Estate sale finds...

I was lucky to be one of the first people preview an estate sale.

 

 

 There were quilts and a chenille bedspread !!!  She charged $10.00 for each piece, and I gladly paid that and QUICKLY loaded them into my car.

The hexagon quilt has been used and loved, but the colors are still pretty.  The binding can be replaced or sewn over.  A hexagon quilt is on my to-do list, it would be a great carry along project while going to doctor appointments.

 

The next quilt is in prime condition and apparently was a present to the lady.  She was involved in sorority functions and it was presented to her.  The butterflies are so cute, and each is embroidered differently, with the seamstresses name on the blocks. 

 

Both quilts are large enough for a queen bed and I'm anxious to use them.  I also bought a sewing box, never used, so it makes me wonder if the owner sewed at all.  She has a daughter but obviously she wasn't interested in the quilts.  Truthfully, I didn't need them either but couldn't leave them behind.

God bless and hope y'all have a great evening.

On the design wall .....

This is the latest project on the design wall...

 

This is the first quilt I've ever made for the "public".   A friend of my DD saw her T-shirt quilt and asked if I would do one for her to give as a gift for her friend.  This is how DD's quilt looks now:

 

It has been "loved" and used, with the backing replaced twice.  But that's what they're made for, right!

It makes me happy to know that she has enjoyed it.

Due to some hospitalization, her new quilt didn't get made before Christmas, so ........

 

If you read my blog, do you have any suggestions on the fees you would charge for a quilt.

Thanks for your ideas.

 

Have a blessed night and hugs to everyone.
