Today we’re delighted to be the first stop on Kay Mackenzie’s blog tour introducing her latest book, Scrap-Appliqué Playground. If you keep quilt scraps but aren’t sure how to put them to good use, you’ll find Kay’s technique a real time, space, and scrap saver! (See a how-to from an earlier post.)
Kay’s book makes it easy to fuse and patch your scraps to make whimsical designs. First, learn five ways to create new fabric from your quilt scraps, ready to become appliqué shapes. Then choose from eight simple appliqué quilt patterns that quilters of all skill levels can make.
Now, let’s hear from Kay as she shares how the idea for her fun new book—and how her awesomely original technique for quilting with scraps—came to be.
Greetings, quilting friends!
I’m Kay Mackenzie, a quilter, designer, and Martingale author. I live in Santa Cruz, California, with my husband, science journalist Dana Mackenzie, and our young tuxedo cat, Maxwell Smart.
Stitch This! has kindly invited me to be a guest today, and I’m excited to be here. It’s the first day of a very fun blog hop all through cyberspace to learn more about my new book, Scrap-Appliqué Playground. Today I thought I’d talk about how the idea for Scrap-Appliqué Playground cooked gently for years before it finally came to the forefront and became a book.
This scrap-appliqué journey started a long time ago at a rare juncture when I found myself with a little space between deadlines. All I wanted to do was sit down and sew!
I gathered scraps and strips, sorted them into loose colorways, and started sewing them together, cutting across them, and sewing them together again. It was fun and engaging; I was having a fabulous time with never a thought of what I’d do with those spontaneous fabric compositions. Before I could even get that far, another project came up, so with a little regret I set my free-time sewing aside.
Those patchwork fabric compositions sat in my UFO pile for years while I traveled down the Easy Appliqué Blocks and Inspired by Tradition roads. But I never discarded them, because I knew their someday would come. At long last I hauled them out. I’ve always been an appliqué enthusiast, so I started playing with the idea of cutting appliqués out of them. I made big hearts.
I used the fusible-interfacing method, which is given in the book. They looked like a stack of fluffy pancakes:
I made a couple things for the charity group in my guild that makes quilts for kids in need.
The gals in the group were so enthusiastic that I gave them the rest of those prototype hearts to play with. And the patched-appliqué idea simmered some more.
Finally the decks were cleared and there was time to start on a whole brainstorming session, refining my methods as I went and seeing just what I could do with patched-together appliqué. I used fun unplanned piecing methods and spontaneous fusing methods to create fabric compositions. I reached into my appliqué bag of tricks and used a few different ways of making appliqués out of the patchwork pieces. And so Scrap-Appliqué Playground was born!
The methods have been refined since those first big patchy hearts, but the spontaneous, unplanned aspects remain. It’s all creative and engaging, and it adds texture, sparkle, and whimsy to your appliqué. There’s no measuring or calculation, and you’ll have loads of fun putting fabrics together and using your most precious scraps. Join me on the playground!

What a cute idea for scraps… You could really do this for any shape needed on a quilt. Great idea!
—Missie on June 7, 2012I’m a scrap saver. I have 3 gallon ice cream tubs that I’ve set aside for various assortments — One for "crumbs and strings", and three for larger scraps. Her method of creating her own fabric looks like a great way to use up those bits and pieces!
It’s nice to see how her technique began. Thanks for sharing!
—Jean F on June 7, 2012That looks like a GREAT book! Hopefully, you mean enter by June 8 (rather than May 8?!) and thanks for the giveaway!

Thank you and Martingale for a super giveaway and a chance to win a great book.

We donate quilts and fleece blankets to the Life Centers (babies, toddlers and families in crisis)in Indianapolis and our VA Hospital. We have one spouse of retired military, one USAF mom, one mom of the Indiana Guard Reserve, and two former servicewomen in our group. I can see lots of great ideas for us to share our talents with those in need. Nothing speaks "a touch of cozy love" better than a fabric gift (and chocolate!).

They are a bunch of 1/8th yard batiks in the shades of Rainbow Sherbet ice creams I hoped to use for a book called Petal Play. Unfortunately, after washing the fabrics got all tangled and frayed and became scraps. I loved the colors so much I couldn’t bear to part with them. They’ve been simmering for close to two decades!!
