My real passion I guess is finding great fabrics in weird places. And I love my seam ripper, too, so I enjoy buying curtains or skirts or bed ruffles or tablecloths, or whatever and ripping them down to make something else out of . I'd guess probably half my fabric is reclaimed.
Recently bought a valance that when I had finished ripping apart was 45" wide and 4 yards long--------------pastel seersucker plaid, just perfect for a baby quilt back I'll be making in the next couple months.
