Holy cow! What great finds. My most productive estate sale of a quilter had an entire sunroom of fabric yardage and fat quarters. The garage had kits, and tables of jelly rolls, layer cakes, etc. You could buy a kitchen sized trash bag for $30 and cram it as full as you could. I spent a couple of hours going through the fabric and very carefully folding and arranging it into the bag. When I got home I weighed the bag and had managed to get 35 pounds of fabric into the bag! I had yardages I have used as backings on several quilts, neutrals for scrappy backgrounds and loads of 30’s fat quarters. It was SO much fun!!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Oh my gosh, Vicki! That sounds amazing!! It's a once in a lifetime opportunity and SO MUCH FUN!!

[@lindanonnenmann1112]

I agree with you, how can you criticize a woman who was so productive, artistic, and creative? Her interests were so varied, you know she had her finger in alot of pies, as the saying goes. My favorites were the Japanese fabrics and the dolls that we only got a glimpse of. Beautiful fabric...i was drooling over the fat quarters and the wool. She had big ideas...and big dreams!

[@colleen2503]

As an “older” quilter, I have to tell you that it was heartwarming to see a younger woman like you appreciate the quilter’s estate sale haul. That woman’s work and collections will be treasured and perhaps finished or passed on to someone else. I fear everything of mine will be thrown in the trash when I’m gone! I enjoyed this so much.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thank you so much, Colleen! I hope she would be happy to know that the treasures she collected were valued after she passed. We never know what will happen to our stuff when we're gone, but I'm hopeful that all of our stash will be discovered and enjoyed by our fellow crafters out there, one day! In the meantime, we get to enjoy it!!

[@constancepentzer3017]

I have instructed my husband and my grown kids that, if I should die, they are to call my quilty friends to come take whatever they want and anything else is to go to the Salvation Army.

[@cweirich40]

That owner of those items is probably smiling in heaven know her cherished things went to your house. Thank you for sharing.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

That idea brings me so much joy, thank you!!

[@clarekalantar]

I’m not a quilter but it was really fun to go along with you to this lady’s estate sale. It kinda makes you think about your own stash and where it will end up!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks so much, Clare! It was a lot of fun, but I think it was even more fun because I got to share it!

[@jackandbonniebreuer554]

I watched every bit of this video. I even saved it to watch again. I am so glad that you are giving this quilters things a new home. I am 71 and seeing the amount of projects that the woman had was a wake up call for me to stop buying things and try to finish as much of what I have before starting other things. It was wonderful to see a younger person so excited to find quilting things to use and give a good home. Thank you for sharing.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks so much for the kind words, Bonnie! She had a lot of projects, but I like to think she had a lot of fun working on them! Hopefully I can complete a few of them for her. ❤

[@jimcandeeabraham9817]

Oh that was so much FUN! Thank you for taking us along! That quilter would be thrilled that you enjoyed her stash so much! You scored big!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thank you for coming along with me! I hope my enjoyment of her treasures would bring her joy!

[@suewozniak8726]

I am so happy you are giving a second life to this quilter’s work and things.

[@kristyschoch5202]

Olivia, You are so right that you found some awesome treasures!! Good for you , thank you so much for sharing !! It was so much fun watching how excited you are with your new finds ! I love how honored you are to have the items from this beautifully talented women . I am sure she is smiling down on you 😇! I hope some day the items I have are appreciated as much !

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

That's so nice of you to say, Kristy, thank you! I really hope it would bring her joy to know how much joy her beautiful stash is bringing me!

[@robbiebowie6505]

That is the prettiest flannel I have ever seen❤️❤️❤️

[@tammyb78]

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you for rescuing all of the wonderful quilt stash. The person must have been a prolific quilter and crafter. Wow! Her room was full. All those books: gimme gimme gimme! I bet there were some nice vintage ones. I have the same Primitive Gatherings Garden BOM, otherwise I would purchase it from you. Mine is still sitting in the closet. Enjoy all your goodies!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thank you, Tammy! Am I hero? Yes, definitely. 🤣 That's so cool that you have that BOM! I need to figure out if I'm going to take it on myself or find it a good home. Her book collection was amazing and inspiring!

