Quilting Tip of the Week 5.28.15

If life hands you scraps, display them! Take those smaller scraps and place them in old canning jars/pickle jars picked up at yard sales or your local Salvation Army store.

If you applique, this is a great way to keep those scraps organized and decorate your sewing room at the same time. Decorate the lid with the color inside the jar and feel free to store jars on their side if the mood strikes you!
