I'm gonna dream about eBay tonight!!

Do you ever do that? When you work hard on something all day, then you dream about it at night? Well, I've been tending to my eBay store , adding lots of new stuff that I had been meaning to for ages. I do most items with Best Offer, but I do get a little cranky when someone offers less than half price on one item. I'll be listing a bunch of single items at auction starting at .01. These are all new books, but not the 'latest' books. I've added 2 new lines from MODA. I don't usually get so much fabric, but hey, this was named "HELLO BETTY" by Chloe's Closet. (Chloe is my new granddaughters name). How could I resist??

Also found three vintage pillow covers at an estate sale before Christmas. Going to list those this evening as well. Don't know much about them but hopefully someone will find them and want them. After spending many hours doing updates, and having to re-create every listing due to rule changes that ebay implented about shipping charges. I ended up spending way more time on each entry than usual. Tomorrow, back to work quilting for the quilt show. Have several custom quilts that need some special attention. Today, I just couldn't bring myself to work on those and just quilted easy peasy pantos.

eBay is a dangerous thing!

While we were in Atlanta, sitting out Hurricane Ike and waiting on new grandbaby, I found some great buys on eBay! Always a dangerous thing! I will post some pictures of the quilt tops that I scored! Now I will need to update my list of things to do!

I'm really pleased with this bear claw top. It's old, and hand pieced. I would like to finish this one, just need to find some appropriate fabric for the backing.
I'm showing a couple of the pictures. Probably paid too much for them, but what is it about that little thing that makes you keep bidding once you've found something you like? This blue and yellow one is pretty nice, trying to figure out what kind of quilting it should get.
One of the auctions I won, said it was VINTAGE AMISH BLCOKS. Well, I don't buy that after receiving them. Since they were pieced on foundation paper that had "Shoofly Part A" printed on the backside. Of course she didn't mention that in the description. Well, with any auction you take your chances, and for the most part, I was very pleased with what I got. I only paid $3 for the blocks, and they are nicely pieced, so not a total loss.
Another one that I'm very pleased with is this bouquet flower top. I have always loved this pattern, and have always wanted to make one. I think this makes it so I don't have to piece it, but now just need to finish it. Again, need to find something appropriate for the backing. Think I might go with a nice muslin or colored solid that is representitive of the 30's.