[@lorrainemcgeough9596]

Just came across your KZbin video and found it amazing. Thank you for letting me enjoy your finds which you got some wonderful buys. I know you will treasure this lady's fabrics and crafts. It seems you have the same style like that I do and that is why I enjoyed your video so much. Looking forward to more.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks so much, Lorraine! I truly do treasure it and look forward to working with it over the coming years. ❤

[@bethcornelius4156]

Wow, what a terrific estate sale. I'm impressed how non-judgmental you are. You definitely respected her 'stuff' and she would be happy you are finding so much joy in her stash!!!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks so much, Beth! I'm happy for her that she had such a fun stash to enjoy!

[@kimberlywheeler223]

Thank you for sharing! Loved this video !

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

You're so welcome! Thanks for watching!!

[@RedwoodsAndRain]

Ohhhh, the French General…the books! Higdon Camp…just stop it right now! I’ll have to check out estate sales but don’t really enjoy Bay Area traffic. I’m about 2 hours from Concord and am a big weeny in crowds. I’ll just have to live vicariously through you! Sally in Cazadero 😁

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Hi Sally! Bay Area traffic is no fun! And unfortunately estate sales can get very crowded. This one was definitely worth both, though!

[@cherylmarch9293]

Wow! The lady had a lot of wonderful things! You were blessed for sure getting some wonderful quilting supplies!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

I sure am, Cheryl! I would have liked to have hung out with her, just based on the wonderful collection of things she had in her home. We definitely have some passions in common!

[@juliemattes2938]

Treasures for sure! I would go back, too, and I enjoyed the vicarious trip, and what you got. Thoroughly enjoyed.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Julie! I have no regrets! 😁

[@lanelles242]

Love,love the flannel♥️♥️♥️ I have a flannel quilt my Grandma made I treasure dearly…what a score u made Olivia all the reds French general are stunning as are the Japanese fabrics!! I was just drooling you truly made Estate sale Gold…enjoy all your treasures guilt FREE…

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thank you, LaNelle!! I truly hit the jackpot. I would have loved to have hung out with the lady who had that stash. I'm glad I can treasure some of the things that she did, in her absence.

[@paulinelarson465]

Butternut and Blue are the fabrics that Civil War uniforms were made out of. The Confederate tan was work clothing fabric, dyed with nutshell dye. The North had more manufactured fabrics with more experience, higher grade blue dye.

[@jonij794]

Thanks for sharing your excitement over your finds. Enjoy!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thank you for watching!

[@texstylust]

Oh my gosh, my heart was racing the entire video. I squeezed at least five times. What a fantastic estate sale. I haven’t hit a jackpot like that yet, so maybe I need to put out some specific intentions to the universe! I just loved seeing the joy and happiness on your face!!😊

[@dajillybean]

Oh my gosh! So glad you went back on half off day and got some more HAUUUUUUULLLLLLLL and took us along. I love crafting estate sales and wouldn't have restrained myself at all. Glad you got the candle screen frames too! And I'm high just from the fumes lol

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Lol! I swear I was shaking at some points! I am SO glad I went back! Now I need to find a good way to store these beautiful treasures!

[@varshakean6331]

Thanks Olivia for sharing I have never seen so many beautiful stuff.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks for joining me!!

[@donnabennett5106]

Such Beautiful treasures Olivia, Thankyou for sharing 👍🇳🇿❤️🪡

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks for watching, Donna!

[@afreespirit1]

What an experience!!!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Seriously!! I'm so grateful for it!

[@sharonannc.3079]

Wow what an amazing Women!! Treasures …. All those memories fir her loved ones.. & work to remove. I’m too enjoy Estate sales here. In my city thee are a lot of Estate sales.. Lovely to unwind like this.. Blessings, Olivia

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Sharon! It's an amazing experience to go to an estate sale of someone you know you'd have a lot to talk to about! I'm so thankful that I get an opportunity to treasure some of her treasures.

[@donnawilliams7478]

I would have been in heaven. I love to save old quilts and projects. To me 3 hours is not long for 3 rooms of stuff to rescue.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Donna! I think I hit every nook and cranny! lol!

