Making Scrap Quilts Beautiful! 10 Months of Inspiration with Elaine T.



Discover the endless possibilities hiding in your scrap basket! Throughout this series, we'll explore how scraps are created, what sizes are worth saving, the best ways to organize and store them, and—most importantly—how to turn even the uglies scraps into beautiful quilts.

Each month you'll learn practical tips, clever techniques, and creative ideas for making the most of your fabric leftovers. You'll also receive several patterns, project ideas, and quilting techniques designed to help you confidently use up your scraps. You might even be surprised to see how those "ugly" scraps can come together to create stunning quilts full of colour and character!

I love scrap quilts, and there will be loads of show-and-tell, which means loads of inspiration!

And if you're thinking, "I don't have a scrap collection yet," don't worry! I'll also show you how to create beautiful scrappy quilts using the fabric already in your stash—no overflowing scrap bin required.

While attending the live sessions isn't mandatory, we highly encourage you to join whenever possible. Each class will be recorded and available to watch for a limited time if you're unable to attend.

That said, the live classes offer sew much more than just the lesson. They're your opportunity to ask questions, share ideas, and enjoy the inspiration that comes from everyone's show-and-tell. It's a fun, interactive experience that simply can't be replicated by watching the recording alone.

We'd love to have you join us live whenever you can!
