Oh that sounds like fun!...Designing quilts and picking out fabrics are some of my favorite things to do. Maybe this could be my after-retirement job!

I'm retiring in August and could practice now....

it is always fun to shop for someone else. I love it because you can get your fabric fix without spending your money.
If anyone ever wants help picking fabrics. let me know. I love to shop and pick out fabric for people. When I am in a fabric store and I see someone himming and hawing over fabric looking like they are trying to decide. I just butt in and ask them if they are making something. that is usually an noninvasive way to butt in, well at least to me. I have "helped" about 10 different people. Well at least I hope that I have helped them. It is fun seeing what fabrics people like to put together. Sometimes they actually give me ideas for making quilts with different color combos. Now just to find the time and money to put them together. hehe.

Oh! Is that what I'm doing wrong?

OK! I have the following info given to me by another member and it sounds perfect for my needs:
She bought fabric from a seller on E-Bay and was quite pleased with it. Along with the fabric was a little card from the seller who says she also does "fabric cutting"! Probably you buy the fabric from her and she'll cut it for you. Great idea!

Here's her contact:

and on E-Bay she's: Craftymoom2003.

I haven't checked it out yet, but I will. If anyone else does, let us know!

I looked there, lylamarie, but didn't find a link for making kits. Thanks, though.
