Scrap Happy Toiletry Bag for Dad

This month’s Scrap Happy pattern is a toiletry bag for Dad.  Or a zippered bag for anyone.  It’s fully lined with terry cloth, has a full zipper, a hanging tab, AND appliqued with a name.  Or letters.  Or not at all, but why not?

No-Tear Paper Piecing Class

I used a “tea-towel”, but a hand towel would work really well instead. The bunny gets appliqued to the base fabric first, then appliqued to the...

Custom Scrappy Quilt Borders

Designing Custom Scrappy Quilt Borders I really like scrap quilts.  I like random scrap quilts and organized scrap quilts.  I follow Bonnie Hunter, who in my opinion is the Ultimate Scrap Queen.  I even design some of my own scrap quilts, and then started to design custom scrappy quilt borders.
