A few weeks ago, I took a stay-cation from work. One of the things I wanted to do was revisit the Goodwill. I went & among the curtains & linens, I found something labeled "laundry bag". The fabric looked vintage & at $2, the price was right. Examining it at home, I realized I had just gotten a feed sack that was still an actual sack! Well, this primed my thrifting pump! So in 3 days, I visited 3 Goodwill stores. At the 2nd one, I looked at the men's shirts & found lots of large (VERY large!), good quality, crisp-from-the-cleaners blue & white dress shirts. Well, what can a fabricholic do? I am now the happy owner of 12 de-boned men's dress shirts (longing for a few more, maybe some gingham & some oxford solids).
I have no business starting something new -- there's the birthday quilt I need to get busy on plus several more small gift projects & then there are aaaaaallllll the WIPs I have hanging around now.
But that didn't stop me.

Nice find on the bag and I'm glad you're finding joy in thrifting again. The shirt quilt is coming along.
I love those geese!!!!!!!!!!!
U r so my kind of friend!!!!
Your feed sack find is brilliant as are your shirting geese. I've been compelled to thrift for shirts because my husband says he doesn't feel that his own are safe unless he only buys solids:)
I'm loving those stripes....looks fabulous!!
There's nothing more fun that a good find at the thrift store! Those little swimming ducks are just precious. Absolutely love your Flying Geese!! Just gotta move when the inspirations strikes.
