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.
Oh my goodness! I think Jackpot is an understatement! We just dont have garage sales like that here - I am so jealous!!!
ReplyDeleteYou did hit the jackpot! I would never find anything that great around here. Love it all!
ReplyDeleteCompletely unfair. I am sure those were meant for me...just kidding. How amazing to find such good quality feedsacks. Very nice. Hmm...I am so glad to see I am not the only one who needs to wash the linens when they cross the threshold of my home...smiles...Renee
ReplyDeleteWow Donna! That's a great $5 deal! I am convinced that the best deals come when you least expect them. I would have been dancing to my car!
