As for scraps breeding in the dark, that is true. But where did my scrappy whites that I set aside for the quilt I am working on disappear? I spent half an hour looking for them and it was almost a half yard leftover from 3 yards of fabric meant to be used for the borders. Disappearing fabric, kinda spooky! Good thing I have more white fabric, not the same pattern, but very close to it that I can use, but I hate it when things go missing. I will probably find it in a couple of years when I no longer need it.
Otherwise my scraps are very healthy and breeding like crazy. I do use a lot of scraps but I do like to have yardage available. I have my scraps organized by size, color, and type (novelty, seasonal, etc) and I also have a large basket that is starting to overflow from projects that I am working on currently. Once this quilt is finished, going to the quilter tomorrow, I can sit back, breath a sigh of relief and start sorting again.
Update: I did find my white scraps! They were folded inside some yardage. Oh, and look at what else I found in projects bag!
Hello and welcome to my website!
My name is Donna. My hubby and I are retired. We have twin daughters and are blessed with 4 grandchildren. We are owned by a cat, Purrl. who loves to supervise and is very nosy.
I have been quilting since 1996. In addition to making quilts for my family and friends, I also make charity quilts for Marjoree Mason Center and Valley Children's Hospital. Marjoree Mason Center is a local organization here that helps and supports battered and abused women and children get out of abusive relationships. Every Christmas I make several baby quilts for the women, with a small stuffed animal or toy.
I also belong to the San Joaquin Valley Quilters' Guild here in Fresno. Since I retired, I have been trying to finish most of my UFOs, but my stash is way out of control! I have lately gotten into designing quilts and enjoy that even more than sewing them! I love colors of all types and consider myself to be a true scrappy quilter and I do love playing with designs.
I am the owner/moderator of Scrappy Quilters on Facebook, where we are very active with many mystery quilts, challenges and swaps. I welcome you to come by and check us out at https://www.facebook.com/groups/ScrappyQuilters.
Thank you for dropping by and I hope to see you again soon.
