The ironing board tip to support the weight of the quilt is a wonderful idea. Thank you for your fantastic site!! Reta Cardinal |

| Comments: | Thanks for your tips on taming the stash! I'm using it to organize my sewing room's entire contents for our move from New York state to Florida. With a "collection" of my own over 35+ years plus my Mom's & Grandma's sewing things - well, you can imagine the job I have. The best part is I can still go back to visit my quilting friends up north, and I already have a wonderful group of new quilting friends where I am moving. Quilters are the best! |

I actually checked your book out of the local Eagle River library not too long ago. You are an inspiration! Thanks for the treasure trove of useful information and wonderful directions and photos. We love to exchange fabrics and will do so soon with one of your quilt patterns in mind.
Happy Quilting! CeeGee |

| Comments: | Hello my name is Jennifer, I am 34, and live in upstate Ny. I first started sewing scrappy quilts when I was very young. My grandma would set up the sewing machine, have a pile of blocks cut from all her left over fabrics of all textile types, and let me practice sewing straight lines. I still have the top my grandma helped me make. It is all scraps. It has to be one of the ugliest quilts I have ever made. But I love every square inch of it and every time I look at it I think of my grandma. I even have some of her feed sack fabric that someday I will use for a patchwork quilt. Since then I have tried many types of patterns. I have to say scrap quilts are my all time favorite. I keep all of the leftover scraps from quilt projects in a bin. I was so happy to see the crumb, crumb pattern. It meant I now had a pattern to make with all those little bits and pieces. I must say recently my mother and friend of the family started to quilt. They now save all the scraps leftover from their projects. I would cringe when I saw all of potential quilt projects tossed into the trash within those little scraps. I think they now realize there is potential in those little fabric scraps. Any quilt show I visit whether local or national, I enjoy all the fancy stitching and creativity but I enjoy the patchwork scrap quilts the most. Thank you for doing the work you do and promoting such a wonderful art form that has survived so many years. Quilting is such a wonderful hobby to learn and teach to others. There are so many levels to learn and everyone can have there own nitch in the quilting world. Thank you for inspiring so many people. :) Jennifer |

Now, I just don't know which one to start next! I am worn out from cutting all my scraps (and most of my fat quarters and yardage) into strips. I have also become addicted to thrift stores and flea markets on the lookout for XL men's cotton shirts. Thank's to your awesome patterns, I will soon need to join a twelve step program!

| Comments: | Hi Bonnie,
I found my way back here while looking to find a pattern for a bargello wall hanging. I forgot how I made my first one from your scrappy pattern years ago. I just read some of your comment especially about losing your friend in 2007, I cried, and it was like visiting an old friend. The picture in front of your house with your little white car is sweet. I enjoyed looking at all your quilts down through the years. I have made about 40 so far since I started in 2003. I love it. I will die quilting. I love Kaffe Fassett's fabric and am using it to make my son a wallhanging for his apt. in San Diego, CA. Well, Thanks again for being here for us all us quilters Talk to you later! Lin |

| Comments: | I began quilting about a month ago and am hooked! I followed the simple Yellow Brick Road pattern and completed a queen-sized quilt for my bed.The directions were to finish the quilt by sewing the four seams together and then adding binding. I haven't finished the binding yet, when this is done it will be completed.
I also read on your website about making quilts for charity. What I read was for orphans, or children in hospitals, or premmies. I am interested. How would I go about getting in contact with someone? |

| Comments: | Your web sites (here and stashbusters) have been such a help. The hints are great and I've changed how I see fabric.
I was given fabrics that the donor wanted to see put in charity quilts. My confidence level at the time limited me to "bright, cheery, sturdy, and FINISHED" made-to-be-puked-on baby quilts. I thought I could slip them into some rail fence quilts. But one was truly ugly. Bubble gum pink flowers on a Betadine-merthiolate orange background and I've got over 2 yards of it!! I've had the fabric at least 5 years but felt too guilty to inflict it on anyone. Using your "if it's still ugly cut it up smaller" axiom this one will be the centers of the blocks --1.5" cut-- of a drop dead gorgeous (I hope) log cabin, blocks finish 3.75 inches, to be auctioned or raffled off. The logs are coming from my box of 1"strips-- started since reading about your scrap organization system. Two blocks done, 219-498 (lap quilt? bed quilt?) to go. But it WILL get finished as a leaders and enders project and it would never have been started before I had a supply of pre- cut logs or freed myself from the idea that all the blocks had to be done at once. You've boosted my confidence and my creativity not to mention keeping a LOT of fabric out of the landfill! Thanks and best wishes, God bless you. Lu Anne |

| Comments: | Thanks for more inspiration in making quilts using stings, strips, etc. I have been making quilts for Project Linus for about 6 years and have donated over 500 to date. The quilts are about 44" x 48" as this is the easiest size for me to handle and most economical, batting and fabric wise, also.
Many of the quilts utilize printed panels or simple traditional blocks but I prefer string pieced and crumb (I call them primitive crazy patch) blocks. Many adults may not find them appealing because of the array of fabrics and colors but kids find them mesmerizing. My own grandchildren have spent many hours sitting on the floor with my latest quilt, looking to see what they could find. I use everything imaginable, so long as it is washable, from solids, stripes, dots, plaids, animals, holiday (including some glow-in-the-dark Halloween), cartoon characters, etc. all mixed together. In addition, I am just as apt to mix fabric types, corduroy, denim, reinforced silk, flannel, stable knits and fleece, in order to add texture. I hope this crazy mix gives the hospitalized child, who receives one of my quilts, some diversionary fun to focus on for at least a little while. Please encourage others to use up those scrap bits and pieces they have for making charity quilts. There are numerous charity organizations and shelters who would welcome their donations whatever the size. Thanks again Ellie May |

