Another person's trash, is someone's treasure. My first attempts at spinning wool were awlful, knubby, snarly, uneven - i put them in a box and put them for $1 at my yard sale before I moved, another spinner/knitter snatched them up and knitted the most beautiful art scarf that I have ever seen.

Sisters are the best! I have made lots of quilts and I am sure the one that will survive is the awful double knit monstrosity that I made over 40 years ago. It is showing no signs of wear when we take it to the cottage each summer.

What a lovely story, its such a shame when people do not appreciate what they are given. I mad my grand daughter a quilt for her 18th birthday. I was visiting the house the other day, the quilt was ripped and chewed up in the dog basket!! Guess who will never get another of my precious quilts.
