On more than one occasion I have come across items that are on sale for more than the original purchase price when they were brand new! I appreciate that the charities need to make as much money as they can but I do get annoyed by the over pricing. I still give all my unwanted items to charity but only buy my shirts when they are at sale prices. Many of the shirts are priced at upwards of six dollars even if the had deodorant marks under the arms!

I try to visit them all because they provide valuable support to disadvantaged folks in the community. I only became aware recently of how much behind the scenes support our local Goodwill provides to disadvantaged populations. Also, all of these charities do have sale days where things are offered at big discounts. <br />Fran Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03340375050501865233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-83759181247535772762014-08-28T22:17:33.645-04:002014-08-28T22:17:33.645-04:00Bonnie, just taking some non-quilting time - or ti...Bonnie, just taking some non-quilting time - or time out of the house - can work wonders. Glad you were able to just relax with a friend.<br /><br />I believe using scraps for quilts makes you think outside the box. You have to be more inventive, especially in what goes with what. That was so much part of the charm of the Depression Era quilts.<br /><br />Smiles, JulieinTNAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622397925157647174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-53753819599857699702014-08-28T21:34:25.498-04:002014-08-28T21:34:25.498-04:00I cut 2 1/2 inch strips on the Go Cutter today and...I cut 2 1/2 inch strips on the Go Cutter today and I sewed down a binding on a baby quilt.

One can buy men's shirts for $2 any day, but once a month they have a paper grocery bag sale, and you fill the bag for $7. That's when I bought my shirts. The average cost of each shirt was 35 cents. I have made one quilt from those shirts, but have more fabric left to do something else with them. I agree that Goodwill's prices are too high. We have one in our town as well.<br />JeanineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-54791583454670337902014-08-28T21:20:34.697-04:002014-08-28T21:20:34.697-04:00Toes are lookin'n good,girls.
