Quilt thrifting is a method of reusing materials to make a new quilt. We reuse old fabrics and remake them into new items. We recycle those that still have a useful life into new items that we can use and then pass on to future generations.
The purposes of this book on quilt thrifting are three fold
•To promote recycling among quilters
•To make quilting more affordable for the cost conscious quilter
•To promote creativity in the up-cycling of fabrics

In all fairness, I should start off with the disclaimer that the author is one of my cousins and I do believe I got my crafting tendencies from that side of the family. I purchased the book when it was offered for free soon after publication. At 62 pages, I was able to read this book in two sittings. The title is a bit misleading, because the book is really more about where to find fabric to recycle and ideas for what to do with that fabric. It mentions quilting, but most of the projects mentioned use other methods. This book is not about crafting techniques; it is about finding and using fabrics found in thrift stores or reused from your own stash. I'm all about reusing and recycling (and being a cheapskate) and learned some new things from reading this book. For instance, it discusses lap blankets for Alzheimer's patients, and I have been wanting to make something like this for a while and wasn't sure how to go about it - now I have a plan! One drawback of this Kindle book is that I read it on my phone, which did not do the photos justice.

Some interesting information, but nothing worth paying for. Glad I got it for free!
I really enjoyed this book and it really inspired me to do more, this book shows how to do things without having to spend much and includes many great ideas, a great way to reuse precious family pieces and great tips for novices, I for sure will be using it as a reference in the future.
Common knowledge to most quilter's. Helpful for beginners who don't have big bucks for materials.
I don't know what happened to the original review I wrote.

I really enjoyed this book and knowing the author from our quilting group in the senior housing area w e live in made it even more special. Debi is definitely a great quilter and is a second generation quilter in at least I believe a 4-generation of quilters family. She is a definite asset to our group here. And this book gives all of us hints on saving money which we all like to do.

Thanks Debi.
What a wonderful book to add to my library of quilting books. This book inspires the thrill of quilting without the pain to my wallet. Purchased fabrics can be so costly. They eat away a craft budget quickly. Debra's ingenious ideas make those few dollars go so much further without looking less than "quilt store quality". They are great. So many things and ideas are covered in this down to earth book. It's not the least bit dry or uninteresting. You'll have yourself saying wow, I can do that; and gee why didn't I think of that. I just love it. Thanks for writing such and interesting book, Trica
Some of my sewing projects as a teen involved figuring out how to piece together scraps so I'd have enough fabric to finish a gored skirt or line a purse. And I've always thought the purpose of quilting is to make something useful and pretty out of something you'd otherwise throw away. So most of the ideas in this book are not new to me. She is in Texas and some of her ideas on how to source items of clothing to re-purpose are local to that area-interesting to read about, but not available where I live. And the Goodwill stores close to me do mark down used clothing each week until it is a $1 a piece on Sundays, unlike the ones near her. But if you are only used to having the first step of the project be (1) Go fabric shopping, you NEED to read this this book or one like it.
Frugal quilting is a misnomer. We tend to want the latest jelly roll or bundle of fat quarters. I grew up buried under homemade quilts in winter. Each one was a collection of cotton house dresses, cut to pieces after being worn for many years. When I started quilting, I fell down the rabbit hole of quilt store runs and collecting fabrics just like most. Now, with a return of lifestyle to reuse and make do, I'm revisiting my quilt making process. Nothing goes to waste, not a scrap. I too shop thrift stores for fabric, especially for king size 100% cotton flannel sheets for backs. I see my vintage quilts as true art. Thanks to the author of this book, for her research and dedication to environmental protection in the area of quilting.
