And chances are you would make it better and with a few more embelishments.

You know you are hooked when you have made at least 20 purses and most of the time I don't even carry one!

Just wait, you will soon find yourself walking through buildings, looking at the floor tiles and saying the same thing! It's an addiction, but at least it's not fattening. :lol:

I just made a comfort quilt from my son's shirts (he died of melanoma in January) and it turned out so good that now I want to make quilts out of everything in my (and my husband's!) closet! Bought Bonnie Hunter's "Scraps and Shirttails" book and it is full of GREAT ideas for using thrift-shop clothes instead of expensive $10/yard fabric!

I've started my new shirts. All the pieces are cut and prepared and all that's left is assembly. I've only been quilting 8 1/2 years...even a year ago I didn't think I could ever do this.
