We were chatting about recycling the new light bulbs. Made me think about recycling in general and so here's a thread.

I call it 'Repurposing' which means to find another use for. Still, anything regarding recycling, sharing things or reusing them in another way is welcome.

I had a neighbor who saved her worn out blankets. She then would go and find sheets at GoodWill or some place like that and make a quilt from the blankets.

She would sew two sheets together on three sides and put the blanket in side (I think she probably basted the blanket to one sheet first and then sewed the other sheet to the first and turned them inside out).

She would sew of the fourth side and then use yarn to tie the 'quilt' together in several spots.

They were nice and warm and she'd take them to the cottage or give them to the kids to take to their college dorms.

So..ideas please
