Do you need scrap therapy?????

                   Quilters can be very frugal. We love fabric!!! We sew for hours and hours to create beautiful quilts, pillows, baby blankets and more. And we save the pieces that are left after the project is complete. In random clumps and sizes squished together to use later……in bags, boxes, drawers, closets, car trunks……well, it’s everywhere! Does this sound familiar, “Some day I’m going to make a quilt with all these scraps.”

You need scrap therapy! Join Sue as she helps you and your scraps get organized!

          Cost: $20.00, includes 2 plastic boxes for your scraps
