I live in a large city and find the prices vary even between stores from the same organization, but those in more afluent neighborhoods also have some nice merchandise.
I have been collecting men's hawaian shirts to do a quilt. I have a big bag of them now and it is on my to do list this year. Have not decided on the pattern to use.
Thanks for this thread, I also may try to find a men's denim shirt to make an apron to wear when I am working in the garage/garden. I also like the idea for a removable pillow cover. People are so thrifty and have great ideas hear.
