Quilt Dreams

You know I keep telling myself to stay out of thrift stores, right? But LOOK! On my weekly trip to Asheboro, I try to stop at the Christian Outreach Thrift Store.... you know.... just to look. Well, just look at this beautiful treasure I found a couple weeks ago. If you click on the pic, you'll see the book was priced at $2.68. The books were half price that day, so I got this wonderful dreamy book for $1.34. The quilt below really called my name! I'm enjoying making yo-yo's a lot these days and when I saw this quilt, I thought "oh!! could I possibly make that???" Isn't it pretty?

The sailboat quilt below looks a lot like one I made for my son when he was a little boy. It has had a lot of love (wear and tear) through the years, but I think if I replace its binding, it can be loved for a few more years. Another thing on my "to do" list.

And I really like this one too... a log cabin quilt with appliqued stars. The stars just give it such a pop, don't you think?

The one below is just so country and cute. I love the colors and it reminds me of the quilts that were made from feedsack fabrics. I love the 1930's reproduction fabrics that are so available right now. ( I have a few in my stash) These colors make me "happy".

So.... the moral of the story.... keep checking out the thrift stores, Penny! Even if I never make these quilts, the pleasure of dreaming about making these quilts is well worth $1.34. :o)
