Combing Through Your Scraps CD-Rom

What do you do with all those scraps? Karen continues her quilting magic and offers an answer - fabulous scrap quilts. Focusing on color value rather than color or texture, she offers practical magic for using those leftover, and sometimes less lovely fabrics found in almost everyone's stash. Using only light and dark basic Nine-Patch and Split Nine-Patch blocks, you can create eye-catching designs to enhance any setting. Included are dozens of design possibilities and 18 projects.

Karen's book "Combing Through Your Scraps" has been a wonderful success.  It has been re-released as a printable CD-Rom and is now available!

 

Some reviews of the book

From the November/December Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society Newsletter:

Combing Through Your Scraps in the newest book by KHQS member Karen Combs, of Columbia, Tennessee. While quilters can never have too much fabric, occasionally there is a need to organize and even "weed out" some of the scraps. Karen offers an answer to all those scraps - fabulous scrap quilts made by focusing on color value rather than color or texture. Leftover, and less lovely fabrics that reside in everyone's stash can be magically transformed into eye-catching designs by using only light and dark basic Nine-Patch and Split Nine-Patch blocks. Dozens of design possibilities and eighteen projects are offered in this 88-page softcover book.

 

From Amazon.com webpage:

5 stars:   This book not only stirs the imagination for scrap quilters, but also is refreshingly informative in a way to benefit the beginner and aid the intermediate with helpful technique and designing hints. I highly recommend this book for the quilter and for those buying gifts for quilters!
