My heart was so broken when I found out this amazing woman who taught me to quilt is no longer with us😢 how many lives she must have touched, what a legacy
Great ideas for scraps!! I have been using my batting scraps along with all my fabric scraps to stuff dog beds that I donate to the local shelter. Many friends give me their scraps too so I'm able to make several for the shelters! I was given a bunch of upholstery fabric that I use for the outside!!
Hi Melanie. Great video. You look wonderful & I pray that is a sign that you are healing nicely. Please update us again when you have news. We care & love you. If you haven’t made a video on this, I’d love to have you show us how to make some things for crochet. Like for instance a roll type pouch for our different hooks, a bag for current projects, a way to keep our yarn flowing like a yarn bowl but out of fabric maybe. Just ideas for you. Also, a video on how you store your yarn. My mom taught me some basic crochet when I was younger but I hadn’t worked on anything in years. Until I saw your berry stitch blanket. I’m working on it now. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us. ❤️🥰💕
I use mine for quilt as you go blocks in different sizes, and this year I made quilt as you go Christmas ornaments following a tutorial. I can't remember what channel the tutorial was on, but I want to say Shabby Fabrics. I'm not sure if that's right though. The ornaments use a tiny 3"x3" scrap of batting. If I can find it I'll come back and add to my comment. :) Love all of your ideas too!
I’ve been watching you all the way back when you lived in Hawaii! I pray your doing better and just taking a long needed break! Merry Christmas and God bless you and your family!
I just zigzagged some together for a cute Valentines Day table runner. Was so glad I kept my scraps! Good to see you and hope your are doing well!! Looking good!! Keep the videos coming! I just watched one of your beginner crochet videos and made myself a beanie. Have to add the Pom Pom and it will be ready to wear ! Thank you for all of your talent and for sharing with us! Stay safe and well!! You’re the best!!!!!!💕
Hi, I just used some batting for phone pillow stuffing. I have zigzagged nice, but small pieces together & used them for bowl cozies. I may start a project to wrap refrigerator handles enclosed in fabric. I just started making ginger tea so I may do a mug wrap.
It was very helpful. I’m going to cut some scraps tomorrow for dusting. Pat Sloan told about using a piece in your stiffer flat mop. There are push places on all 4 corners and that’s how you secure it. You guys have some great ideas. Tfs. 👏🏻💕👏🏻
This is so hard to believe she’s gone. She looks so full of life but was probably sick here. I miss her so much. Can’t imagine what her family is going through. Rest, sweet lady. You made a difference and your story lives on.
Make soft books out of them. Quiet time activity books are good too. You can make them whatever size of batting you have. English paper piecing and applique also work.
Hi, I started quilting over a year ago and I love it! Right now I’m making a quilt with crumbs and scraps, it’s challenging but fun. I’ve been wanting to ask you. What brand/s of threads do you use for quilting and regular sewing?
Hot Pads are a great way to use up scraps...you can seam a few pieces together for this and it would not matter as the project is so smalll and you would most likely be quilting quite a few lines on in for stability.
Thank you for sharing such great ideas! I am new to sewing and always look forward to learning all your trips and tricks. Thank you for being such an amazing and helpful sewing teacher! I have a question - I’m looking into buying a wool pressing board and would like to know your thoughts. Are there specific brands you recommend? Or things I should keep in mind before purchasing? Thank you!
Another way to attach your batting together if you’re out of the tape is use strips of Fusible Interfacing. I bought a bolt when I was doing T-shirt quilts for someone and it’s a light weight and I cut in about 1 inch strips and I keep them in a bag and whenever I run into a problem where I need to add a piece of batting I just get those out they work great
I just used batting scraps for toddler sized oven mitts I made. They look super cute, but my 2-year old hates them. She prefers to play with her gloves for going outside when she plays with her kitchen. Oh well.. I tried. XD
Oh Melanie, how are you? Really good to see you, have been missing your face on your videos. Please do more videos so we can see you. Thank you for this latest video and greetings from Thelma, New Zealand
Thanks for the ideas. When I use batting for stuffing, I cut in 12” squares or whatever then I just kinda tear down from the top. Some pieces are big and some are small. It doesn’t really matter cause you just stuff it😂I really really enjoy your channel. Thanks

I do the same thing! I put ALL of sewing scraps (fabric, batting, thread) in a pillowcase, stitch it up on the end and makes a nice dog/cat bed.
Thank you! Learned a lot from your videos! You are a natural presenter/teacher! Stay safe !
Came over to watch some of your videos. You are so loved and missed. ❤❤❤

Ohhh I didn’t think about quilting the pieces for the zipper pouches. Great idea 👍🏻!

Ty so much. I zig zagged some batting scraps together to make hot pads And pot holders. I’m a beginner sewer I appreciate you.

Great ideas, I tend to keep a tiny square of batting near my sewing machine. Really like how the threads I cut off stay on the batting.
Still watching ur vids ❤❤❤

This is so hard to believe she’s gone. She looks so full of life but was probably sick here. I miss her so much. Can’t imagine what her family is going through. Rest, sweet lady. You made a difference and your story lives on.
I miss her too 😥

I use the batting tape, too, and after ironing, make a big zig zag seam down it. Never comes apart!
This was a great video! Thank you!
Thanks.... certainly helpful.
Thanks for great ideas. Hope you are doing well xx
Good ideas thankyou.x

LOVE your videos. Could you make a tutorial on how to crochet slippers and baby booties? I hope you are doing well.
I made design boards with some of my scraps.
Your scarves look so cute, Melanie, and so is your hairstyle, look really professional.
She’s married Bryon.

Good ideas, but I hate to dust!☺️
Good Morning 💕
