Hello all!

I hope you are all checking out and enjoying all the lovely quilts posted for the Blogger’s Quilt Festival (scroll down to the last post for more info). I have found such lovely blogs in the last few days! And such inspiration, wow!

I also went to a wonderful estate sale this past weekend. I bought over 100 skeins of yarn, yes, 100! Nice stuff too! I also bought my first set of Addi Turbo circular needles for a whopping $2. I kept reading about how wonderful these were but was too cheap frugal to pay the big bucks for them.  I now know, they are totally worth the money…..I want more :).

I also bought two quilt tops. The first is a 30’s Star top. I haven’t measured it but it is not  huge. It is machine pieced and has a few problems but the fabric is all in great shape and it is very clean.

Sorry for the less than wonderful pics! I was trying to stand on my recliner with the top on the floor.Um….never a good idea to stand on something squishy with a camera in your hand….

Anyway, here is a closeup of some of the fabrics:

I also bought this old cheddar and white top:

Only half is showing, it is quite large. Again, sorry about the less than stellar photo (see reason above). I have never seen this block patter before and would love to know the name. Has anyone seen this?

Here is a cool detail:

Don’t you love how she added the machine stitching lines to the pattern? Looks like this was done before the blocks were sewn together. It is a bit wonky but it just makes me smile :). Here is another shot of the block pattern:

It has a few small age stains but overall, it is in very good condition. Thanks for sharing my finds today.

Until next time…..
