Oh you are in the best state for quartz! i would love to come out there and dig! I do have some decent pieces of quartz form ark.

I should figure out where that is. We have alot of bluffs and boulders around here, so many that it's distracting to look at as I drive down the road! heehee! I don't use a cell phone but I look at rocks and for deer instead!

When my DGD was about 7, loved rocks & emptyed her backpack and put in rocks she had found. I have 2 that she gave me b/c she said they were special. I still have them on the mantle. She is almost 20 now.

Christmas ornaments, especially Boyd's Bears. (Best thing about collecting Christmas ornaments is you never have to dust them.)

Definitely dog hair and dust bunnies. 30 years ago I told my then-to-be husband that if he wanted to live with Susie Homemaker he should keep looking. He'd tell you for certain I wasn't kidding. :-)

Ummmm, dust? :oops: In all seriousness, I think I collect books, magazines and patterns most besides fabric...

Ideas from other quilters! Other than that, books, patterns, and notions.

In this household I would say sewing machines. Have acquired my grandmothers, his mother's and aunt's, my mother's, 3 featherweights I have found at yard sales, my embroidery machine and one I use specifically for quilting. Oh, and forgot the 5 that I have picked up for the daughter and daughter's in law over the years. I am now in downsizing mode and will be letting some of them go to new households where they will be used and loved.
I prefer the old ones that you can service yourself. Ann in TN
