Quilty Junkin’ Treasures!

Last weekend, on Saturday, Louie and I went junkin’. We needed to drop a couple of his rings at the jeweler (well, his ONLY rings) for repairs, so after we went to the chiropractor, we went junkin’.

Now keep in mind, I did not find all these Goodies in one place, but isn’t this a pretty stack of ‘junk’? The pillow, same pattern and technique to one I made at a retreat, was $1.38 at Goodwill in Bettendorf. I think I paid $10 for the kit to make mine.

These two shams were found in Clinton Iowa at Goodwill ($2.38 each). I love the quilting on them, and may have just found a new design, apart from my meandering and loop-d-loops. The quilting looks like the top half of a heart. You quilt the top half, then continue on down, make an upside down half heart, go back up and make the top half of the heart again, and repeat. I think I could do that! You just never know when, or where you will find inspiration!

 

This new kitchen towel, which I will use for ‘show only’ since it is white, was $1.38. I found this in Clinton too.

These two (stacked) pillow shams were priced together, at $1.65 at the DAV store in Davenport Iowa.

This one was 65 cents at DAV in Davenport.

 

This table runner was $2.38 at Goodwill in Moline Illinois.

Other goodies I bought were some buttons, elastic, a puppy patch (all bagged together) (65 cents), a jar of T pins (65 cents) , three lanyards for scissors (88 cents each), a 3-hole punch $2.38), an unopened dvd of ‘Best Little Whorehouse In Texas’ ($5.38), and a cute tin spool canister ($1.38). The top and bottom both come off.

 

 I think I did pretty good for just over $25.

Be blessed!
