Bearing Down in the Scrap Box

Posted on January 17, 2021January 21, 2021

I swear the scraps are knee deep around here. I keep making scrap quilts but the pile of scraps never seems to go down in my scrap boxes. Not sure quite what I would do if I had no scraps – as scrap quilting is my favourite! But still, everywhere scraps. Back before Christmas I…
