You could always donate the money or use it for your own craft items that sure add up.<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br />FredaBFredaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000510495713705938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-68691705440902331282011-03-20T05:18:58.944-04:002011-03-20T05:18:58.944-04:00These quilts are somebody's hard and loved wor...These quilts are somebody's hard and loved work. If they were in reasonable condition perhaps the best bits could be cut out re-backed with fleecy fabric and sent to Sendai as well! The Hearts and Hands project is truely a wonderful idea! I have actually been searching for an old quilt which I could recycle and use in my journalling because I really love them if they are hand sewn.<br />Cushions, totes, table runners, runners for back and top of couches<br />as well as pillow cases are more ideas.<br />Perhhaps you could make one (or part of one) a giveaway!!!<br />Wonderful visiting those blogs you mentioned too! Thanks for that!tr<br />Hugs, Suzysuziqu's thread workshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01778561122767076015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-69565882987667212392011-03-18T22:37:24.448-04:002011-03-18T22:37:24.448-04:00Mary Anne,

Of course, you could also insert pieces into your denim jackets. Nothing should go to waste!!! If they're really old and cherished, especially those made by family members, find a place for them. Under the bed, in the rafters, in the trunk of your car, it doesn't matter. It's the memories that count!!Anne Marie - Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841030304464450073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-47962085764881340792011-03-18T11:50:25.811-04:002011-03-18T11:50:25.811-04:00One of your followers "DeeDee" had a gre...One of your followers "DeeDee" had a great post recently on using an old quilt to make an apron!

Longer strips make those cool designer pillows you see on couches along the back.<br />If pieces are small, sew then together into a bigger pillow piece, or save some of the small pieces for your denim jackets.'<br />Just don't be afraid to CUT!!!<br /><br />XXOO~~♥<br />AnneAnne Huskey-Lockardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01642632328404951486noreply@blogger.com
