Quilting Idea

I have never quilted but always wanted to learn to.

When thinking about what to say to Ren in another post, and reading that people went through clothes this weekend, I got to wondering........

If you have favorite items that are destined for trash because they are torn, stained, or frayed....

Or you have those shirts or jammies that you absolutely refuse to part with, and you spend time pinning them to your already small body.....

Why not make them into fabric squares and then quilt them?  As we lose weight and get thinner, I hear it gets colder.....Each square or design on the quilt has a story to tell as we shudder underneath but as we read through the designs, we become warm with pride.....


Tia, I do not own this post because I do not have a sewing machine  LOL!

Well, for sure I can't own it cause I can't sew!!!  Okay, I CAN sew a button on in a pinch, but beyond that, nuh-uh!!!!!

I'm glad you're quickly learning the rules of the board!!  If you post it, you own it!!

Good idea...I've known people that do this with old baby clothes.  Most of my clothes are in excellent shape though.  Used to have a sewing machine but I gave it to my sister after not using it for years!

That is an awesome idea!  I have a sewing machine that Gino bought me for a Christmas present 9 years ago and I still haven't taken it out of the box!  I know that is sad.  lol 

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.
