eBay & quilting

Having nothing better to do as my SM is in the shop, I took to browsing eBay quilting section. It's amazing to see what's out there and at what price. I would have never thought of selling my old magazines. Honestly, some of the stuff I would have thrown into the garbage. Hum... maybe I need to do an inventory of my garbage! lol



I saw a Wall size quilt that was "laser appliquéd". Does anyone know what that is? I'm thinking that maybe it's using a laser gun to bond the heat & bond to the fabric. LOL



Thanks

Hum.... Target practice!! It gives a whole new meaning to "pratice makes perfect". Perhaps it would have been a distraction for Spock during Mok time (sp?). That would have kept his mind off things. lol

It's the most interesting of window shopping. I've seen some nice stuff that made me want to buy it, and some absolutely horrible stuff that made me shudder.

I found the world's ugliest crazy quilt top there once. Many of the pieces were obviously left overs from making '60s and '70s clothing, mis-cut collars, facings, and large pieces of cloth that had sleeve shaped cut-outs in them. The fabric criteria seemed to be; colors that make the eyes bleed, high texture polyester knits, and whenever possible put clashing colors side by side. The description was, "Beautiful vintage fabric quilt top. You have to see it to believe it!" Debra in VA See my quilts at
