Quilter’s Scrap Pantry [EPUB ebook] 
The Grab-and-Go Approach to Organizing Your Scraps and Making Beautiful Quilts

Quilters inevitably have short lengths of full fabric widths as well as smaller leftover pieces from creating countless projects. The beauty is those scrap pieces can be tamed for re-use! Author, Susan Claire Mayfield has created an organizational model for that quilting fabric that she shares in her book Quilter's Scrap Pantry: The Grab-and-Go Approach to Organizing Your Scraps and Making Beautiful Quilts. Susan Claire's current students have found that scraps suddenly become so much more tempting to work with after they have set up what she calls her ‘Leftovers Pantry.’ When scraps are intentionally organized and stored, they no longer find themselves digging through piles of mismatched yardage. Once stocked, they can easily create the quilt blocks described in this book such as 4-patches, 9-patches, rectangles, half-square triangles, Flying Geese and Snowballs. Susan Claire walks quilters through setting up a pantry, piece by piece, and what to do with larger fabric yardage stacks. As a bonus, she links her organizational content to her You Tube videos for each section and includes additional tips for thrifty quilting. It's scrap organization for patchwork gratification!

Susan Claire Mayfield has been quilting since the seventies and was sewing as a child encouraged by her mum before then. When asked to teach at a local quilting store Susan Claire decided to prepare her own patterns for the class. The designs and patterns were popular, and quilters asked for more — and so the pattern designing began. She has many designs now and her own studio in her home in the country, in New Zealand, and loves it! At one point in her journey, she prepared a Quilters version of a 3-course fabric meal with appropriate commentary and good humor — and so the Gourmet Quilter. . .because quilting is delicious! was born. Susan Claire has developed the Gourmet Quilter theme since then and has exhibited in NZ, UK and now USA. She has presented and tutored and still finds time to design and make quilts. Her Quilting Studio is open to visitors by appointment, and you are made to feel most welcome
