Oh me oh my....one of the HARDEST things in the world for me to do is get rid of fabric scraps. They are just tooo sweet to dispose of. Consequently my scrap bins are always overflowing with "what should I do with these" yumminess.
So imagine my sheer delight with Sarahs new love of quilting! She sits and cuts all sizes of squares from my scraps....big ones...little ones...and even the TINIEST ones you could imagine! The squares all get sewn together ...and the end result is just amazing; all from SCRAPS! As she was cutting away today...I asked her what she was going to do with the scraps of the scraps. Tiny thread-like pieces that anyone else would just grace their trash can with. She paused skillfully and then said, I`m going to use them to stuff a pillow. OH be still my heart!!!! Sarah...you are definately my hero... the scrap master!
Have you been over to my website yet to see the spring collection??? I`ve had so much wonderful feedback! Send me an email and tell me what you think to be entered in the drawing for a free Maggie tank!!
I`m off to take a few more pictures...hopefully take a walk on the beach and catch the sunset. I`ve been promising Amber all day that I would play Pollys with her. So I`ll be busy this evening endulged in 5 year old play....I can`t wait!
Have a WONDERFUL Friday!

The Maggie line is STUNNING, Laurie, you did a really great job. You will definitely have to share a pic of one of Sarah's finished quilts. :)
