Note the bag what are the odds of finding a bag with your screen name or blogger name on it . I was just thrilled over this purchase. It was a grand thrifting day! Then off to quilting store and scored some fabric there. Farmy ones are so hard to come by here or vintage looking as in the one with measuring tape on it. So I was very pleased with my day hope yours went as well as mine did.
