Are you a quilter with a basket full of fabric scraps you just can't throw away?

Marilyn discovered that cartonnage was the perfect way to give those treasured fabrics a new life.

"I learned so much watching the videos and having the right tools. I have just sent in my second order for two more kits. Having fun learning and using my quilting scraps!"

One of the things quilters love most about cartonnage is the opportunity to use favorite fabrics in a completely different way. Those special scraps can become beautiful boxes, organizers, journals, and keepsakes you'll enjoy every day.
