    Your problem was solved by recycling.
    You celebrated Earth Day in a great way.
    Great thinking.

    Quilters are so great at recycling. The more we save means the more $$$ we have for fabric. :D

    Good save! I had a mop head that went bad. Couldn't find a replacement and thought about throwing the long handle away - but wait!! It became a hanging rod for things in my sewing area... Not too fancy, but functional.

    If it's not fancy enough ... a spray can of paint can do wonders!

    I have used the footboard or headboard of a bed and put brackets on it to hold a rod for display of a quilt. Had a wall big enough for it.
