Quilt Goodies!

Remember I told you I was going to a quilt shop that was closing?
Well, here is what I bought. The first thing was this kit that will make a small table topper or wall hanging. Can't wait to make it.
Next was all the things in this box. Fat quarters, thread, big buttons, rick rack, and wool. I saw these boxes for sale in the shop which they used to hold fat quarters. I bought one and took it out to the car. I asked my husband if he could use them in his workshop. He went in, looked and we bought the other two they had for sale. After seeing the picture here I like the way the other things look in it so he might be fighting me for the other two.
I also bought a pattern to make this very cute table runner and a new rug hooking magazine. One of these days I am going to make a rug.

With Passion,
Carrie P.

Oooh, Carrie! You made out like a bandit. Such fun purchases. I still haven't had the time to visit the local quilt shop here in New Braunfels. I am at the mercy of my daughter to drive me places, but when the time is right, watch out!!

I know - I went home with far more than I had planned. I may have to go back over the weekend.

Could you tell how long they would be open? I would love to go but don't know when I can make it (like I have money for that!)

What a haul! I'm always sorry to see a local quilt shop close, but it's wonderful you found so much cool stuff.

You scored big time! Can't wait to see the "autumn" one finished! Would you get on that? LOL

She who discovers the boxes first gets to keep them, right? Looks like you found some great treasures.

Looks like you made some wise choices at the quilt shop. It's sad when a favorite shop closes but the sales beforehand can be great.
