Hello, Just wanted to introduce myself to all of the members here at GardenStew. I am 41yrs old, my hubby and I have been together for almost 12 yrs. I have 3 step-children and 1 step-granddaughter. Some of my many hobbies are gardening, sewing, crafting and photography. I also enjoy yard sales, flea markets and any kind of good Freebie... Currently I am working on a quilt top made completely out of clothing labels. So if any of you have some to spare, let me know. This project may take forever to finish, but will definitely be a one of a kind quilt.. Hope to get to know alot of you, and learn and share tons of ideas and info....Crafty Bee
Welcome Craftybee, I love the sound of your quilt top, you must be very patient! I remove all my clothing labels, so I'll start a collection for you! In Australia we call yard sales and flea markets, garage sales and swap meets, but they're one and the same and I love them too. I have picked up all manner of weird and wonderful items over the years. I spent months hunting down crockery, vases and ornaments featuring roses to make a mosaic a couple of years ago, it was a most fulfilling project once it was finally completed. Enjoy GardenStew! It's got my thumbs up! Ophelia
