Kenny's Flea Market Finds

Take a look at these colors....

Ken came home the other weekend with these cones of thread.  He said "I don't know if you can use them, but I felt sorry for the older lady who was selling them."  Apparently, she didn't have much on her yard sale table and he felt he had to by something.  I think they are awesome!  I don't know if I can use them for longarming (but I'm going to try - these cones are huge!), but I can certainly use them for applique if they aren't strong enough for quilting.

I have them sitting out on my sewing room table right now - just yummy!

Here are two more knick-knacky things my dear husband came home with the other week.  This cute little treadle machine with a "quilt" in progress....it's very sweet.

This shadowbox of buttons is really cool and will hang on the wall in my sewing room...I love the "wallpaper" used as a background - I think it really pulls the whole idea together.  I don't know how old this is, but it really gives off an "old-fashioned vibe.  The buttons look fairly old too.

I have a second installment of Kenny's Flea Market Finds.  Along with a bunch of great items for our daughter's new digs in the city, he found a few very cute figures with a quilty theme (and luckily he only brought one home with him - I really am running out of room!).

This one is a winter scene of two little boys sledding with a very cute puppy with a mini log cabin quilt as the backdrop.  No, it's not a real log cabin quilt, but a very realistic "cheater" that is actually quilted around every teeny little log! The quilt measures 6"x6", so you can imagine how small each log is. On the back the label says it's from The Amish Heritage Collection.

Here's a close up of the mini quilt:

Now, where to put it?!
