WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY cool, Florence!
Wonder if they threw thimbles, etc out too!

I love the softness of a hand quilted quilt -- I still enjoy hand quilting but have so much fun doing applique and free motion I don't do much hand quilting any more . . . give it a whirl!

You saved yourself enough money scoring that hoop that you can buy more fabric!!!

I think I'll pay more attention to people's garbage from now on!

Imagine this: family is going out, we get to the main drive of our subdivision. Not unusual, there's an unmarked sheriff's car, b/c this is a favorite place to catch speeders. Only a few FEET in front of the sheriff is.... a quilting hoop on a stand. There are a few other things nearby, and we've seen things before. I don't know the family but I know they've been hit by some personal issues which explains some recent "house cleaning" of this type... take it before the trash folk haul it away. I gasp & holler QUILTING HOOP! :shock: DH says, you want it? Sure! he pulls a U-turn, we're now across the street, we send George (age 11) across the road to grab it & toss it in the trunk... all RIGHT in front of this cop!! DH pulls forward, rolls down his window, calls to the cop "Quilting addict!"... cop smiles, DH pulls another U-turn, and off we go!

So now I've got it-- I am NOT (yet?) a hand-quilter-- but as far as I can tell it has all it's parts...How cool is that??
