This morning I stopped at a church bazaar after we went for a family "Breakfast with Santa" which was a fundraiser for a local charity. (I couldn't convince the kids to get a pic with Santa, oh well.) Anyway, I did find some goodies at the bazaar ... such as these fabulous vintage nine patches! I really like the funky fabric in them.
There are 35 blocks all hand done. They are quite uneven and are a variety of sizes, but they really look great all together. I am thinking of a plan ...
I had to laugh -- the needle was still left in one.
I also got a big piece of vintage flannel. It will be for pillowcases. The flannel was in a bag for $2.00 -- with a bunch of other fabric miscellany.
And then check out this quilt top! It was a total surprise. I paid $2.00 for the bag that had the nine patch blocks in it, and then when I got out to the van and looked at the rest of the things in the bag, this was folded underneath. It's all hand done and about twin size!

On a kind of unrelated note ... when we were watching TV last night, a commercial came on promoting scratch and win tickets as stocking stuffers. The top prize was $125 000. My five-year-old son turned to me and said that I should buy some tickets. I said oh, no I didn't need any. His response: "Well with $125 000 you could buy lots of fabric!"
