Zero Waste Quilting: My Creative Journey
It’s funny when you look back on your scope of work to see how it’s evolved. For me, looking back includes Zero Waste Quilting before I even knew I was working in this sphere. Often a scope of work happens that way – you start doing something and it snowballs until one day you recognizeContinue reading “Zero Waste Quilting: My Creative Journey”
Transform Fabric Scraps into Eco-Friendly Projects
The last of the scraps from Metaphor. As I said in previous posts, some projects come easily and ohers take time to figure out. Some you figure out with a little divine intervention.

Creative Zero Waste Mug Rugs: Easy Projects
Once I figured out how to hurdle the Cute as Pie Carrier dilemma, the mug rugs were an easy project to throw together.

IfContinue reading “Creative Zero Waste Mug Rugs: Easy Projects”

Why I Choose Bias Binding
If you are like me, sitting down to bind a quilt means it’s almost finished. It’s so exciting to look through your stash, your binding scrap bin or go to the store to get fabric to complete this crucial step. Binding does more than secure our quilts, though. It acts as a frame and itContinue reading “Why I Choose Bias Binding”