[@maryexton7929]

I've never watched one of your videos before. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for posting it. I'm getting close to 70 ys old and was just diagnosed as diabetic on top of other health issues. I have tons of fabric, sewing, quilting, needlework, spinning, weaving, and lots of other supplies, tools, machines... I hope when it's my time to leave this earth, that some talented ladies get all of my stashes and things, and make good use of them. I especially hope someone finishes my WIPs.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Hi Mary, I'm sure someone will love to discover the amazing stash you leave behind! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy it as much as possible!

[@joycheek6756]

All of this ladies hand applique blocks would be beautiful as framed art for your home. I couldn't part with them lol

[@susangriffin7411]

Wow, how exciting, You made me giggle as you drove back for day #2. I loved all the applique and Blackbird books. Plus all the fabric. Treasures obtained over the years, this dear lady would be so pleased to share with a fellow lover of fabric and quilting. She was truly a creative soul and collector of items that brought her joy.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Susan! I KNEW there was no way I was going to stay away! I gave myself plenty of reasons, they just weren't good enough apparently, lol. I like to think she'd be happy to know that some of her treasures will be treasured in her absence. ❤

[@red_river_stitcher]

WOWZA!!!! Such fun!! Nothing better than a sale!!! So much fun to hit the jackpot!! Thanks for sharing!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

My pleasure! It was a blast!!

[@bonniekimble1489]

Awesome!!! You got so many wonderful fabric, kits and books at the estate sale. You are one lucky girl. I have a lot of the same books in my collection and treasure them dearly. I have made the Snowbound quilt by Jan Patek, I get it out every winter. There's not enough time to make all the quilts and projects I want to and I hope someone who loves sewing will want all my things when I'm gone and my kids have an estate sale. So happy you found some great treasures!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Bonnie! It's so amazing that you've made that quilt. These books really are treasures. These designers are so creative and every quilt in those books is so distinct and different that it amazes me. You're right, there's not enough time to make all of them, so I'm going to aim to enjoy the ones I do get to make. I didn't see any large completed quilts in her home, just WIPs and some small wall hangings, so I think her family must have kept her finished quilts to treasure, which makes me happy.

[@helenwilliams7112]

What a haul! Your time was well spent! I really enjoyed watching your entire video, but then I got to thinking about all the fabric that I have and books and magazines and who's going to benefit from my stash??? Thanks for helping me to refocus and to continue with my mantra for 2023 into 2024: "Use my stash!"

[@carylminard448]

All I can say is just WOW 🤩. It is a great feeling finally finding your unicorns at a great price.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

It really is, Caryl! So much fun!

[@maybee...]

Olivia, When you said you needed to bring honor to this woman's stash you had me. I am a quilter and often wonder what will happen to the thousand's of $$$$$ I have invested in my hobby. I have a wonderful sewing room that I flatter myself any quilter would be in heaven visiting. I have a Singer 7 drawer treadle machine that is complete with two instruction booklets and the box of pressure feet and bobbins. My daughter is a master seamstress who does alterations, I hope she will treasure this one thing. Thank you for bringing us along on your treasure hunt and bringing honor to this woman's treasures. Now that I have found you're channel I will be subscribing.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm sure your daughter will absolutely treasure your Singer. And I know that your stash will find its way to the loving homes of fellow quilters one day. Until then, maybe roll around in your fabric stash every once in a while just to remind yourself how lucky we are to have a hobby that brings us so much joy! 😁

[@joannemoore826]

Oh MY GOSH! Could you here me cheering for you? Blackbird, reproduction prints AND Yoko Saito and Japanese Taupes? Yay Olivia!!! Hang on to those taupes as they are so hard to come by. There is an old magazine called Asian Fabric Magazine. They have patterns specifically for those Geisha type prints as focus blocks. I am so thrilled for you. Thank you so much for sharing your adventure and score!!! I am going to check on the estate sale link you mentioned. I had no idea you can get a heads up on the contents. How wonderful that precious possessions are now in new precious hands!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thank you so much, Joanne! Now I know it was your voice that I heard urging me on!! :) Seriously, I don't know how I got so lucky. And those Japanese taupes are GORGEOUS!! I will look into the magazine you mentioned, thanks!

