Quilt9226...great finds! I also head straight for the linens section. If hubby is with me, he heads to the electronics/stuff. We make a good team. (we resell stuff on EBay) I turned 2 pillow shams into a bed runner and am about to make a bed runner and 2 shams from 4 very colorful napkins I picked up. I think it's an adventure, you never know what you'll find and then you get to challenge yourself to make something new from something old. So much more fun than plunking down a bunch of money for a designer line and making something that looks like the other thousands of quilts just like it...just sayin'
Oldest daughter and I are about to embark on dyeing a bunch of thrifted cones of crochet cotton for hand quilting. I big stitch and my favorite threads are 30 & 40 wt crochet cotton, but they are typically only white and ecru...
