Score! and A Petite Giveaway

   After dropping the kids off from school, I stopped at an Estate Sale just a few blocks from our house.  Wouldn't you know it, but the homeowner was a quilter!
   For a mere $14, here's what I got:
These are 2 sets of 3 drawers each, stacked on top of each other
12 1/2" square ruler, a hoop, and Ink-Jet Fabric sheets
9 1/2" square ruler
Easy Dresden (8") ruler &  5 7/8" x 11 7/8" ruler
Kaleido-Ruler
1) mini-light for my sewing machine 2) some embroidery floss 3) 6 1/2" ruler
A plastic Block box and a book
Inside the Block box, I found these:

   And you, Dear Reader, are in luck, because I already own some of these items and don't need two.  So if you are in need of the following, please leave a comment:
   1) 9 1/2" square ruler  [9/9/11-- this ruler has found a new home]
   2) Flying Geese ruler  [9/9/11-- this ruler has a new owner now, too]
   3) 12 1/2" square ruler
(see photos below)



   I managed to squeeze in a tiny bit of quilting this week.  Here is the top of a mug rug for a swap I'm in:
 Do you think it needs a border?  It's already 7 1/2" x 10 1/2", which is a little large for a mug rug.
And here is the backing fabric I propose:

   Well, the time has flown and I've accomplished not a thing.  It is already time for me to go pick up my little guy from school.  
   Have a great weekend!   I'm hoping for some time at my sewing machine.

WOW! "Score" doesnt quite cover it, thats a friggin steal!! Lucky you :-) I'd love the 9.5" square, but it'd probably be a nightmare to post :-(

Wooohooo, you really did find treasure! I don't have either of the two square rulers, so either one would be a welcome treat! VermontPines@aol.com

Hi E, sorry I missed your last post. Glad to hear you are back home & hopefully in routine again. What a great find! I already have a 12" square ruler so please pass it on. I love the fabrics you're using for your mugrug. Gorgeous! Jxo
