Quilt thrifting is a method of reusing materials to make a new quilt. We reuse old fabrics and remake them into new items. We recycle those that still have a useful life into new items that we can use and then pass on to future generations. The purposes of this book on quilt thrifting are three fold: • To promote recycling among quilters • To make quilting more affordable for the cost conscious quilter • To promote creativity in the up-cycling of fabrics

I grew up buried under homemade quilts in winter. Each one was a collection of cotton house dresses, cut to pieces after being worn for many years. When I started quilting, I fell down the rabbit hole of quilt store runs and collecting fabrics just like most. Now, with a return of lifestyle to reuse and make do, I'm revisiting my quilt making process. Nothing goes to waste, not a scrap. I too shop thrift stores for fabric, especially for king size 100% cotton flannel sheets for backs. I see my vintage quilts as true art. Thanks to the author of this book, for her research and dedication to environmental protection in the area of quilting.

I've paid $5 for a wedding dress, or bought a brown grocery bag packed full of men's shirts, jeans, and women's blouses for $6. Doing that has given me wonderful trim, buttons and fabric to play with. But I no longer buy used clothing, fabric or linens. I re-use my own things and no one else's for the following reasons:I have worked in and volunteered at thrift shops and what is donated is sometimes disgusting. No thrift shop can afford to launder clothing before it is put out for sale. People donate dirty underwear, clothing that is muddy, grass stained or been in storage for so long that it's buggy. It arrives smelling like smoke, covered in dog or cat hair and sometimes smelling like pee. One thrift shop uses a roll of masking tape to remove the hair and airs out items before putting it on the sales floor. Yuck!There is a rodent problem at one store, and the rats and mice chew through the boxes and bags to nest. So, wonderful clothing is contaminated because donations pile up and can't be sorted in a timely fashion. Months go by before the pile is reduced. New bags get tossed on top of the old, and sorters take from the top. See the problem?Now we're hearing about super lice that are resistant to time honored remedies. Everything a lice infected person touches has to be laundered in hot water. Bedbugs, flea eggs, other nasty stuff......not worth dealing with to save a few bucks on fabric.Well known fabric and craft stores have sales and coupons regularly. End of season sales offer treasures at a greatly reduced price. I buy new exclusively now and still wash everything the minute I get home because you never know who bought it and then returned it, used the bathroom and didn't wash their hands and then tried it on or tried on the jeans without undies (going commando ). Also, chemicals like formaldehyde used in the production of clothing and fabric need to be removed by laundering before use. There are news articles about this. One doctor stated that he washes new clothes twice with a double rinse. He said it is not a good idea to wear new clothing right out of the package. Here's the link to the article.http://www.wsj.com/articles/do-you-need-to-wash-new-clothes-before-wearing-them-1431955513

Good for cheapskates like me By Lauren C In all fairness, I should start off with the disclaimer that the author is one of my cousins and I do believe I got my crafting tendencies from that side of the family. I purchased the book when it was offered for free soon after publication. At 62 pages, I was able to read this book in two sittings. The title is a bit misleading, because the book is really more about where to find fabric to recycle and ideas for what to do with that fabric. It mentions quilting, but most of the projects mentioned use other methods. This book is not about crafting techniques; it is about finding and using fabrics found in thrift stores or reused from your own stash. I'm all about reusing and recycling (and being a cheapskate) and learned some new things from reading this book. For instance, it discusses lap blankets for Alzheimer's patients, and I have been wanting to make something like this for a while and wasn't sure how to go about it - now I have a plan! One drawback of this Kindle book is that I read it on my phone, which did not do the photos justice.
