SAVE THOSE SCRAPS AND USE THEM!

When I saw this Crumbly Leaves table topper in the Love of Quilting Magazine I knew I had to make it.  I keep and sort all my scraps by color.  I love applique so I save pieces of all sizes.  You never know when you might need it.  I had so much fun using my scraps to make this table topper that I asked Chris at the Attic Window Quilt Shop if I could teach a class on "making fabric" with scraps.  

I hope you will join me in this fun class where I will show you how to use your scraps of all sizes. 

For this class we will make this maple leaf, but I can see where you can use this technique for various patterns.  So, start saving those scraps.  As you can see above I grabbed a pile of my green scraps to make this leaf.  But I can see it in the golds and reds and yellows of autumn.  The class is Friday, Nov. 16 at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  Please call the shop to register and get a class supply list.