[@paulaphillips9745]

I loved watching! Thanks for sharing!

[@apylinski]

Wow you made a great haul. All that French General fabric and all the WIP pieces. Love, love all of them.

[@ramonawalter5555]

You hit the mother load for quilters. Great find thanks for sharing.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

I sure did, Ramona! Thank you for watching!

[@Thundergigglez]

Amazing finds! So many of those fabric patterns would make adorable mug rugs. Enjoy your treasures! 🪡🧵

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thank you! And great idea!

[@egv9423]

I loved everything you got and was super excited when you went back.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thank you! I couldn't stay away, and I'm glad I didn't!

[@marybianchi8061]

Congratulations! Those are incredible finds! Love those baskets.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Mary! Those were such an amazing find!

[@karenjohnson8177]

Oh my gosh. Those books for $1 each! It was a lot of work to go through all of them, I'm sure. A lifetime of inspiration in them. Have fun dreaming of projects.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

It was heaven going through those books! What a collection! There's nothing like going dreaming of projects, is there?

[@joycesmith1270]

It took me back to my shopping sprees ,so mush fun to find a good bargain. Thank you for the fond memories.

[@marvaweir2656]

You scored big time! How exciting that you found so many wonderful fabrics, books and patterns. That may have been a once in a lifetime estate sale for sure!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Definitely! Estate sales like that don't come along every day!

[@mncallender]

I loved this video!! Eased my mind as to what will happen with all my sewing quilting stash when I’m gone. Someone sweet like you will come to my estate sale and be thrilled at the bargains they get, just like I planned. Thank you again.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

They certainly will! I hope to supply my own amazing estate sale one day! 😁

[@lindaspost2533]

OMG what a great video and what wonderful treasures. Thank you for taking us along. I love estate sales. That was a great one. ❤

[@danalewis9866]

you made me laugh. i found myself getting excited along with you. i loved the french general fabrics, and the gardening kit with the wool made my heart sing. and finally those books! thanks for the fun ride!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Dana! It was so much fun!!

[@autumneidson]

Oh that kit is amazing!! How gorgeous it will be when finished.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Yes, it's beautiful!

[@crosshatchquilts]

What an amazing haul! It went to the right person and I know she’d be happy!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thank you, Kristy! I'd like to think she'd be happy to know that someone is treasuring some of her treasures in her absence.

[@deborahdillard7761]

Love those flannels 🥰🥰

[@trixietricycle]

This was so fun to watch Olivia! I am completely motivated to pull out some of my fabrics and make some bags and continue working on my WIP of The Raven quilt. So cool!!!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Jody! I'm going to be starting The Raven soon! I can't wait!!

[@goldenstitcher]

So glad you went back. I love your enthusiasm for everything you got. I’ll be watching your site for project bags!❤

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Lol!! Susan!! I love the project bag pressure! I'm starting to get serious about organizing my craft room so I can get back to sewing, and hopefully back on that project bag train! I mean, I'd better with that haul.

[@sandifriest1857]

What treasures! Lucky lady!

[@StitchingWithTheSisterlies]

Awesome finds❤️

[@connieenevold1745]

That was amazing! Thanks for sharing your ‘high’ with us. Good girl for going back, you really earned that haul. Can’t wait to see what you do with it🤗

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Connie! I knew I wouldn't be able to stop myself from going back, lol. I'm glad I did, and I can't wait to make all the things!

[@willowhilldesigns7]

Amazing treasures! What wonderful finds for you. It was so nice to see how much you appreciate her treasures. I’m sure she’d be pleased. TFS!

Beautiful fabrics, love estate sales

[@StitchingWithTheSisterlies]

I can’t wait to watch your progress on the baskets! Omg! I think I’ll do it as well

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

OMG Colleen, let's do it!! You and I could trade some we've made, and both use some of hers if you want!!

[@Cassieboce]

Wonderful treasures.😊

[@LinzeyJoy]

I just watched this video! I love everything you found! It’s wonderful that you appreciate and treasure the work of another Quilter! I recognized the fabric that looks like cross stitch - I thought that was based on a Blackbird Design! I have 3 friends that did the appliquéd garden quilt and 2 friends that did the basket quilt!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thank you so much for the kind words! That's amazing about your friends! Those quilts must be beautiful!

