She showed us this beautiful vintage dresden plate quilt she recently purchased at the thrift store for $9 - can you believe that?
She showed us this cute necklace she had made from a thrift store t-shirt. It was v-neck to start with and she just cut off the ribbing around the top. Then she cut up the t-shirt itself to make the rosette flowers, and stitched them onto the ribbing all the way around. Finishing touch was the embellishment dangling in the center.
She's gotten into paper crafts a lot lately and shared these little books she made using manilla folders that had been folded and stitched and embellished - very cute!

I haven't seen those acorns "all over blogland" but I love them. Very cute.
Why don't I ever find vintage quilts at that price in thrift stores? That is beautiful!
Did you do any quilting at this quilt meeting? : )
Wow! These are just great. I love the acorns, and the necklace esp. i can't believe that price on that quilt top! Must have been some meeting!
Love the felted acorns - did a few several years back and gave them all away...now I wish I hadn't!! Cannot - CANNOT - believe the price on that quilt! Wowsers.... Hope your week is off to a great start! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

Love the acorns but the Dresden quilt for $9? Now that's a S-T-E-A-L!
What a fun and inspiring quilt meeting!!
The acorns are adorable. Your quilts are so beautiful. I've only made a few quilts but have sewn my whole life.
Enjoy your blog.

The acorns are the cutest! I would have loved to make them with you.
Hello Gayle,
I have enjoyed reading your blog. Love the wet felted acorns. They are truly beautiful. I have wet felted wee balls but I was wondering is there a way or a technique of making them look like a acorn??
The antique quilt is lovely and what a bargain.
Happy Autumn, Hugs Judy
