[quote=Gabrielle's Mimi]You know, as I read posts about quilters' "finds" I always think of the person who purchased and cut and pieced the fabric....probably deceased now. How sad that someone's dream ends up marked down to $1. I'd so hate it if my UFOs or stash ends up in a yard sale or at Goodwill for $1. Although I am not religious, I feel like all of us ought to say a silent prayer for all the lovely women who went before us, dreaming their quilting dreams. And how sweet is it that we find and complete those dreams for the ones who no longer can. Do her proud and finish her quilt for her.

i agree with you completely. I am thinking of making a lap quilt out of some of them and donating it to our local Alzheimer center. I donated a rag quilt last christmas eve to them and they were thrilled with it. This disease is such an awful one to deal with and unfortunately it has struck our family at least twice that are confirmed and my dear grandmother probably had it too but wasn't diagnosed.

No fabric, but a lot of plants at the VA Hospital where I am a patient (they were having a sale to benefit DAV). Today I did buy a brown grocery bag of fabric, large pieces - no scraps, for a $1.00. So guess I did OK. Now to get the plants in the ground. Plants make me as happy as fabric.
