I've often thought how aghast our ancestors would be that we purchase brand new fabric, cut it up and sew it back together to make quilts. And now the price we are paying for that fabric!! Remember what pretty quilts those ladies made with only what they had from scraps and salvaged from clothes that were no longer usable. Nothing was thrown out. How spoiled we have become--and that's not just with fabrics. Many usable items are taking up space in our landfills. "People are praying for the very things we take for granted."
