It was a good day to be thrifting! Mr. Pinker wanted to peek into a thrift store that sometimes has "manly things" and look what he found me!

| An Alabama find |
Eeeh! A quilt top and at just $15, I was running to the register like a bandit. 😀
Hmm. I wonder what this block is called. Do you know?
I think I will call this quilt Tumbleweeds. It sorta has a patriotic/ Americana feel to it doesn't it?
 |
| Each block is framed with 1" sashing. |
The quilt top is a full size top and machine pieced There are 20 blocks in creams , browns and blue. The 1 inch sashing is in red with green corner blocks. What do you think? Should I take a moment to do the happy dance? I do believe Tumbleweeds deserves a hoedown! Yee Haw!
And now for Mr. Pinker- well he did a jig right out to the truck with a fishing lure in hand so he was a happy thrifter too. Yep, it was a good day to be thrifting.
Thank you so much for dropping by to see my latest thrifty find.
As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all

Find the magic in every day!
Hugs and Stitches!!!!🤗🧵❤
Wow wghat a find. Wonderful. Never had such luck. Well, I once saw a Quilt which I liked, that was in CDN years ago, but the price. Whoopie, too expensive. I have some graphs for quilts, so I cross-stitched them. Looks quite nice.
ReplyDeleteTumbleweeds sounds good, could also be sth with wheel.
Happy day to you, Gabi
What a great find. You always find some nice quilts. I have found a couple of quilts over the years at the antique store but never at the thrift shop. Oh well maybe someday. Have a great trip.