[@ma555680]

Absolutely beautiful

[@cathybehle-ernst5796]

WOWZA! What neat finds . . . .well done! It's fun but sad at the same time

[@lisaschindler9821]

That was an awesome sale and was so much fun going along with you!! I love going to those as well and finding treasures even if I don’t end up using them either😊

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

It's so much fun, isn't it! I love the treasure hunt, and then one day you find the treasure and it's amazing!

[@lorinicholas9139]

WOW!! Thanks so much for taking us along. So much quilty goodness and potential. It was the next best thing to actually being in the hunt with you. Look forward to seeing what wonders you create!!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Lori! I wish I could have taken you all in person, but this was the next best thing!

[@eljay5623]

Oh my gosh! My dream estate sale! I’m excited for you! 🙌🏼

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks!!

[@heather9328]

Gosh, that lady’s stash could have easily stocked a shop I think. Just sooo much wonderful stuff. Looking at what was left on the last day I can’t help wondering what treasures were sold on the first day 😳 Hopefully it has all ended up with people like you who will love and appreciate what they have bought. Enjoy.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thank you, Heather! She had some nice sewing machines that went fast, I think. I think I must have also lucked out that there didn't seem to be a lot of quilters/hoarders with my taste there, so there was still so much awesomeness left for me to find!

[@GiselaSuski]

So happy with your treasure - so wonderful, lucky you.

[@Scoopy38]

Yes the stash is amazing but oh my gosh, her hair! Gorgeous.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks! ❤

[@scottydog6539]

Wow, she was really a beautiful stitcher. You really had a great find. Those are wonderful. I love the wagon and house piece. A quilt guild would love to go through those items. She had lots of hobbies.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Would you be interested in finishing the wagon and house piece? I mean, the top is all done, but it needs to be quilted and bound. If that's something you're interested in, let me know. I would love to send it to a good home where it would be completed. It would be better than letting it languish in my stash.

[@user-sd3bj7ki9j]

I have some of that house flannel. The store sample had the house blocks cut out with alternate log cabin blocks. It's still waiting for me to make into a quilt 😂

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

That sounds amazing!!

[@conniesiefken4696]

Wow, Olivia! What finds! I went to a sale once where a quilter/teacher was downsizing because of a move from IA to AZ. I bought so much, and have used a fair amount of it. She sold by weight, so you just put your finds on a baby scale, and I think it was $6 per pound. I have since given some of it away to a group of women who sew baby quilts for different groups.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

That's awesome, Connie! I can't imagine I'll get around to using everything I bought, but I'll find some good homes for it eventually, and enjoy it in my stash in the meantime.

[@kimladd3914]

Dang!!! That was one fun video!!! WooHoo for Maddie-that’s gonna be one “Happy Mail” day for her

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Lol! Thanks, Kim! It was fun to make!

[@tinaneely1]

I just found you and I love your Vlog. And I agree with everyone else. It's wonderful to see you go and by the stuff from the Quilter's house. I am older and I tell my kids please don't just throw all my fabric away. Someone will love it.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks so much, Tina! There will always be people out there who will love our stash when we can no longer can use it!

[@marywise2014]

I found your channel today and so enjoyed your treasure finds. A three yard quilt would be a great quilt for the Japanese fabric in my opinion. Haven't finished the video just yet, but I will continue. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks for the idea, Mary!

[@kathygutzman9742]

Oh, my goodness! I'm not a quilter but those fabrics are beautiful. I wouldn't have been able to sleep that night if I had been at that sale. How exciting!❤

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Lol! Thanks, Kathy! There was definitely a lot of adrenaline involved!

[@mm-qm9zh]

Hi, Olivia! This was such a fun video, and also very humbling as well. I’m so happy that someone who truly loves and appreciates all the treasures this lady had and enjoyed throughout her life is now honoring them and getting so much joy from them…it’s just beautiful! I’m sure your friend Mattie will appreciate getting to share in them as well. 🥰 Even though I am not a quilter, I sure enjoyed seeing all those gorgeous fabrics and the beautiful things that lady had made. Thank you so much for sharing your joy with us! ❤ Meline

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thank you so much, Meline! I'm still loving going through her books and seeing which projects she was excited about. Her treasures definitely deserved to be honored!

