My husband has a patchwork quilt that his grandmother made for him when he was in high school. He graduated in 1974!!!!! The front is still as good as it was when I met him, the backing, a sheet, not so good.
If he can still love that old thing, he can surely love this old thing (me)
I have a few pieces of double knit that I have been using to make covers for the dogs' beds. Now I can stop wondering what I'm going to do when it's gone - get more

I have not seen any of it lately, but do remember how it stitched up so well. The Stretch & Sew patterns were all the rage. I have seen a few quilts made from the scraps, and they were vibrant colors, holding up well washing after washing.

all kinds of odd fabrics are coming out now. knits are back maybe. Hillary wore a knit outfit in the news yesterday. She doesn't need to wear knit though! wish i were there to advise her, but then I'm not fond of her so that would be difficult to do. knits come out of the dryer just perfect!
