Learn How to Use the Tiniest Fabric Scraps

Quilters showing off their crumb quilt blocks

I recently traveled to the beautiful state of North Dakota.  There I taught to the Dakota Prairie quilts how to use the tiniest fabric scraps.  All the quilters showed up with boxes, bags and bins full of fabric scraps.  Someone even brought a bin to share with everyone.  Then the fun began.scrap quilting with a feather weight sewing machine

I loved seeing the scraps dumped onto tables.quilter sewing scraps on a feather weight sewing machine

It was delightful to watch the creative process as pieces were sewn together.Quilter sewing with fabric scraps

The room buzzed with friendly chatter as the sewing machines hummed. quilter sewing at machine

I watched as experienced quilters watched over the beginning quilters to ensure their success.Experienced quilter helping a beginner

It didn’t take log before lovely crumb fabric began to appear.

Crumb Quilt blocks began to pile up in anticipation of becoming a Twist and Shout quilt form my Crumb Quilts book.Growing pile of crumb quilt blocks

In addition other quilters choose to turn theirs into circles to applique.  Like I did in my Loose Change and Over the Rainbow quilts.  Also found in my Crumb quilts book. Quilter holding up appliqued crumb quilt circles

In addition to the crumb quilt class, I taught my Jumbo Scrappy Star design class.  I can barley wait to see how Kathy’s quilt turns out.  Her molted solid scraps and black background with pops of color are stunning.Quilter laying out quilt on design wall

Kathy was so excited about her design.  She sent me a picture of her finished top shortly after the class.  Isn’t it stunning!?
