Wow, Melisa! Love all those quilts! Can you guess from the fabrics how old they are? I especially love the Pioneer Woman Comforter - what size is that? Is it a lap quilt? What makes it a Pioneer woman’s comforter rather than being a quilt? They are all fascinating. The quilting on that Wedding Ring Quilt looks amazing! You do so well finding these quilts. Fabulous! Can’t wait to see what you find next. 😁👍🤗 Barbara @flashinscissors xxx💕🙋♀️
ReplyDeleteGood morning, dear Barbara. I had a lucky day that is for sure. I wish all of my thrifting trips were like that. Lol. The Pioneer Woman comforter is actually a quilt. I couldn't believe it is king size too. I have it folded at the bottom of my bed right now. Those blues and the roses spoke to me. I was so happy to be able to get the Wedding Ring. I am not sure how old it is , but it has lots of feedsack fabrics. It is a full sized one. Thank you for the sweet Wednesday visit. Have a beautiful day, sweet friend. Hugs.
DeleteQuelle chance de trouver de si belles courtepointes , je les trouve superbes .Je suis fan des hexagones , j'ai fait déjà plusieurs courtepointes avec ce motif . Merci pour ce partage . Bonne journée
ReplyDeleteGood morning, dear. I feel very fortunate to have found these quilts and to be able to bring them home. The hexi quilt is amazing. I just have started a hexi of my own. I bet your quilts are beautiful. Thank you for the sweet visit. Have a wonderful day. Hugs.
DeleteOh girl, you were at the right place at the right time for sure. Love your new finds, you were so stinkin lucky. I love all Pioneer Woman goodies. Hope you have a great stitchy day and thanks for sharing with us. ❤️🤗
ReplyDeleteIt was a great day to be out thrifting! I wish I had that luck more often. LOL. You just never know what you are going to find when you go to the thrift stores. Oh, I love Pioneer Woman too especially when I get it at the Goodwill. Hee! Hee! Hope you had a fabulous day, dear Patti. Hugs.
DeleteAll of the quilts are beautiful! I can't imagine how long it took to make the hexie baskets and the double wedding ring quilt, is gorgeous! You'll have a new display set up soon with these quilts, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI can not imagine how long it took either, Gretchen. The hexi quilt is a king size quilt. I about fell over when I saw the price. It sorta makes me sad knowing how much work went into it, but I am happy I get to give it a good home. Thank you for the sweet visit, Gretchen.
DeleteGreat treasures indeed!
ReplyDeleteHelen , we had such a great day visiting the thrift stores. Whenever I can come home with something sewing related, I am over the moon. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteWhat beautiful finds!! I love the hexi basket and always wanted to make one. I have enjoyed catching up on your blog as I am recovering from covid. No sewing lately but will get back to it soon. Have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteJoy, I am so sorry to hear that you have been under the weather. I sure hope you feel better soon. It has been going around here too. I am sure you will back at your machine sewing up a storm soon. I was elated with what I was able to find at the thrift stores. I think it was just my lucky day. Lol. Have a Blessed day and take care. Hugs.
DeleteWow - $19 - even my dh Mike was surprised at that! He even said they hadn't a clue about quilts. LOL! And the first one is just as gorgeous! You're so talented - it would be an easy fix for you!
ReplyDeleteMay I ask where in AL? We'll be traveling through there soon.
Have a great day. Blessings!
I agree, Donna. Whoever priced it did not realize how much work went into that quilt. I couldn't believe it and couldn't snatch it up quick enough. Jackson, Marshall and Madison counties all have great thrift stores. We start in the early morning and hit as many as we can. If you google the area you will find a list of them ; the smaller mom and pop ones are where I find a lot of my finds. Hope you get to visit some. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteOh Melisa, you scored big time on your quilty finds. Simply incredible!
ReplyDeleteI was over the moon, Robin. I think it was a good day to be thrifting and I was very lucky. Lol. I hope you had a wonderful day. It is hard to believe this week is 1/2 way over. Hugs.
DeleteWhat a haul indeed! The wedding ring is so pretty. . .it was the one pattern I wanted to make when I started quilting. I haven't made one though! The hexagon quilt was a total steal! What an amazing layout. As for the Pioneer comforter. . .of course it has to be paired with your Summer Days quilt! --TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteTerry, it was just a fabulous day all around. I think it was my lucky day for sure. I have always wanted to make a wedding ring too, but have yet to try my hand at it. I am still too intimidated. Lol. Have a beautiful day and thank you for the sweet visit. . Hugs.
DeleteWhat wonderful finds! A day that didn't start out too hopeful became wonderful. The basket quilt is as amazing as the wedding ring. I really love the little girl on the pillow, so elegant looking!
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful day to be out and about. Finding the quilts was the icing on the cake. Isn't that little girl the cutest. ? Love those vintage fabrics. Thank you for the sweet Wednesday visit. Hugs.
DeleteOh my goodness that is amazing what you found! Really gorgeous treasures! I love that wedding ring quilt design, how the reds pop out, and the quilting design------total swoon!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to piece a wedding ring, but have yet to do so, Kathy. I was doing the happy dance when hubby spotted that quilt. It is my 1st wedding ring. Thank you for the sweet Wednesday visit. Happy quilting.
DeleteWow, wow and wow! You scored some beauties. You were definitely in the right place at the right time.
ReplyDeleteIt was my lucky day, Darlene and I was over the moon. Wish all my thrifty adventures were filled with "quilt finds" . Lol. Hope you had a super day. Thank you for dropping by for a visit. Hugs.
DeleteThe quilts are very beautiful and I also love the pillow with the Sunbonnet Sue.

