go to a scholarship for human ecology students. All items are cheap cheap cheap so great fun !
DeleteGreat finds at your guild's garage sale!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! I'm still loving thise great finds!
DeleteWhat a great idea! Your haul is fantastic, the binding tool looks fun. Pretty new threads ;)

Delete60mm rotary cutter is my go-to! Sounds like a fun, fun sale!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was! Like a yard sale curated for quilters!
DeleteWhat a great bunch of goodies you found, Deb! I have a 60 mm rotary cutter but rarely use it. I prefer to use my 45! Thanks for joining us at Monday Musings.
ReplyDeleteI use both cutters. O e , the 65mm for yardage and the 45mm for trimming blocks. Happy stitching !
DeleteHi Deb, garage sales are a lot of fun! You found some wonderful things! Thank you so much for sharing, and warm greetings from a 68 year old retired lady living in Montreal, Canada.
ReplyDeleteI did! I'm finding lots of time to use them too!
DeleteHi Deb. Looks like you found some treasures at your Guild Garage Sale. What fun! Our fundraiser in April raising over $11,000 in 4 hours. It was so much fun and allowed us to redo our ramps, railing and stairway on our little building. Thank you for sharing on To Do Tuesday 😁 Carol

DeleteHi Deb, that looks like a fun night! Our artist group is having a swap night in July - I'm looking forward to that! Thanks for linking up to FM Mavericks!
