My local thrift store purchases end lots from the States. Often the items are brand new with the price tags still attached. While digging through the bins I was happy to find two packages of patterns from Joanne fabrics. Each bag contained 10 patterns at a cost of $3.00 per bag. Thinking I could always give the duplicate patterns to my daughter and quilting friends I purchased both bags.
When I arrived home and opened the first package I discovered not only was the pattern included so was the fabric, cut to fit the pattern. The colour choices are not my favourite, but I can always use extra pre-cut fabric.
I knew then and there I had to get my eyes checked. According to the ophthalmologist I have cataracts which he suspects were caused by my asthma medication. I have been referred to an eye surgeon, as surgery is the best option at this point.
I don’t know if I am becoming a hypochondriac or just getting old.
Huh.
yay for patterns, boo for cataracts?
Oh my gosh what a tremendous find, you are blessed!
Get those eyes checked. I just had my second cataract surgery in March and I haven’t seen things so clearly, brightly and colorfully since I was a child!

Thanks Sue, my Dad said the same thing after his cataract surgery
