What have I been doing....you ask

As if I haven't got enough UFO's and WIP's on the the go....

and I'm still working on my PhD's

I'm now frequently visiting the thrift shops...

in search of 100% wool.

On January 1st I met up with Mama Spark at the Salvation Army Thrift shop.
I think it is a Canadian saying....
I referred to the 'Salvation Army Thrift shop' as the 'Sally Ann'
and Mama Spark wasn't sure where I was going....

It was yellow tag day....buy 5 yellow tag items for $5.00.

We got 30 100% wool garments for $30.00.

Every Friday and Saturday they have a different color that is offered 5 for $5.00

On Friday I was back again and it was blue ticket items.

Yes, 10 more 100 % wool garments.

...and now this is what I've been doing
unstitching...thank goodness for a good seam ripper!!
12 garments unstitched and 28 more to go....

I'm learning....I'm now checking plus sizes first....lot more fabric than a size 2..

...more bang for your buck
and 2 piece suits count as 1 item...
...a great big bang for your buck.

Skirts and slacks have more usable wool than the blazers.

The men's department has a lot of 100% wool too...

....and now I'll be looking for the 100% cottons thanks to
Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville.
