I really appreciate your post o sustainable quilting. I’m a scrap quilter myself. I sew a lot, using repurposed fabrics and fabric that has been sourced from thrift stores, fabric resale shops and fabrics that have been given to me. I have a lot of scraps left and quilting just makes the best use of them. Not only does it use up the pieces, but I feel like it is more faithful to the purpose of quilting.

Last winter I made a quilt with cotton prints on the top and pieces of flannel shirts for the back. It is the best.

Good morning, looking through my pictures, it looks like I bought the “open heart “” pdf from your company. The reason I am texting is my iPad Crashed taking all my pattern. I was hoping that you would resent the pattern. If so, THANK YOU

The dress has a zipper in the back and it is about 5 to 5 inches below the waist. when removing the bodice how do I fill the gap from where the zipper was?
