I was on my way to the grocery story one day and made a quick stop at the thrift store. OHHHH...but I parked at the Quilt Shop! (they are close to each other) There was a SIGN that said, “Quilters Rummage Sale”! OH BOY! There were tables set up and quilters with their ‘destash’ goodies.
I’ll show you my BEST BUY first!
I’m too excited to save it!
I got this beautiful, hand quilted lap quilt from the sweetest little lady. She acted like she was apologizing because it was so small and lightweight. But I knew it was PERFECT! (and it was $10)
I scooped up a big bag of thread ($5),
bought some cute fabric to make a doll quilt ($3)
(the small print at the top of the photo is the piece of fabric for the backing)
and got this box to put sewing supplies in. ($2.50)
I even bought a ziplock bag with ‘pieces’ for 50 cents!
That’s MY kind of SALE!

Do you get excited over a sale and thank everyone when you walk out the door...with a BIG smile? I DO!!!

The small pieces from the ziplock bag are going to give your doll quilts a good start.
That sewing box just made me smile! Now, that handmade quilt for only $10?!? That's daylight robbery! I call that, too, a great shopping day.
You find the best deals all the time!
Wow you got some great deals. The quilt is so sweet and only $10. I am shocked.
Those are the best shopping days!!
I love the quilt for $10!! I would have been smiling out the door too!

You hit the mother lode! I can't believe that lady parted with her beautiful quilt for only $10! Can you say, "SCORE?"
That is a great find! Love it! I love to do quilting but do not have time and nobody is going to teach me so buying is the best thing to do for me hehehehe.
Woo hoo! Good for you! Such great finds. I'm glad you are rescuing the quilts.
$10 for a quilt? What a find! Lucky you!!!
I'm posting for Deva of Fresh Pastry Stand, whose vintage-themed beeswax candles & Pyrex are being featured on Colorado Lady's Vintage Thursday. Thanks for sharing your goodies.
Wow ~ you really found treasures there. The little lap quilt is just beautiful. Have a great day
;-)
These are all great bargains! The lap quilt will be nice when the evenings are cool. It's really pretty! I love the colors in the pieces of fabric you bought, too!
Now THAT was a sale!! Beautiful!
Neat finds!

Oh I'll say...what a great day it was! I like everything. (Love your quirky sense of humor, too.)

Don't you love when that happens...such a wonderful enexpected feeling! Nice pieces:)
Beautiful finds there! I think the last photo might be the start of the Double Wedding Ring design, my mother in law introduced me to quilting years ago and she made a beautiful quilt with that design. Quilts take a while to make, but the joy lasts forever!
Also a big Hello to you from a new follower/blogger! I love lavender and purple, so I was drawn in by the name of your blog, and have enjoyed visiting!
Warm hugs to you!
Tammy
Ohhh that is a truckload of wonderful treasures!!! :D Great sale finds my dear! :D
Hugs,
Those great buys will surely be keeping you busy!
Love the sewing container...and $10 quilt? Wow!
You made out like a bandit!!!
I enjoy seeing anything that has to do with quilts. I have several vintage and new, but still want all I see. You did very well.
I love seeing all those "quilty" photos. Your little quilt has small Ohio Star blocks which are set "on point". VERY CUTE!
You have some great deals there!
Wow- I have never seen that kind of sale at a quilt store- Amazing buys- xo Diana
Why can't I ever find a sale like that?????
Those are great finds! You are so lucky.
Great finds!! You got a steal of the little quilt for $10.00. It's so cute and I love it!! Really cute pincushion box too. I used to work in a quilt shop and sometimes I really miss it.
hugs,
Cindy
Now that's what I call a good side trip! The little quilt is beautiful.
What are you going to make with all that yarn? (It's not thread!)

You got an amazing deal on the lap quilt! Love it. All your goodies are great. Good sale! Hugs, Linda
OMG!! That is sooo fabulous, the best sales are ones you happen by!

Great deals!!!!
What a deal on all of it but the quilt--$10, really? I guess I am never at the right place at the right time. What a bargain you got!

You must be born under a lucky star, that $10 you gave for the quilt was a steal, you couldn't even begin to buy the fabric to make it for that price.
Susanne :)
fantastic finds!! I can hardly believe how lucky you were to find a quilt for that price! Happy VTT
SCORE!!! Thank you for sharing your lovely post at the Thursday favorite Things Blog Hop Linky Party xo
OH...MY...GOODNESS!!!! I don't even know where to start! That lap quilt is so sweet and only 10 bucks?!! Wow! All of the things you got were wonderful bargains. They really did have a quilters rummage sale. Thank you for joining TTF and have a great day!
Wow, did you do good girl? I can't believe that mini quilt was only $10. It would cost more than that to quilt it. Everything you got is so fun and such great prices. So happy for you! Thanks for sharing with Share Your Cup.
Hugs,
Jann
