I have been sewing since I was a little girl. In fact, for as long as I can remember, I have been doing needlework. I was taught to embroider, to cross stitch, and of course how to sew on a machine. My dad bought me my first sewing machine. I was so excited! I made my own clothes for many years. Then I made clothes for my children. Now, I use my machine for piecing, and occasionally for quilting.
I always say that my favorite color is red. You would not know it by the color of the clothes that I wear or the colors that I use to decorate my home. Yet, you will see that it is my favorite color by the fabrics that I choose! This means that I have lots of scraps, and what is the best way to use up scraps? Make a scrappy quilt.
I am partial to florals, as you can see. I wish that I had kept track of the fabrics that I used. Maybe you recognize some? I also didn’t keep any information on which projects the scraps are from. I wish that I was more organized. Maybe with this blog I will be.
