Making Scrap Quilts with Torn Bits and Strips
Heather ThomasDescription
Heather Thomas talks about using torn bits and scraps of leftover fabric on smaller quilting projects to create fun, unique pieces. She shows several examples of her own work, including a project that she based off of her daughter’s scribbling and a few pieces that contain schlubs, or thread that gets left behind in the dryer.

Heather I always love your videos! I may have to start prewashing!! Question: what do you do with all your finished pieces?
Looking forward to this activity
Wow, how creative you are Ms. Heather!
How do you use the misty fuse?
Heather, I have been really "blown out of the water" by the work you have shown in this video. It is truly magic! I now feel so inspired, thank you very, very much...Meg
Hi Heather, I really love your art quilts!!!
I think you are a very talented person and i love what you do and the way you use fabric, colours, stitches, shapes and all kind of various material to create these awesome pieces of art.
Can you be be specific about how you sew over the dryer scraps? Don't all the threads get tangled up in the presser foot? Thanks :)
what kind of batting do you use for these small quilts?
Love these ideas. I am definitely going to try these out.
