How absolutely wonderful. I have a giant tub full of ties that I collected and have intended to make some tie quilts. You have given me another idea to use for the ties. Keep up the wonderful work.

Thanks you and all the rest.

You can make all kinds of thinks out of ties...I like to mix regular cottons with then, but silks, satins, batik would looks good.
I ended up with all the left over ties and used some of the Burgundy, green and gold ties and mixed with Christmas fabrics and made crazy stockings for my sisters. I ran across some of the foundation pieced stockings the other day in my UFOs and thought about finishing the embellishments and sew them up for Christmas this year.

I think the fabrics and patterns in ties are exciting to work with. Maybe that will be anotehr one of my projects this year.
