Don't throw away those scraps... even the little ones! :-)
Lucky Duck Dreams had this recent post that really caught my eye. In the post she shows a scrappy quilt she made and some of her tips for using the leftover fabric pieces. One thing that made me think "DUH" why didn't I think of that is using the super small scraps to stuff beds for dogs in shelters. Well.... I have had dogs my entire life and I buy beds for them from time to time. I wonder how many dog beds I could've had over the 20 years I've been sewing!!!! :-) So... just from the top of my sewing room trash can I've filled a large bag with scraps I'd discarded. My own little dogs will reap the benefits of my stash when I acquire enough. I will have to remember the local shelter too though. GREAT IDEA!! So glad she shared! Check out her site for this post and others. I like her site. As you know we love to Blog Hop and gather ideas! Have a great day!!! Quiltpecan

I have two "trash" bins in my sewing room. One for just fabric scraps and thread. One for actual trash.
