I made a bunch of wind socks outa ties several years back, and got all mine at the local thrift stores. My late hubby was a diesel mechanic, so he had no ties at all,lol.

Diana---Thanks! I'd appreciate that! I need about 20-any color-but in good shape. I want to make a little lap quilt-been wanting to do that for some time.
I saw a ton at the local thrift as well. Check this out! http://sewingwithneckties.blogspot.com/ Some of these dresses are like "wow...amazing"!! Not to mention the ton-o resources and links. I was thinking of the craftbits necktie bag when I saw your post and went looking for it and found the blog instead... be sure to check out the link to the Easter Eggs. Dyeing Easter Eggs with silk ties! Oh so beautiful!
Ummmm...sorry Melody...now I'll have to save all my thriftstore ties for myself!....(but if I find them for 25 cents each I'll let you know) :-)