[@PellyjellyMom]

What a wonderful legacy of quilts and hand work. Shelters and places like Police ir Fure Departments can use small quilts to gift to children who are sometimes remanded to their care or due to fires or accidents.

[@PellyjellyMom]

Complete fat finger Fire Departments

[@kankerdoodleb9149]

I don't need or even want anything for quilting, enough here to last a lifetime and I've already downsized. But I still would have bought stuff 🤣🤣🤣 Such a great collection of all that I love!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Lol! I definitely didn't need anything either, but there was no way I was walking away!!

[@lollipopc4901]

Wow Olivia! You were definitely the right person in the right place at the right time! I think the previous owner would think so as well. Have fun with it all! 🙂💖 Laurel

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Laurel! I feel like one lucky lady!

[@janetratliff9450]

Estate sale of a life time!!! Congratulations on you purchases! I would love to find a kit for primitive garden. It is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Janet!

[@lisadaigle5089]

How great for you to have rescued some of the woman's WIPs along with all that gorgeous fabric. If you do find time to make project bags, I would buy one in the blue teacup fabric. Great score! I'm so happy for you!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thank you, Lisa! I do think that teacup fabric would make a lovely bag! And I'm so thankful for all of the beautiful items of hers that I was able to rescue.

[@michellebustamante3507]

I am a quilter , and that's amazing. She had no family.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

I'm not sure that's true. I think it's likely that they kept the quilts that she made, but preferred to pass along her stash.

[@pamlacey136]

What a fantastic video!! You found some real treasures in fabrics, books, and projects. I especially love the Japanese fabrics with the beautiful ladies, so gorgeous. You had a couple of fabrics from the second day that I think you said were in with Jo Morton fabrics, and they were beautiful florals with stripes/borders. I wonder if they would be pretty with a print of the Japanese ladies used in the quilt top like a panel and then add fabrics to them like the florals, etc to make a quilt top. I love to piece quilts and I did an applique block when you taught that online using a Blackbird book. I do have a QAL that is applique but it is not my favorite thing to do even though I absolutely love the look of it. You are going to have so much fun going through every thing and deciding what to make first! Beautiful fabric is truly a big rabbit hole to fall down, but I truly love it. I have not been doing much cross stitch since I found quilting - I absolutely love it!! Have fun with all of your beautiful finds. It does make me sad that some people are so eager and ready to judge a collection of this lady who we know truly enjoyed what she did and loved everything that she collected!! I am so glad that you were able to save some of her treasures and give it all a good home!! Happy quilting………………..

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thank you so much, Pam! I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying quilting! And those are lovely ideas!

[@scottydog6539]

Your second trip was even better. Great items for you.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

I'm definitely glad I went back!

[@suephillips356]

I have Primitive Gardens in progress. I need to do three more blocks and then I have the all center blocks appliquéd. I have done my appliqué in wool. The blocks are beautiful. You inspire me to get it back out and finish it.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

That sounds amazing, Sue! Definitely worth getting back to!

[@Dianaprimartinez]

Beautiful beautiful beautiful.

[@jonigoodmanson2179]

Love it all!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thank you! Me too!

[@megfreeth4377]

You should make a jacket with those Japanese fabrics show them off. You lucky girl. We don’t really have sales like this in Britain x. Thanks for sharing

[@meldumas8868]

Wow. Amazing.

I adore the french generals!

[@tinakercher8768]

Very nice haul. Congratulations!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Tina!

So Olivia I was checking your tube out for the raven video and noticed the bottom video said “estate sale.” An estate sale was just announcer here where I live and it is happening mext Friday-Sunday. She was also a big quilter! I told my husband last night “All I WANT FOR MY BIRTHDAY IS TO GO TO THIS ESTATE SALE! IT BEGINS AT 9AM! “ hahahaha no but really, I will drag my little boy in there and like you, will go back Sunday! Lol
