thanks vonn.
i'm real into repurposing fabrics too. like with the jeans quilt, i have made jean bears. or use bits and pieces from clothes. which my husband got a huge sack froma client filled with awesome clothes for me to cut up. they were her mothers and much too out of date for even goodwill.
i agree vonn, using those words devalue items. from talking to my own pt clients, they love the idea of hand crafted and reporposed. makes those bears green.
i am a back rack clearance bin diver! remnants are great for making the bears.
