About

art and craft supplies for sale in our online bargain storeSewing and quilting are wonderful hobbies but what to do with all the scrap pieces of fabric they generate? This site attempts to offer up some ideas for those bits and pieces recycled into something wonderful, oftentimes useful and hey, being creative is just plain fun.

Remember that quilts don’t have to be cotton. I have a couple of double knit quilts bought at estate sales and they are very warm and they wear like iron. I’ve used rayon here and there and when backed with interfacing it loses it’s drape and isn’t so slippery to work with.

Don’t quilt or sew? Maybe paper is your thing and many applique patterns can be easily adapted to this medium. There are also many images designed for embroidery that are suitable for paper and hey, no raw edges to worry about! You can find them at my sister site French-Knots.com.
