"New" Truck

Today we brought home a "new" truck. I believe it's a 1984 Ford. It's mainly for hauling garbage and wood so we don't need anything fancy.

Of course, today being Tuesday, it's thrift day. I scored all these fabrics, some only scraps and some bigger pieces and the iron for a spare, all for $8. The brown stripe and the plain red are heavier fabrics that may find their way into bags. I can see a couple of Christmas bags with the red paisley and the poinseta fabric.

Thrift Shopping

We went to Portage, a couple of hours drive away, and of course had to stop at their thrift store. I did very well in the fabric department. These pieces are all about 3 yards and at $1 per yard, a very good deal. I was happy to find the blacks and polka dots. The big flowers on the orange background may turn into an apron. I like the 70's look but it's not great fabric for quilting. I saw an apron made out of a lined square used diagonally with the top point tuned down. If that's not clear, check back in a couple of days and I may have a sample done.
