This is all I can show of the red and white mini quilt. I finished piecing the top this afternoon. I am very pleased with how it turned out. Almost all the points survived and the corners match. I will figure out how to quilt it next weekend.
I went to the doc to have him look at my ear, and he pronounced the infection gone. On the way home, I stopped to pick up some King Tut thread to quilt the Jacob's Ladder and some small things to get ready for the gift exchange at my guild meeting. Then I went to the local Goodwill. I was really excited to find these wonderful things.
Look at all these wonderful shirts!
Intriguing plaids.
Hawaiian prints and a chartreuse plaid.
Look at the reds.
I even found a good sized piece of Grannies Flowers from 1997. It is going to help create the back for the JL. I also found a king sized floral on black sheet, a table cloth for our dining table, and cloth napkins. All in all, a very successful trip. I was excited to discover that the store had enlarged its linens section. I will have to keep my eye out there.
Tomorrow, I start my week with Bella. Until Friday, joyful quilting, everyone.

What a fantastic haul. I am going to go out tomorrow and have another look at our charity shops.
You certainly hit the jackpot this go-round, Miki! Looking forward to seeing how you quilt your JL...
I like you more and more! I love going to thrift shops and am so excited to know someone else who does the same! I kinda like the old fashioned idea of using scraps to quilt. Happy creating!
I do so love the Purple Cow! I never come home empty handed. For cheap!
