Another wonderful KZitem quilting channel is TheCatbird Quilts, and she uses thrifted fabric-specifically shirts. She had a quilt at Quilt Con this year. Wonderful videos not only on shopping at thrift stores, but how to deconstruct a shirt and then using them in projects. So many ideas, so little time.

I have cut up several men’s shirt. The fabric feels wonderful. I get about a fat quarter on a men’s XL long sleeve. Many times it is Egyptian cotton for high end shirts. I get them at my local thrift store on the $1 rack. Since I live in the south, many shirts end up here😁. Better prices than goodwill. I have not made a quilt yet. I have enough for 2 or 3 colorful quilts. I have most colors of the rainbow. On lavender and pink I have those just not in high quantities. Lots of blue, yellow, stripes, some checks, not as many white as I would like. It is fun to go looking. I don’t do flannels in shirts or cotton quilts.

Congrats to Mandy on winning the Quilted Cow box! My mother-in-law uses worn-out blankets as quilt batting. (EEEEE! The mail guy just delivered my Creekside box! Will open it after I finish lunch & this video.) Kinda like giving them a slipcover, LOL! I like the fabrics you picked for the Sewers Club bag. Lots of pretty colors in there. I'm a tote bag lover, can never have too many. I agree about putting tabs on both ends of the zipper on the coin purse, though. It looks a bit odd with it only on one side. (Side note, our library doesn't charge late fees at all, woo hoo!) *LOVE* the Destashify fabrics. The colors are so bold & bright, and go so well together. The others are not my style pattern-wise although I do like a lot of the colors, and the fact that you got some canvas in there as well. Always good for totes or project bags. It's always a great feeling when you get a good thrift store haul, and you really found some bargains 🙂 Now, I'm off to wash the chicken off my hands & open the Creekside box. With luck the fabric in it will go with the peach from last month, LOL.

I think what is the "canvas" fabric is called duck cloth. Duck cloth, also known as cotton duck or duck canvas, is a heavy, plain woven cotton fabric. It is categorized based on weight, with grade twelve being the lightest of all varieties and grade one being the heaviest. The name "duck" actually comes from the word "doek." Doek was Dutch sailors' canvas cloth for their outerwear and pants in the Navy. Unlike canvas, duck cloth is just a plain, tightly laced fabric consisting of two thick yarns wrapped together, resulting in a dense weave. This thick weave is tight enough to resist water and wind penetration. Also, because of its tightly tied threads, duck cloth is incredibly durable and resistant to damage.

In many states you can no longer get plastic bags for your shopping so I make many bags for my family in NY. Maine and Virginia. They like ones they can easily fold and put in their purse or even a pocket.

Hi Holly, you look radiant and it's lovely to see you from a different part of your sewing room. I love the fabric you picked for the tote bag. I can't get past the sunglasses fabric. The stack of fabric you got with all the bunnies, etc., so adorable ! The soft green and peach colors are growing on me. I am also working on a baby quilt for a co-workers daughter, but using blues & pinks. I need to get past the "traditional" boy & girl colors. Dandelion is doing what I want to do, lay on the grass. However as I look out the window from my sewing room, the ground is covered with about a foot of snow. See you soon.
