Lord, the clulessness of many DH's. LOL. I still smile when I think about the time I left a big stack of Moda fat quarters on the kitchen counter and DH asked me if I was going to use all those rags as he could use some in his shop.

Ronna, what a good idea "re-purposing" the kids clothes! I'll have to remember that.

In the same theme... I visit a thrift store in Caruthersville, MO on a regular basis that offers large garbage bags of clothes for only $1. You can pick from several bins (about 8 large Rubbermaid type bins on my last visit) to fill up the garbage bag. But, this is anything but garbage! I'm digging and finding all kinds of beautiful fabrics (in the form of clothes and sometimes pieces of sheeting or curtain) that can be repurposed in my quilting endeavors. Stuffed full to take home and add to my stash. Love a great bargain!
