Just think of all the lovely quilts hanging in museums, made in the days when a pair of scissors, needles, fabric and thread were all it took to construct a quilt. And the patterns were traced on cardboard and shared with friends.
Maybe it took a little longer to finish a quilt in those days, but who said quilting is a race to the finish? The joy is in the creating and sharing!!!
I agree!
I agree with this too. Although I do go thrifting because there is a big circle I make on the way to the gym, so it really isn't out of my way. For all the many times I go, only sometimes do I luck into anything. Depends on what people are donating and who got there first.
