    Default Why did I buy this book?

    Someone here must have showed something and used this book as reference, but for the life of me, and of course I did not bookmark, I can't remember who/what!!!!!!

    Here's the book title:

    Fresh from the clothesline. Author: Darlene Zimmerman

    ...there are some cool things in this book!

    Does she use 30's fabrics in most of her quilts?

    Sorry I can't help you. Just had to tell you, and pleases don't be offended, but I laughed myself silly reading your post. I have done this more than once over the years and am really glad I'm not the only one out there. Good luck finding your information. Sometimes I do, sometime I don't, but I'm building an awesome quilting library.

    I'm with Gramie B - - I laughed when I saw this post. Of course, for me............I'd be asking that because I'd get it home and discover that I already have it!! Good luck finding your answer!

    I've done that, as well. Mostly happens with fabric, though.

    I was recently looking for a quilt book I had for a friend to borrow. I found four books that were duplicates and I don't remember buying the first ones or why. I really need to reign myself in when it comes to quilt stuff shopping. But is sure is fun.

    I just finished cleaning and organizing my sewing room and sadly found more than one duplicate of a few items! And I've done just what you have. I know there is some reason I bought the book or magazine but later I don't always remember what the reason was. Hopefully it will come to you.

    I'm with laughing quilter. I can't say how many times I've gone home with a book or magazine, just to discover that I already have it.
