I make dog beds with the scraps I just use a old pillowcase or make a pillowcase with drapery fabric.

I used one of my practise FMQ pieces as a cover on a heating pad that is just too hot on the lowest setting. I just stitched another piece on three side so it is like a small pillow case. I used a piece of an old heavy woolen skirt to make a pad for under my sewing machine. It is much quieter with the pad. One or two layers of batting would work as well. If you don't want to deal with them what about putting out an advertisement -I think you would find that someone would be happy to have them. It seems a shame to put them in the landfill.

I have an empty "pillow" in my sewing room into which I put all scraps of batt that cannot be sewn together to make a larger batt. When the pillow is quite full, I sew the top shut and sell it at my garage sale. They have always sold. |
I donate scraps and left overs to a SR center in another county. It's a place where money is in short supply, but enthusiasm for quilting is not. Generally, I am not a scrap quilter, so that works well for all involved.

Great idea.

That would make a great pet bed, too.

I'm a hoarder.... Someday I hope to have time to play with my scraps and all of the ideas in my head. Right now, there's barely time to sleep.
You all have some great ideas! |
