| When I sew, I end up with a lot of leftover fabrics. I wanted to see what I could make with those leftover fabrics and was inspired to get scrappy. I am challenging myself and you to make a new quilt from your scrap stash. Each quarter I will chose a scrap-friendly pattern & we will work on it together for 3 sew days (1 a month). Bring your stash to sew with or exchange with the group to make a truly unique quilt. $50 a quarter will include your pattern & the 3 sew days. The first quarter is a slight bit cheaper as there are only 2 sew days (February 6th and March 6th) |
