My goodness your local Goodwill is AWESOME! My Goodwill NEVER has such cool stuff! Don't take such a clean, organized, well-stocked Goodwill for granted!!❤😊
I bought a big bag of fabric scraps at a thrift store a couple of years ago. I could see some pretty wool and what I was sure were fat quarters. The bag was $20. Bought it, dumped it out at home and in the middle of the bag was an entire quilt kit and pattern that had never been open and had the price tag on it. $135!!!! Plus all those fat quarters.
I use my light tracing box for Foundation Paper Piecing! Rather than guessing if you’re tracing it right, just do it over the light box! Helps for other types of tracings, too.
I am a card maker and use my score board every time I make cards. Your grands may enjoy making paper fans and butterflies for their mommy. I use my light box frequently for applique and card making, too.
Your such a nice person , am so happy for you I remember dressmaker sewing machines, their an older brand ,and when well maintained their real workhorses.
I loved your Goodwill videos. The one by me hangs their fabric with the sheets, blankets, etc. I just got over 6 yards of navy blue with little white stars in tiny circles, For 3.99. What a find.
How fun and crazy was this!!! And watching your face as you realized what you had was awesome! Love your thrifting videos, I’ve seen them all, some more than once, you’ve inspired me to try my Goodwill for quilting supplies and quilt backings.
What a great find. The lightbox is so handy for tracing patterns, tracing pictures and seeing through fabric. Mine is a light tracer II but newer and grey.
Great find and fun to watch as you opened and realized all that you had and your excitement! Thank you for sharing I call that a happy dance find. Enjoy.
I have that rotating mat and use it at retreats. It’s flat and travels better than my Martelli round one. You’re going to love it for squaring up blocks!
What a great find! You guys are so lucky to have a treasure trove of these wonderful outlets - the best we have in Blighty are charity shops and all the best donations are bagsied by the staff!
The tool was a crimping tool for jewelry making - it tightens the crimp beads to hold the other beads in place or to fasten beading wire/threads together.
That was fun! I have the exact weaving loom you were looking at in the brown box. My grandma gave it to me when I was very young and enjoyed weaving yarn. Brings back memories of her.
I have a light box. I use it to trace pictures onto fabric, which I then paint. I've done it for years. Last used to paint my granddaughters name onto a quilt block.
I have a Dressmaker Sewing machine from the 1950's. The head is all metal. The cabinet has the style of the French Provincial furniture (but it needs refinishing). I bought it inside its cabinet at a yard sale for $5.00. It sews; but, it is not my go to machine. I never got into the stamps. Your grandchildren may enjoy tracing on that light box. I would use the light box to trace paper foundation patterns for sewing scraps into beautiful blocks. You lucky lady you. Someone at Goodwill goofed. It gives me hope that I may one day find something super wonderful at Goodwill. Congratulations!
Watching your channel from Buckinghamshire, England, UK. what a great find Tracy well done. I don't know of any shops like that here. Thank you for sharing your video and excitement with us, you brightened up my evening xx
You got a great deal rotating cutting board those things are expensive. They are so nice to have. I have a little one and use it all the time.😊and light box is so nice to have. Very good deal.😊
Great haul! Yes, I am still using rubber stamps and have taken them all 10K of them off of the wood backing, put cling foam on them and indexed them in Google Keep (that took about two years). I make Junk journals and gelli art prints, plus cardmaking and still some scrapbooking. The scoring board is very useful in card making and journal making. You can make several score lines along a strip of paper to pleat it, for instance. I wish I could find that rotating cutting board at the GW. That's sort of a white whale in the crafting world!
Love goodwill or thrift store sometimes found it worth to buy so bargain to use my sewing things love it and your score for the right price like I do. , Amen.
I love thrift stores for sewing, crafting supplies. I have that scoring board by Martha Stewart. I have used that a lot. That little tool is called a mini bone folder. It helps get nice folds crds, paper.
Bone folders are nice for scoring quilting lines w/o marking your quilt w a pen. It just makes a slight crease that you can see just well enough to sew along. 🌟
The purple sew cool kids machine is battery ran and it’s no thread it mixes the fibers of felt together it’s a good first step to teach kids to sew they can’t get there fingers under the needles and no thread to deal with my daughter loved it
Great job 🎉 April has alot of stamps when she was doing scrap booking . Our Mother inlaw still does scrap booking. And making cards. Great find that rotating cutter and healing too . Great price I got one not to long ago for 40 bucks. Enjoyed your good will shopping 🛍
My local quilt store has taught a class on making your own fabric with stamps, and that sounds intriguing to me. I have also used plastic canvas as a purse bottom. I think you could use it to make quilt/fabric boxes as well. I use coloring books as patterns for applique, and for free-motion quilting motifs. Wow, I wish my Goodwill had all this good stuff!
