Tuesday Morning finds!

Do you have a Tuesday Morning store in your town? We do, and it is one of my all time favorite places to visit. I always have to check out their sewing and craft supplies and today I found some really good buys. They often have Fons and Porter products. I have a F&P Scissor set and Rotary Cutter that I got there and they are really great to use.

The first is a set of EZ rule templates. These sold for $3.99 for the set of three. I looked everywhere for that Pyramid Ruler when I was wanting to start a Thousand Pyramids quilt and believe me, I paid a lot more than $3.99 for that one ruler when I found one.

My next find was EZ Rulers. Now I have a weakness for rulers and scissors and cutters. The small ruler was only $.99 and the larger one a whopping $1.50! The way I slice into my rulers when I am cutting out fabric, I can always use new ones.

And finally - like I said, I have a weakness for scissors and such..a set of Mundial Scissors for $9.99. Now the package says it is a special offer for $19.99 but I know I bought just one pair of these scissors years ago at a Piece Goods store and paid around $15 for the one pair on sale.

So, if you have a Tuesday Morning in your town, be sure to check out the craft area - you just never know what you might find.

And don't forget to sign up for my appreciation gift giveaway in the post before this one!

Happy Stitchin!

    I am a scissors/rulers/gadget fan myself. I just bought a pair of Gingher scissors at a quilt show. They are 5" knife edge scissors. This size is my favorite of all my scissors. I have larger ones, also, but I keep these smaller ones on my sewing table all the time. I have a couple other pair in my sewing kits that I take to classes, too.

    Well, I am joining the crowd! I didn't know the Tuesday Morning store had a crafts section either. I have only been in that store one time I think and that has been a while ago. Thanks for the tip Teresa!

    I love Tuesday morning - but whenever I go, can never find all the great crafty things you do! You must buy them out before I get there! :)

    We don't have Tuesday Morning stores in NH-BooHoo! Otherwise I'd be there all the time looking for great finds like these.

    They look like great finds. I wish I could buy rulers that cheap here.

    I had NO idea! Tuesday Morning is in a section of town that I never seem to visit. I think I'll change that!
