I got my quilt out the door and in the mail in record time. I can't show it to you though... one of THOSE awesome deals=) And there was a surprise waiting for me on my counter.
This old box just sat there.
My husband told me that a girl I know dropped it off for me thinking I could use it.
Guess what was in it?
Vintage lace!
It gets better....
VINTAGE RIC RAC!! Okay, who is screaming now? I am, I am. Wait, it actually gets better.
Two toned and sparkly ric rac! I almost wrote this post in all capital letters, it is just that exciting! They don't even make this stuff anymore.
I was so happy, I started free motion quilting circles. As you know I love circles, and dots, and ric rac. Life is good!

Fun stuff.
Your circle quilting looks great. My circles are never that round.
I have always loved rick rack but much of it was 'cleared out' in my sewing room clean up! Actually I sold a bunch of the sparkly rick rack in my etsy shop -- it went pretty quick, so other people love it too!
I like the one that is slightly pointy and also sparkly. What a good friend to give you those!
Lucky you
nice gift
What awesome treats to receive.
How fun , love vintage notions and rickrack is at the top of the list !
I love the box lid.
I love the box lid.
How do you do circles that look like circles when machine quilting? Mine look like squares....lol.
Wow. Cool. I would have squealed, too! Lucky girl!
love the ricrac - now you don't have to do a summer auction!
Love the vintage laces and rick-racks! I have a bunch like these from my grandmother's stash, including a couple of the metallic ones. The price tags are still on some of the packages of rick-rack - 15 cents and 25 cents - but she bought them at half price (original prices are crossed out) for 8 cents and 13 cents!
Love the ricracs! It' s those kinds of things that feed our creative souls. Excellent circles....I can't wait to try my new sewing machine out on those!
