We bought our house in '89 and I knew it needed a quilt. So I signed up for a sampler class. The lady at the store reminded me to bring my scraps. I didn't even know what she was talking about. Hadn't read the part that it was a scrap sampler class. About $150 later I had a nice little stash going plus all the supplies, and the rest is history. I guess I need to tell you that the sampler never got finished. It is rather pelty coz the kitties loved it so and I can't bring myself to work on it.
