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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteOh, 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 ;)
ReplyDeleteBut I will pretty much do anything for a deal ;)
