Hi Holly, I live on the hill above Historic Old Downtown Palm Harbor. I can't believe there are so many of us so close together. Anyway, welcome aboard.

Since not all of us are able to buy 100 dollars worth of fabric, I'll tell you what I do. If I've out grown an article of clothing that the fabric is good not worn or stained I break it down, Remove the collar, sleeves, seams, and buttons. I do the same for clothing that is no longer in fashion. I've gone to goodwill and gotten XXX-large shirts for 50 cents and broke it down, Theres a lot of fabric there. I've also gotten new clothes at the bargin bin. Reduced several times. When I first was teaching myself to quilt, that the fabric I used.

Hi I am from Co. and also a late bloomer as far as sewing and quilting goes. (I was 58 when I started)> I got a lot of "stash" from ebay and got some wonderful fat quarters, kits and , do I say it, lots of fabric. LOL Now I am unindented with fabric, fat quarters, etc. LOL Enjoy your newest addiction and most of all, have fun. Jo
