It went cheap cause everyone else was after her completed quilts.I haven't bought any new since last summer. But some of that new moda is so tempting!!lesthookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16693690972245313359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257335425935550178.post-48436706150639863982009-03-13T07:37:00.000-06:002009-03-13T07:37:00.000-06:00If fabric gets so expensive...!

Recently I "re-fashioned" a liz claiborne cotton skirt no longer in use. It now serves as an apron. The next day I tore into the crates of jeans stored away to become picnic quilts in their next life. If I ever run out of cuts of fabric, I will start in on my clothes! Or, the tablecloths, or the drapes just so long as I am creating. snip, snip!iappearjiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01622156161571570635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257335425935550178.post-15904245634240045352009-03-13T07:28:00.000-06:002009-03-13T07:28:00.000-06:00I remember the days when Hubby and I "waited" unti...I remember the days when Hubby and I "waited" until payday to be able to get that gallon of milk for the kids for the weekend.<BR/><BR/>And - I saved all the old, out-grown, sometimes worn-out, clothes to recycle into new garments.<BR/><BR/>What's funny - is NOW I LOVE doing that all over again...recycling the old into new. I literally have been saving and cutting up old Jeans (without any spandex in them) for several years. I have them cut up into two different size squares...just waiting til the day when they'll become quilts. It's AMAZing to see how many shades of denim there are.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11114082808141552751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257335425935550178.post-84905886564146411462009-03-10T18:43:00.000-06:002009-03-10T18:43:00.000-06:00I find it expensive to purchase fabrics around my ...I find it expensive to purchase fabrics around my parts too.

I had a big eye-opener when I went to the UK last year -- those poor girls really are dedicated to sewing and quilting -- it's awfully pricey there!Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.com
