About the Author

Janellea Macbeth is a creative individual who ‘arts’ her way through life and spends capacious amounts of time playing with fabric. An avid hand, machine, and long arm quilter, Jan has been sewing for 31 years and quilting for 25. She has introduced many friends to the delights of cutting fabric into little pieces to in order to sew it back into large pieces of fabric. She is joined in her sewing room exploits by her cats, who just want to help with EVERYTHING, and a dog who very respectfully naps through every sewing session.

5.0 out of 5 starseasy to follow and makes perfect sense
By Amazon Customer on October 30, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition
I borrowed this on my Kindle Unlimited account and started to browse it whilst I was meant to be sleeping between night duties.... I just couldn't put it down ...Its one of the VERY FEW quilting books I have downloaded that translates to eReaders perfectly.... The advice is simple, easy to follow and makes perfect sense.... apart from the not buying fabric for the sake of it bit, only buying fabric for specific projects..... could NEVER follow that bit of wisdom.... I'm off tomorrow, for two days, and plan to start serious scrap busting based on "The Plan" ... adapted as suggested to my own preferences (easy to do) ... But that's just the start of it... the tips to follow for sewing up those busted scrap stashes into non FUGLY quilts is excellent... completely makes sense... before I never quite understood how some scrappy quilts look fantastic... and others... FUGLY....What Janella tells us is like Gramdn=mother publishing the sevret family xmas cake recipe for the whole world... giving away scrappy trade secrets so that ANYONE can get it "right" ...not that theres rights and wrongs of course.... . Moving forward, based on the advice in this book... mine are going to be FANSTASTIC ....

5.0 out of 5 starsSo many ideas
By Florida Kayaker TOP 500 REVIEWER on January 10, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This is a review for ScrapStashtic Quilts: Organizing Your Scrap Fabric Stash and ACTUALLY USING IT.

The first portion of this book is about the authors history and experiences in the sewing world. By the time you get to quilting you are aware that she has a very extensive history in sewing. The time spent on her background makes me believe that she really does know what she is talking about.

The next portion of this book discusses the authors pre-recipe for scrap quilts. She explains in detail how to store various pieces and the shapes to cut scrap fabric into. The author has a lot of guidelines on what fabric to use and what not to. There are no pictures in this section. In fact there are not pictures in the entire book. That is OK for the experienced quilter but I suspect it is difficult for the beginner.

Next is the recipe section, the nuts and bolts of this book. There are many ideas to choose from and all are carefully explained.

There is a section on how to avoid making ugly quilts. That one made me smile because I have made some of those ugly quilts.

Overall this is a very informative book and I think most quilters will love it. I certainly got plenty of ideas from it. I am not sure how much a beginner would benefit from it but then they won't be beginners forever, hopefully.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat System for Using Scraps
By Sharon S. on October 1, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition
ScrapStashtic Quilts offers quilters a sensible, organized system for scrap quilting that is tailor-made for the person who, like me, is easily overwhelmed by a pile of accumulated fabric scraps. Instead of saving baskets full of disorganized scraps of all different sizes that you might be able to use in a quilt someday, you can use this system to deal immediately with every possible size of fabric scrap leftover from your quilt projects by cutting, organizing, and storing them neatly and compactly, and in a way that you can actually turn them into a quilt. I finished reading the book with the conviction that this is something I can and actually will do. The fact that there are no photographs of finished scrap quilts in the book appeals to my creative side. Without photos, I can’t be tempted to try to duplicate something the author has made. The graphics included in the book provide more than enough visual information for me to forge ahead and use my own unique collection of scraps to make my own one-of-a-kind quilt. I applaud the author for her environmental consciousness in having devised a system that uses every bit of fabric so that none of it ends up in a landfill.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat guide for using up fabric scraps
By Yvonna Hays on December 18, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I like that the author mentions that regardless of the size scrap, it is still monetarily worth something. I find it difficult to throw out pieces of fabric that are large enough to cut even a 2" square. I see friends throw out larger than 5" squares, and it drives me nuts. That fabric has value. I really like how the author's mind works. Very practical!

5.0 out of 5 starsLove the title
By sharon g. Morris on October 1, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition
Love the title, and the writing style by Janellea. She gives clear organizational methods for using those bits of fabric that we don't want to toss, but don't know how to incorporate into a project. She inspires the reader to be/become creative. And she does so with just the right bit of humor! She offers plans/suggestions that you can then take and adapt to your own quilting/sewing style. Not your typical "cut here...sew there" specific directions, as found in most quilting books.

5.0 out of 5 starsLove it!
By Amazon Customer on October 14, 2015

This is a fantastic system to use and I know thanks to now having it in written format, my scrap stash is more organized than ever. Things are in boxes and cut up instead of gathering dust in a pile somewhere. The recipes have opened up my own creative outlook at piecing together blocks when before I would need some sort of pattern to go off of. The whole process really gives someone the freedom to do what they want with what they have and have it be unique and one of a kind. Definitely a good system to keep in mind to keep that stash organized and used!
