Yes, I knew there was a great deal of fabric in the dust ruffles, but didn't know how much. I always check to see if it is 100% cotton and I have taken many apart to get the good fabric. I have some blue and white that is to die for and it came from a dust ruffle. There are some beautiful fabrics in dust ruffles.

I made quilts for my 3 GD's they were all from different wildly colorful prints from my stash. The fabrics they chose were from 1971 1989 and 1999. They all had the same shade of pastel pink in common- With scraps in hand I hit 6 stores -no one had that pink. So to make me feel better I thought I would stop at a couple of my favorite ''junk'' stores. I found a full size bed skirt with THAT pink for 50 cents-I still have yards left over after finishing the bindings And my SGD's got the binding color they all chose. They all have the 'eye' for color schemes. and can't wait to start making their own quilts.And my DIL wants to start learning how to make cloths for her and the girls. Who knew a 50 cent score could be so full of blessings : )

I bought a cheap twin size mattress cover to use on my big board DH made me last weekend. I 1st covered in in 2 layers of inexpensive batting from Wally world them the mattress cover and finally some muslin. It's wonderful. While DH was stapling all the layers underneath it I was running my hands all over the top, around & around the big board. I'm so proud of him for making it. Usually he can't put a nail in a piece of wood lol but this project turned out perfect!
