Waste Not, Everything Has Use!
Since I began KnittenKaboodle, I've made many, many aprons, totes and other miscellaneous items (and I have an assortment of spring items in process as I type here). Cutting shapes from fabric leaves quite a few small pieces of fabric, many not more than two to five square inches. What to do with them?
Here in Centre County (PA), there is a group of women that make quilts and blankets for charity donations at local hospitals. They've been bringing cheer and comfort to many people for years now, using the their talents and love of crafting to do so. Local quilter Peggy Bierly happily takes my fabric scraps and creates small format quilts with them. Once the quilting cover is completed, she uses her own batting and backing to complete the quilts. To date she made four!
I never cease to be amazed at the generousity and love so many share, using their talents to touch the lives of others.
