Stash Stories

Learn how to make a Stash Story — a mini quilt or postcard made from fabric scraps that tells a memory or adventure through color and texture. In this video, I show you my step-by-step process from pulling fabrics to quilting and finishing.

👉 What you’ll learn:
• What a Stash Story is and where the idea came from (Aurifil Artisan challenge + quilt show inspiration)
• My step-by-step process — pulling scraps, choosing a background, collaging, quilting, and finishing a postcard-style mini quilt
• Tips for simple finishing and adding personal touches

🎥 Make it your own: Use your favorite scraps, an ombré or low-volume background, and don’t overthink it — the looseness is the charm.
