....and other life and business lessons learned from quilting. Makers have stories! And crafters have skills!

In these casual chats and interviews, I (often with a guest) talk honestly about creativity. The joy, and hope, and even healing it can bring, and the businesses we can build doing the things we love.

Eva and I Chat Up Scrappy Quilts

September 23, 2022 • Season 2 • Episode 76

Does the idea of creating a scrappy quilt just overwhelm you?

Where to start?

How to choose fabrics?

How to make it sparkle?

Eva and I both love a good scrap quilt, so we're sharing the things we've learned about fabric selection, scrap storage, even pre-cutting into sizes we know we use often.

We've got some simple tricks for determining color value and placement (hint: your smart phone is an epic tool) and also suggestions for additional support (think sewalongs and dedicated Facebook groups)

Wishing you some scrap-happy quilting!
