it appears that some of you ladies are keeping the material companies in business. as Martha Stewart would say "That's a good thing". I thought I had lots of material but some of you put mine to shame. I have picked most of mine up at garage sales or been given some clothes that I cut up and used the yardage. Just this week, My sister gave me about 5 hawaiian shirts that her late husband wore. beautiful material so I am making her a memory quilt from them. There will be lots left to add to my stash. I make lots of scrap quilts. I guess if the material companies depended on me to keep them going they would be in trouble, so thanks to you gals that buy new material.
