And your quilts are beautiful!! |
Wow, totally inspirational. I especially like the 2nd one. Just finished a scrappy a while back, need to post it. Funny, I thought I used up so many scraps, but, heavens, like you, they are still around...waiting to be made up into something else:) Thanks so much for sharing...bet several of us are going to "adopt" your methods:)

You put your heart and soul into those quilts, scrappy are my favorite, takes time but it is well worth it.
|
Thanks for the inspiration. I started cleaning my sewing room yesterday and can't bear the throw away my scraps. Now maybe I can make something from them.
Great job! |
Wonderful steps in the scrap-wars! The second one looks like books on the shelves ... I love it!
|
Very pretty.

That's a lot of sewing!!! :!: Really, your quilts are beautiful, colorful, and hug-able! Congrats on using your scraps wisely! :thumbup:
