Tolentreasures

Last night was another auction at our local fairgrounds. The fair board sells the food at these auctions. Some of us spend way more than the fair board makes. Money in, money out. We sure have fun at them though! I saw this quilt come up for bid. Somehow, I had missed it in my early preview. Since we have to get food ready ahead of time, I manage to peruse the goods prior to the auction. Missed this! I did get it for what I thought was a good price. It looks like feed sack material. The stitching is really nice.   (Just as a side note, Blogger is being a little contemptible about loading pictures in order or at all. )     Also, scored this ice sign.  I missed that in the preview also. I have been looking for one of these for awhile and didn't want to pay the high $$$ that they were running.   There are more treasures in my car, it was raining when we came home and we were tired.   However...

for that little blond head of Gracelyn's . Mommy and Daddy are taking her to Disney World at the end of this month and we wouldn't want her visit to see the Princesses upset by a little sore head. This should give her enough to hopefully match all of her clothes. Fun to make and I even got to play with all the decorative stitches on my sewing machine. This is Mom's flower garden quilt that she is working on. A man in her church, whose wife passed away, gave Mom fabric that had belonged to his wife. This quilt was in with it and was partially finished. Mom is finishing it and giving it back to him. Another beautiful spring day, marred only by the fact that my taxes are not even at the accountant's yet. I need to get that done, what a load off my mind that would be! Maybe today!
