i am sure you did quite well! Its the thought that count! Like all the other replys are saying start collecting small things everywhere you go! that way you have a stash! I went to the Trinty Valley Quilt show last weekend and was able to pick up about 6 different items that were less than $1.50 each, then you can always throw in fat quarters, and things from the dollars store, emory boards and watch for candies to go on sale check your quilt stores clearance section for patterns and such. Target has items at the beginning of the store for a $1.00 to $2.00. small candles, make pincushions, what every is your specialty! You will be amazed at how things will start to pile up! Just look at the pics from the ones that show them and you will get it! And a great big thank you for all that takes pictures and shows them ! I know i love seeing them and I am sure everyone else does too!