You have an amazing craft section in yours. Ours redid them so they don't have much outside of housewares and clothing now -- so boring. Have that same light box.
Yes, you hit the jackpot. I knew as soon as I saw the circle diagram on the front. As I recall they are more than $50. I also knew the lite box was over a $100 because it took me a long time to buy one to trace off applique patterns. A lot easier than holding the paper up to a window.
You won the jackbox! I have the Jo Anne's scoring board to score things for my junk journals. I wish I had that scoring mat & the light box. Great shopping at Goodwill! Thanks for sharing! Have fun cutting things! ♥️😉🫂🐾🦋✏️📓🪡🪡🧶🍄🍁🎃🧙♀️✨️
I do paper crafting. I would love to have found the big score board. That stick is a bone folder and you use it to score your paper in the groves of the board. I quilt as well. I would have bought it for the score board and cutting mat.
The plastic canvas you saw in the store … some use it as a base inside bags. It is east to cut. I have made a Christmas village with it for under my tree also.
Mahalo Nui Loa to the donor! You've made our friend Tracy very happy! Looking forward to you enjoying your new mat (best find of all times at a GW!!!) and light board. Enjoy your good fortune! For all the good you do for all of us "out here", you deserve the jackpot of karma that came your way! ❤🌴
I love thrifting and finding things like this. It’s exciting to see. You will get great use out the this. I just found a moda 1/4 meter bundle at my thrift store in 4 bags with other fabric for $15. It’s really the only way I can do this hobby is by also adding thrifted fabrics 😊
The crimper tool is for flattening the crimp tube on beaded jewelry. This works on jewelry made of strands of clear plastic to secure the end of the beads.
Very nice! You are lucky. My Goodwill puts all sewing/crafting supplies on the auction website in lots. I rarely bid because 2/3 of those lots are typically items I don't want.
That was a real sewing machine that takes batteries. The plastic engagement around the needle keeps you little kids fingers from being pierced. My daughter had one and now I need to see if we kept it!
Hi Tracy! Nice finds! I live in a small town which has a small GW. I need to find a light for my fancy lightbox and i keep forgetting to look. Nice mat! Enjoy and blessings to you dear!
Great score! I paid $40 for my light box like that, years ago at ACMoore. It’s not essential for every day, but when you need to trace patterns for appliqué, templates or drawing, it’s a great product and you’ll be glad you have it.
I have that same light box (have had for years!), except mine has a gray box. Love it, it’s a great size for tracing larger patterns or lots at once. I use painters tape to hold my tracing paper in place. nice find!

Same!
I have a dressmaker. I made my daughters clothes when she was little 40 years ago. Your goodwill. Is much better than mine.
You won the lottery with the ofra mat! Good for you
You scored! I'm excited if I get some beads or thimbles at my thrift store. 🤣🤓 Merry Christmas 🎄 😆😆😆
Good for you Tracy, you deserve it. Enjoy your great find.
I use my light tracing box for Foundation Paper Piecing! Rather than guessing if you’re tracing it right, just do it over the light box! Helps for other types of tracings, too.
you could use old thread for basting...that way you use it up and you aren't wasting your good thread...just an idea
I am a card maker and use my score board every time I make cards. Your grands may enjoy making paper fans and butterflies for their mommy. I use my light box frequently for applique and card making, too.
Great idea!!!
I have a light box and a score board. I use to make folio with it.
When you were unwrapping the cutting mat and I saw the circle on it I knew you hit the jackpot! What an awesome find!
Oooh, I love that Martha Stewart scoreboard. Yes. Don't throw it out!
that was a great SCORE ......LOL......no way would I give that back.....
Your such a nice person , am so happy for you I remember dressmaker sewing machines, their an older brand ,and when well maintained their real workhorses.
I loved your Goodwill videos. The one by me hangs their fabric with the sheets, blankets, etc. I just got over 6 yards of navy blue with little white stars in tiny circles, For 3.99. What a find.
I had a dressmaker for over 30 years. It was a real gem. I sewed all my three daughters clothes and even prom and bridal gowns on it.
Tracy, I have one I bought back in 1972, sews wonderfully. Heavy as ever but a great old machine. I still have it and sew with it.
Score! I think the light box will come in handy. Happy quilting
WINNER !!!! DING! DING! DING! 🤩
The light box is useful to quilters for tracing applique. The rotating mat is a big win.
How fun and crazy was this!!! And watching your face as you realized what you had was awesome! Love your thrifting videos, I’ve seen them all, some more than once, you’ve inspired me to try my Goodwill for quilting supplies and quilt backings.