| Comments: | Dear Bonnie,
I just received your book from the US (I am Austrian) and I am absolutely delighted. I work mostly from used flea market bargains or old clothes which I never threw away since I just can't waste fabric and am reluctant to buy typical patchwork fabric. Therefore I really do appreciate your book and love the way you use any type of scrap, though mostly geometrics (stripes and plaids). I am looking forward to your next book - hopefully there will be one. With kind regards Beate |

| Comments: | I love your web-site. Wonderful information and patterns. Additionally I liked you direction on handling scraps. I spent two whole days a couple weeks ago going through all my stash and cutting up all the left over yardage from previous quilts into the various strips and log. Bought several of the clear containers when they were on sale at Joanns for 1/2 price. What a feeling of accomplishment. Everthing is now well organized and labeled and ready to be used on a scrap project.
Thanks Again. |

I didn't know you until I saw at your presentation last night at the Newtown (PA) Quilters Guild meeting. You and your quilts are amazing! Count me in as your newest fan - I do believe learning about "Leaders and Enders" was a life-changing moment! Thank you so much for taking the journey to speak to our guild.

I had a ball stitching your Double Delight, and have since completed two other Bonnie quilts, Star Struck (in batiks) and Strip Twist. I am looking forward to your visit to our TN guild in March 2011. Keep up the good work, inspiring a new generation of quilters! Caroline |

I received your book,"Scraps & Shirttails," yesterday. This book is absolutely SUPERB!!!!!!!! I'm anxious to get my stash and scraps organized and find all those outlets I need for all those shirts. I shared your website info with the members of our Quilt Neighborhood Group (American Sewing Guild, Sacramento Chapter)at the meeting yesterday and many seemed interested. This is a whole new way of life for many of us. Keep up the good work. Thanks for all your efforts. Take care of yourself . . . Yvonne |

You are such a sharing, interesting person - what a shame we don't live close enough for me to come to one of your trunkshows! I would just love to see your quilts closeup. Thank you for sharing, inspiration and especially for taking the time to create & type up all this information so willingly shared. I am trying to buy less... and graduate to not buying any fabric in the future as my man has been made redundant - but its' OK as we are managing fine. His presence home all day, just cuts into my sewing time though! More Husband = less sewing time. He is lovely though - and he is still as funny as when I married him 42 years ago LOL! I have enjoyed the hour and a half I have just spent cruising through your site - Happy sewing! God Bless, x jessica |

I am so glad to have seen your lecture at the Brownstone Quilter's Guild, April 17,2009. I enjoyed it very much, thank you, I now look at my stash in a new and refreshed way. I'm looking for storage boxes to start cutting and separating my stash as I go. On my way to being organized! Happy Quilting, Evelyn |

I was fortunate enough yesterday to take your course at the Brownstone Quilter's Guild and I can't tell you how much I appreciate all your help and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I never thought I could do a scrappy quilt because of the chaos and I have to tell you after taking your workshop I look forward to completing this one and starting on another one. Thank you. Janet |

I just can't seem to throw anything away and you have given me lots of uses for those treasured bags of scraps I have been saving with no real purpose in mind. I just started "Jared takes a wife" and it is coming along nicely. I hope you will be in the Pittsburgh area some day!

| Comments: | I just spent the greater part of Easter Monday reading every inch of your wonderful site. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am a neophyte on the computer and doing baby steps quilting. I was a Emergency nurse for 30 yrs and raised 4 children. I was never allowed to use my mothers sewing machine because I was left handed and in her day that was a sinister" thing. After retirement I just went out and got myself a sewing machine and after I figured out you can't push the material through the hole and feed with your left I started to do alright. I hope to purchase your book as soon as the government gives back what little I had for retirement. |

| Comments: | Hi Bonnie! Thanks for your inspiration. I had a pile of "maybe I could" fabrics (you know, the fabrics that maybe I could make an apron out of, or maybe I could make some pot holders, or maybe I could..." and I loved them, but were too afraid to touch them because if I ever found a project for them and didn't have enough, I'd be upset. After going through your site, today I cut 6 inches off of each of these fabrics that I've been looking at forever. (2 long 2" strips and a pile of 2"squares) for some different quilt projects going on in my mind. I didn't cut it all up...but it's a start...right? Better in a quilt than sitting on a shelf! |

| Comments: | I feel like you are a close friend and are sharing your love for quilting with not only me, but maybe millions of quilters all over the world. Bless your efforts to share this "gift." I have found more inspiration on your website than in a combination of many other sites. The generosity of sharing your time and talent must reap enormous benefits for those who may have many needs. You and your groups answer those needs with articles of "love" and "hope" through doing something we all enjoy--sewing quilts so that we can give comfort to another person.

Have been sewing for years, but am just getting started in quilting. I wish I had know years ago about your system. When I think of all the usable scraps I have tossed over the year, I cringe. After seeing your vintage sewing machine collection, I am dying to get my 1923 trendle out to sew a quilt. Jean |
