Anita Heady provided some interesting
suggestions to help us "Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle, Repair, Maintain
and Preserve". Here are just a few of her suggestions:
- Get free patterns over the Internet or draw your own.
- Purchase inexpensieve cotton clothing from thrift stores for quilts.
Even non-cotton fabrics can be used if appropriately backed.
.
- Fix color problems with dyeing.
- Reuse those scraps. Small fabric "crumbs" can be built into
larger quilts.
- Repurpose a pastel quilt as a rabbit.
- Use filtered water for irons and remember to turn them off when
not in use.
- Sharpen needles and cutting blades rather than replacing them.