What a great find. The lightbox is so handy for tracing patterns, tracing pictures and seeing through fabric. Mine is a light tracer II but newer and grey.
Great finds! Keep light box. They are handy. Awesome on spin mat!!
Keep the light box! I have one. Like the slanted top & plastic top has a slight static charge that helps hold paper patterns to it!
Great find and fun to watch as you opened and realized all that you had and your excitement! Thank you for sharing I call that a happy dance find. Enjoy.
I have that rotating mat and use it at retreats. It’s flat and travels better than my Martelli round one. You’re going to love it for squaring up blocks!
What a blast, thanks for taking us along.

How fun..so much great and irrelevant stuff…by the by..your arms are lovely..🇨🇦
I’m jealous!! My Goodwill doesn’t see any craft supplies, and you hit the jackpot!!! Congratulations!!! 🥰
I wonder if they just toss them figuring they won't sell.
Yes! I make cards and use stamps and my scoreboard all the time! Love your channel!
I have one and love mine. I use it all the time. The rotating mat was a great find. I have a 12.5 inch and it was over 80.00 new.
Got to love a good thrifting win. Well done for being in the right place at the right time.
Oh my, you are one lucky lady. Great finds. Have fun using them.
That is my go to lightbox. I have some other ones but I like that one the best.
I love you! I feel like I just went shopping with you!
I knew the price because I've been looking at them. You scored big time.
That was fun! I have the exact weaving loom you were looking at in the brown box. My grandma gave it to me when I was very young and enjoyed weaving yarn. Brings back memories of her.
What a sweet memory Sue!!!
Love it you won the JACK POT. Happy quilting
Ho my goodness! You have made a real good deal! Yes! Great! ❤❤❤
How exciting! Enjoy your jackpot of goodies.
You hit the thrifting jackpot! Congratulations!
I have a light box. I use it to trace pictures onto fabric, which I then paint. I've done it for years. Last used to paint my granddaughters name onto a quilt block.
I learned to sew on a Dressmaker sewing machine when I was a young girl. It's a good machine. I have the same light box too and it's great.

SO jealous of the turntable mat!!! You GO!!!
I have a Dress Maker machine. I love it. I bought it in 1982. Still going.strong.
Wow, you really lucked out !!! Congratulations !!!
I used to make those bed dolls for my daughter in the late 80’s.
That's a good buy. I own that light box. I love it for paper piecing. The olfa products are the 💣.
Do the happy dance!!! You hit the Jackbot!!!
I'm jealous, lol😂
Love it! You scored Tracy!
The crimper tool is for flattening the crimp tube on beaded jewelry. This works on jewelry made of strands of clear plastic to secure the end of the beads.
What a score. Amazing!!!
Jackpot on the mat!!!
Wow what a haul! Wish my local goodwill had sewing supplies. You go girl!
Amazing mat! I love mine. Would have loved the light tracer. You SCORED!!!
Very nice! You are lucky. My Goodwill puts all sewing/crafting supplies on the auction website in lots. I rarely bid because 2/3 of those lots are typically items I don't want.
You got a deal! I mean a great deal!
Wow! Your Goodwill is fantastic!
It has its ups and downs:)
That was a real sewing machine that takes batteries. The plastic engagement around the needle keeps you little kids fingers from being pierced. My daughter had one and now I need to see if we kept it!
Oh yaaaa, you scored!! ❤
Score!!! Good job!!!
You scored big time!
Traci!!! I'm so jealous! Nice find! And I think you could use the light box for drawing templates to cut fabric or for quilting lines.
Hi Tracy! Nice finds! I live in a small town which has a small GW.
I need to find a light for my fancy lightbox and i keep forgetting to look.
Nice mat! Enjoy and blessings to you dear!
You have an awesome Goodwill girl! Way to score big time!
Some days are good and some not so good.....my GW has ups and downs as far as product🤷🏻♀️
Bingo! Love your excitement. I love my light box for foundation paper piecing. Enjoy!
You certainly did hit the jackpot girl. I’m happy for you.
What an incredible find, congratulations!
Yes stamping is still huge! I make cards and have hundreds of stamps!
ConGrats on your Goodwill shopping finds!
Great score! I paid $40 for my light box like that, years ago at ACMoore. It’s not essential for every day, but when you need to trace patterns for appliqué, templates or drawing, it’s a great product and you’ll be glad you have it.
Oh I loved your Goodwill videos! ❤
Oh wow you really scored. And the light box you use for applique.
You definitely scored!! Congratulations!
Great buy!
Good job!
Win, win great finds - love your Thrifting vids
I have that same light box (have had for years!), except mine has a gray box. Love it, it’s a great size for tracing larger patterns or lots at once. I use painters tape to hold my tracing paper in place. nice find!
Thank you for the tape tip✅
