Treasures

There is an interesting thread on Ravelry about special finds.  After listing them there, I thought I would share them here for my other friends to read about and share!

For me, I love garage sales, thrift stores, and flea markets. In addition to knitting, I also enjoy quilting, collecting antique quilts, and collecting (and using) antique sewing machines.
