Great use of scraps!

Great idea and I see that the "quality control" crew was right there on duty.

One year my guild managed to make 185 pet beds in one day. THANK YOU for thinking of the shelter fur babies!!

How very sweet of you to make beds for the furry kids. Love the first picture, you can just see that Skagway it thinking - ooh, looks like a great pile to cuddle in! And then he does!

I love your pillows! Good for you!!!

Great idea..making channels..will do on next ones.

I did that too. Cut up lots of scraps of fabric & batting with my rotary cutter, made pillows and brought them down to the shelter. I felt so good.

Thank you for this thread. You have inspired me to do the same thing. I like the idea of sewing channels. I now have a pillow case to put all of my scraps in. You are super to do this. Hugs. BrendaK

I use all my fabric scraps....too small to do much with, for the same thing. The animals love having a nice soft bad and the "pillows" can be washed without worry. Our Quilters Guild donates all their little pieces for this.
