How much entertainment can $2.00 give?

At the Melbourne Quilt show last week, there was a used book and magazine table. They had boxes and boxes of older quilt magazines that were donated by their members. The girls behind the table said they had sold over half of the used magazines already. They were selling them 5 for $1.00. What a steel. I picked up 10 of the McCall's Quilting magazines. I really like that magazine but I've never subscribed to that magazine.

That's a lot of entertainment that I'll get out of that $2.00. Money well spent as far as I'm concerned.

what a steal. Don't you love that. I plan on stealing some of the magazines beside your coach on the way back from Kittery too... hee hee

All the quilt shows in South Florida have that bargain table....I have a fairly extensive library as a result. This a,m. I am off to the Fort Lauderdale quilt show.

I am curious, you mentioned that you had too much fabric. Just how much is too much? (I still have space in my studio, so I guess I am not there!!!)

Hi Gail: I saw that you won a nice little package of "goodies" for your "green tip" in the Quilting Connection magazine. Congratulations. I am enjoying your blog, but I am looking forward to your getting back home, as I need some more help with mine. Music, pictures, etc....Have a great 3 more weeks, and a good trip back...we are heading to NH this weekend for a few days...
