An old lady friend, loves to sort them out, she unpicks what can be to recuperate the fabrics, and she also cuts 2.5 and 4 inch squares out of them. Then she stores the whole in different widths "strings boxes", and "squares boxes", at disposal for the beginners, or any other quilter in the bee. Fabrics are sooo expensive, here : between 20 and 25$ per yard !!! (sometimes even more !) so, this can be discouraging in the beginning, when you're learning...<br><br>Hugs and smiles,<br>NADINE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5109774646057111207.post-82432493637454520062006-11-13T13:04:00.000-08:002006-11-13T13:04:00.000-08:00I think you have just the right attitude about the...I think you have just the right attitude about the class samples!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5109774646057111207.post-56215143306942169412006-11-13T13:10:00.000-08:002006-11-13T13:10:00.000-08:00You are absotively right- I have finally made the ...You are absotively right- I have finally made the decision to abandon a couple of mine and have decided where they are going.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5109774646057111207.post-54362453135686233312006-11-13T22:17:00.000-08:002006-11-13T22:17:00.000-08:00I usually 'abandon' my unwanted tops to ladies who...I usually 'abandon' my unwanted tops to ladies who do charity quilting. Nothing wrong with not wanting projects or tops any more. I go through my projects and tops regularly and toss out from time to time - it does feel good to do that :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
