Mini quilts are my go-to for using up FQs, and I use low quality solids for tester quilts for trying out quilting and tension on. I also like to make little bags and stuff and like to use cute, but not my style fabrics for the lining, especially of pockets. I've donated a bunch to a local charity that works with homeless people to give them a free and safe place to create (it's called Art Street, they have every craft imaginable!), and then they have artist shows twice a year and they have an opportunity to sell what they've made and make some cash. I figure they'll do something interesting with even the ugliest of fabric, or it gets thrown away and either way it had another opportunity at another life/use. Oh and pillow cases are a good way to use up a yard or more! I'm thinking next month with be No Buy July, (with the exception of some purchases in NJ) and extend it to my bday in August when my LQS has a 25% discount on for birthdays.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843675387693755387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017288345711987555.post-56389489830281620172015-06-15T11:43:54.585-04:002015-06-15T11:43:54.585-04:00These are great tips for sewing and using your sta...These are great tips for sewing and using your stash.
