My 5 Dollar Day


David and I needed to go to Home Depot today and it is in the town I grew up in about 30ish minutes away.   On our way home we passed this garage sale.  JACK POT! Count them yes there are 7 feed sacks.  At first I was questioning them then when I turned them inside out the string was still there.  Yeahhhh!  Some of them where made into pillow cases and a few had never been sewn into anything.  Oh and they are full size.


This is an old sheet I just could not resist.


These 2 are pillow cases but I was trying to get a close up so you could see the pattern.


So sorry these are so wrinkled I was so excited and could not wait to show you that I did not iron them.  Well I am a freak about things so of course I will wash and I iron before I do anything with them.


Just look at this quilt top.  Some of the fabrics in it are just WONDERFUL.  I am not sure if this scrappy doo quilt is made from old cloths or not.  But I did not care I love most of the fabrics in it.  We got there just in time because they where folding things up.  It started with this quilt top when I asked the lady how much it was she told me to grab a box and she would get me a bulk rate.  So when I got my box filled with treasures and when I went to pay she asked if 5 dollars was ok.  Well of course it is ok I said as I was jumping for joy inside.  I had gone to 2 garage sales yesterday and they where both DUDS.  Well this for sure made up for it.  

Hope everyone is enjoying there weekend.

  10. Great treasures. I love going to junk shops and finding finished quilt blocks and such. Someone went to a lot of trouble to make those items. Love the embroidered pillowcases.
