DS1 and his girlfriend were here at the house tonight. I was good timing because I needed her moms contact information. She has a long arm in her home, and quilts for people. A friend of mine had asked for the information.
As I was getting the info from her Ds1 mentioned he wanted a quilt. He says he stopped using his because it was falling apart. He just has it folded in his room. I told him I would think about it. The top I can afford, it is the quilting that kills.
I really would like to replace it for him. This is the second time he has mentioned it. I will have to think on this some.
About 16 years ago there was a local business in town that made sleeping bags, shirts and skirts I think. They used a machine to cut out. They didn't mind if you dumpster dived and took their remnants. I only went once, but I got two garbage bags worth. That year I made quillows for my three kids. My DD's was red. There was a solid red, and a white with red flowers. DS1 got now that was hunter green and burgundy. Green was his favorite color at the time. My youngest got a light chambray blue. His I had to go and buy coordinating fabric for. It was a light blue with red, yellow and orange lines bending like pipes all over it.
Last time I saw my daughters a couple of years ago it was still in one piece. Both of the boys loved theirs well. They have literally fallen apart. I think it was the cheap thread I used.
