I was just reading an article today on the rising cost of cotton and how it is just starting to reach our quilt shops. They may be sorry they threw those precious scraps away! I can't wait to see your commission piece as it progresses. What a treasure! Love the milk carton template! Maybe there is a way to save that too....in a pocket on the back of the quilt?Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00220665809987670918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634894880688964861.post-6512206338077957282011-01-28T18:10:56.241-06:002011-01-28T18:10:56.241-06:00I loved reading your post because I too made a qui...I loved reading your post because I too made a quilt with my grandmother's stash! She had a started a quilt in the 70's??? She had started by cutting out the diamonds and did a few squares. I finished it the year before she died. I gave it to her and she had it on her bed and now I have it. What great memories... <br /><br />Michellemlafayettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196800723163547948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634894880688964861.post-74332369991845967312011-01-28T12:23:41.776-06:002011-01-28T12:23:41.776-06:00I can just imagine that you are going to create so...I can just imagine that you are going to create something amazing with all this color!! <br />And I agree you should contact the TV program....I am always emailing companies when I dont like something they have done...and most of them at least respond!Flo @ Butterfly Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17526024695998355238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634894880688964861.post-29737698648335245802011-01-28T11:54:11.038-06:002011-01-28T11:54:11.038-06:00After reading your reaction to the TV quilters tos...After reading your reaction to the TV quilters tossing out treasures, I had to laugh.

She gave me bags and bags. Poof- instant stash! I used a lot, but just this weekend I bagged up what I'm haven't yet used and left it on the doorstep of another would-be sewist who had made a similar request. : ) When I garage sale my stuff at guild, I am careful to only sell of things I have purchased for myself.monika@mysweetprairie.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655544650615742749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634894880688964861.post-31927525848533070562011-01-28T11:10:15.022-06:002011-01-28T11:10:15.022-06:00and as an aside - one of my favorite things to fin...and as an aside - one of my favorite things to find at a garage sale is a bag of fabric bits or boxes (usually old chocolate or cookie tins!) of sewing bits and bobs. i always feel a bit like i'm 'rescuing' them...saving them from oblivion...i hope someone rescues my bits and bobs when the time comes!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07218603902515184727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634894880688964861.post-37145329227732937212011-01-28T11:07:26.456-06:002011-01-28T11:07:26.456-06:00you are so very right about waste - there is so mu...you are so very right about waste - there is so much of it that goes on. (my husband would say 'but you could at least throw SOMETHING out...) those of us who were brought up by people who lived through the depression still have a tendency to hang onto things because 'they could be useful someday'. of course, this is a good thing if we are quilters or crafters!<br />cheers!<br />mollyMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07218603902515184727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634894880688964861.post-24187497967548634832011-01-28T10:41:15.162-06:002011-01-28T10:41:15.162-06:00I'm super excited :) Can't wait to see wh...I'm super excited :) Can't wait to see what you do with everything!
