My daughter stopped at a garage sale a couple of days ago, and called to asked if I wanted FREE quilting stuff. What's not good about that? Besides 3 rotary cutters, some template plastic, a self healing mat and some nice little boxes of pins, there were some hunks of older type calicos. They were a nice complement to use with the older orphan blocks from way back when.
We all are feeling pretty good that the orphans and older fabrics will be finding a good home after all these years of languishing in our stash boxes.
Now, I am needing to get ready to pack up for our annual trip to Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN for Hubby's kidney/liver transplant reviews. I think I have a plan - it's just a matter of finding what I want to take! LOL!
Happy and Safe Fourth of July to all!

Very nice charity quilts Sharon..pass along my praise to Shirlee too!
Good luck to you and hubby for his screening stuff. Pick a good project as I'm sure there will be waiting to be done.
Love these sweet little quilts- and so glad they are going to be adopted into good homes! Know you must be a bit nervous, but best wishes for a safe and happy trip to Mayo! Can't wait to see what you get done!
Nice quilts! I'm sure the linus folks will love them. :)
GL on your trip to Mayo. Planning on some fabric shopping on the way there or back?
You'll certainly be in my thoughts and prayers Sharon...as will your dear hubby during your trip to Mayo.

Always nice to be given those little quilting extras. Quilts in pics so precious. I have a friend who is coming up on her 12th year of liver transplant. She continues to do great. Hope your hubby's check up is great too.
I love the idea of cutting blocks in half to make the corners. I have some I might use that way on the American Hero quilts. Thanks! Your rescued blocks are wonderful!
Good luck at Mayo. I'll be thinking of you and your DH.
