I thought you would all like to see what I do with the off-cuts from

water-soluble stabilizer. When I make something in the 5x7 hoop, I usually
have enough left over from the sides of the design, which enables me to
fold it over and put it in the 4x4 hoop, and lay another piece of WSS on
the top, so nothing gets wasted, and these little flowers will be used to decorate something.

Lovely add ons for clothes, quilts, gift tags. Gr8 use of scraps. When I use WSS I will keep all small scraps in a zip lock baggie...can even make a spray from it....just put the spray in the fridge afterwards so it won't go moldy. *4Ur beautiful *'s

Thanks for the tip about making a spray
from WSS scraps. With all the scraps I've got, I would have to buy another fridge, especially to keep them in !!

Pat, you do use your stabilizer wisely, I have been known to do the same. Thanks. I really love flowers and butterflies. Who is the designer, perhaps daintystitches.com?

Crazy quilting is something I haven't
done yet, not really sure how to start.
Do you do yours in the hoop?
