I went to a new-to-me place today...a Goodwill clearance center. All clothing is $1.29 a pound. I got 9 shirts for $7. That's the good news. More good news is that one of the shirts was for a dress-up occasion my daughter has for youth group Wednesday night. I was meeting my son for lunch afterwards and felt like I had to wash my hands with bleach up to my arms. The clothes didn't smell, but it was the aura of the place, you know?
When I got home, I washed and dried my new haul of shirts (like I needed some more). Then I machine quilted a little more. I got to about halfway on my Shooting Star quilt. It is a bit tedious for me, so I'm only doing a little at a time.
I was gone most of the day today, but tomorrow is laundry day, so I'll be downstairs most of the time. Sounds like a good time to do more machine quilting.

Quilt looks great. Pretty soon you will have to make something with all the buttons you must be accumulating!
I went to one of the Good Will Outlets in Salem last month, so I know what you mean. We did find a few things, though, including shirts - and lived through it! I really miss having a basement because I have to use one of the bedrooms for my sewing room. Of course, my kids are gone, but still it would be nice to be able to spread out a little more.
Oh, if you don't want to visit Goodwill outlet again, I will do it for you!!!! sooo wish we had one of those around here. seriously contemplating a trip up to Greenville just to visit one :) I loved it ;)
But I will pretty much do anything for a deal ;)
