Every summer, my Quilt Guild has a summer picnic potluck and a Quilter's Rummage Sale. Lot's of good food -- summer salads and desserts. Yum!
The guild has gotten several large donations from the families of Quilters who have died. Lynn has more than enough for several lifetimes of making charity quilts, so they decided to bundle things up and sell them at the annual guild rummage sale. Some will go for Quarter Chances. Most of the things I purchased in the rummage sale were from Carol K. who died a few months ago. She was also a nurse at my hospital, so I knew her 2 ways. I am happy to have some of her things now, because I liked her so much.
What I brought home:
Wool yardage. I can cut this up for rugs, or save it for some other project. I have learned to never pass up wool like this when I see it. It's harder and harder to come by!
Plus 2 elegant fat quarters.
Bag O' Zippers for $2. I can use these for making little zipper bags.
Zippers are ridiculously expensive if you buy them 1-at-a-time.
A Box of Taylor's Chalk for marking. All colors.
This is one of my preferred methods for marking fabrics.
Did I need any of these things? No, but for a total of $7.50, how could I pass it up?

Bargains all! I don't blame you. I'd find it hard to pass up that beautiful batik even though I have more batiks than I will ever use up. And the zippers - my friend almost ditched a handful of varying sizes thinking they were no use to me but YES, I grabbed them for making zippered bags and pouches. As for the wool, I probably should bequeath you my wool stash, good Pendleton wools that I doubt I'll get around to using. I know for sure I'm beyond any reality where I would make rugs. ;-)
