This page will feature merchants you might need.  They will only be listed here if they are reputable, good service providers, with quality products.  Of course, you know we don't promote needless fabric buying, but you will occasionally need to purchase backing, binding, sashing, batting, and quality supplies needed for UFO completion.  They are also assisting in sponsoring the site, by generating some revenue for Stashbuster.  We love reputable merchants!

Crafty Girl's Workshop can be found at Etsy, where mostly patterns and precut fabric is sold, or else at the Crafty Girl's website, where continuous yardage is available for bigger projects.  To complete a quilt you'll need some yardage for backing or borders, so you will find many bolts of coordinates that help you finish your quilt.  The patterns they promote are fun and fast and can be completed with the fabrics from your stash! If you are busy and don't have time to make all the decisions about fabric and patterns, you can pick a kit--no waste!

The Quilting Cottage, in Rochester, Washington, is owned by Diana Tavis, who started quilting at age 10, and loves scrap quilts because they bring back such nice memories of her mother's quilts.  She understands and supports crazy scrap quilters!

Our own Stashbuster, Marguerita McManus, has published "Crazy Shortcut Quilts", a book that instructs you on how to crazy piece blocks which are all quilted as you go.  The quilted pieces are then bound together as you finish them, so you have a finished quilt when you are done piecing!  She has published a companion DVD on how to teach the simple methods in a classroom setting.  If you are a quilting teacher, this is a great tool.  And in addition, she will give you all the online support you could possibly need to be an effective teacher.  The price of the DVD, called "Teaching Crazy Shortcut Quilting", for now and until November 1, for her blog readers and members of groups she belongs to, including Stashbuster, the price of the kit is $49.95.  On November 1 it goes up to $74.95

We were green before it was even popular! Our mission is to use what we have, finish what we started, and not buy needlessly!  Go Green!  Recycle a pig!
