Dont be afraid of using polyester!!

Here are some pics of 100% polyester quilts Ive made...




All of those quilts are 100% polyester from the 70's - I bought out a grandmothers stash last summer at a yard sale. The fabrics have great color fast-ness and are easy to quilt with.

Please dont be afraid to quilt with any fabrics you have around your house or have access to.

It is Labor Day weekend! I love this holiday .... I'm having a sale on my Etsy to celebrate the cooler weather coming. George and I are making quilts and going to New Orleans parades this weekend.

I did take this selfie today, too. Quilt stuff? I'm making a star quilt for my bed. It will be partially scraps and partially other fabrics that were gifted to me or bought. I think I'm going to make an effort to make it clash as much as possible! Hope you all will find some fun this weekend. It's for us. The workers.
