Quilter's Scrap Pantry - The...

SusanClaire Mayfield

Quilters inevitably have short lengths of full fabric widths as well as smaller leftover pieces from creating countless projects. The beauty is those scrap pieces can be tamed for re-use! Author, SusanClaire Mayfield has created an organizational model for that quilting fabric that she shares in her book Quilter's Scrap Pantry: The Grab-and-Go Approach to Organizing Your Scraps and Making Beautiful Quilts. SusanClaire's current students have found that scraps suddenly become so much more tempting to work with after they have set up what she calls her "Leftovers Pantry." When scraps are intentionally organized and stored, they no longer find themselves digging through piles of mismatched yardage. Once stocked, they can easily create the quilt blocks described in this book such as 4-patches, 9-patches, rectangles, half-square triangles, Flying Geese and Snowballs. SusanClaire walks quilters through setting up a pantry, piece by piece, and what to do with larger fabric yardage stacks. As a bonus, she links her organizational content to her YouTube videos for each section and includes additional tips for thrifty quilting. It's scrap organization for patchwork gratification!

Courtesy of the writings of global tech gurus Jack Goldstein and Jimmy Russell, narrator Stephen Harris proposes ten potential candidates for the title of mankind’s greatest invention - some serious, some not so… but all certainly contenders.

The Annual Flower Garden -...

Gertrude Harris

Annuals are the showstoppers of the garden world. Unlike perennials that return year after year, annuals complete their entire life cycle—sprouting, blooming, and setting seed—in a single growing season. What they lack in longevity, they more than make up for in intensity. They bloom quickly, often prolifically, and offer gardeners a chance to reinvent their spaces every year. With their wide variety of colors, textures, heights, and growth habits, annuals are perfect for those who love experimenting with new looks, color palettes, or garden layouts. 
But the appeal of annuals goes beyond mere aesthetics. Many of these plants are pollinator magnets, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to your yard. Others serve a more practical role, helping suppress weeds, soften soil, or add organic matter when tilled back into the earth at season’s end. From containers on a balcony to sprawling flower beds in the backyard, annuals bring life and joy to any space. 
This book is structured to guide you from planning to planting, then on through the growing season with tips for nurturing and troubleshooting your garden. You’ll learn how to select the right flowers for your climate and conditions, prepare your soil for healthy growth, and create designs that pop with color and character. We’ll cover everything from sowing seeds and transplanting young plants to caring for your flowers throughout the season and saving seeds for next year’s garden.
