DISCLAIMER: Guess what??? There's only 6 ways of making Scrappy Patches not 7! But there are 2 ways of basting, I must have gone into a coma when I was counting and included one of the basting stitches? I don't know! I told you.... I'm Aging Creatively and Gratefully and I'm grateful I can make these videos at all so, expect MISTAKES! 🤣

Thank you for sharing Jeri….love the slow stitching patches - such a fun idea. I like to write about my finished patch. My recent one had the number 25 on a scrap piece and after I had finished it (only 5x5 inch) intuitively I wrote a paragraph about what was happening in my life when I was 25. I love these unplanned works where you follow what your soul dictates and I put them in a hand made book - one per week. So hopefully by the end of the year I’ll have not only some lovely stitched work, but stories as well. Keep up the great work - greetings from Australia 🌻🌻🌻

I have no problem selecting fabric and colors, although my stash has a lot of ‘brightness’ because I’m a quilter. Your video encouraged me to turn to the vintage linens I have, however. What I was missing was how to assemble small pieces, how to create a unit out of smaller units. Perhaps I’m more challenged by the size (small), precisely because of the quilting? That said, I’m wondering if brighter scraps could be ‘tamed’ enough to use on the reduced scale? @@JeriBellini

The other is to use the back. I'm a quilter too and have SO much fabric AND during Covid my husband and I got an account with Benartex Fabrics and sold their fabric in our shops, we have 3 Etsy shops... So we purchased a TON of beautiful but very abstract cotton quilting fabrics. Sold off a lot for masks but still have a LOT left. Have been trying to figure out a way to use them and also give others ideas of how to use them. Just so happen to have some on my desk to play with. Stay tuned for a video! 🩷