I have an affection for Sunbonnet Sue and her friends. The little pillow was just too precious in its vintage fabrics. Thank you so much, Annelies for the sweet visit. . Have a beautiful day. Hugs.

ReplyDeleteDi, it was a great day to be out thrifting and it was my lucky day for sure. Isn't the pillow just darling? I love the colors the quilter chose for the pillow. Have a wonderful day and thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteThat is an incredible hexie quilt. Makes me want to grab my hexie papers and get started on one for myself! The wedding ring quilt is beautiful as well. You made out quite well, for sure!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing, Susie? I do not think whoever priced it knew how special that quilt was. I feel very fortunate that I was able to give it a new home as well as the wedding ring. Thank you for the sweet visit . Hugs.

DeleteOMGoodness! What treasures you found! And at such amazing prices! I am so impressed with hexie quilts. The dedication in making them is mind boggling to me. Beautiful Double Wedding Ring. An easy fix for you, for sure. Your Summer Days quilt will fit perfectly with the Pioneer Woman set you found and the little pillow fits right in, too! What a great day you had!
ReplyDeleteGinny , I could not believe my luck and it is unbelievable that the hexie quilt was priced so low. I do not think the person who priced it knew how special it was. I am still plugging away on my Summer Days quilt. Fingers crossed it will be completed soon.Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteWow what a wonderful shopping trip! You found a lot of treasures. It makes my heart so happy to know you'll be taking good care of them. Love the idea of your Summer Days quilt displayed with the Pioneer Woman quilt you found. They would be so cute together! Better get crackin' on it! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

It was certainly my lucky day, Jennifer. I can not believe I found those treasures. Lol I had high hopes to have my Summer Days quilt complete by now, but I am still plugging away. Now I am ready to quilt the borders. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteWow!! What awesome finds. I love wedding ring quilts and I'm sure you will get it repaired. The hexie basket quilt is gorgeous too! You had a very productive trip. Summer Days and Pioneer Woman were made for each other!
ReplyDeleteI had a great day being out and about, Brenda. I feel like it was certainly my lucky day to find those quilts. The hexie basket quilt is a big one too- perfect for my king sized bed. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteAmazing finds Melisa! I love the quilts, I am sure you will be able to repair the wedding ring quilt! And the Thanksgiving cross stitch already looks amazing! Hugs!

DeleteYou always find the best things. I love your sunbonnet Sue! I wish they had great shops where I live. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Carol. Lol I do love to go thrift shopping ; sometimes there are good shopping trips ; sometimes not. Isn't that Sunbonnet Sue as cute as a button and love the vintage fabrics in it too. We have one good thrift shop where I live, but otherwise I have to travel to go to a number of them. You never know what you will find . Have a fabulous week, dear. Hugs.
DeleteThat hexie basket quilt is an amazing find!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't snatch the hexie quilt up fast enough, Jeanna. I was jumping with glee . It was a great day to be thrift store shopping . Thank you for the sweet visit . Hugs.
