Quilt in Joy is presenting a Trunk Show and Make-n-Take classes
featuring Soft Scrap®, a way to combine photography, quilting
and scrapbooking in a new and innovative art form. The Trunk
Show will be Saturday June 28 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, with
Make-n-Take classes at 10:00 am and 1:00 pm. The event will be
held at the Quilt in Joy store located at 10709 Dundee Road in
Huntley.
Soft Scrap® is fun and easy way to let people save memories and
create memories in quilts, wall hangings and pillows. It uses
ink jet printable fabric and any ink jet printer to print your
pictures directly onto the fabric. Then the Soft Scrap®
techniques use simple sewing skills to create one-of-a-kind
heirloom projects.
“We first saw Soft Scrap® at the International Quilt Festival in
Chicago”, said Kathi Dayon, owner of Quilt Joy, “and wanted to
bring it to our store. I contacted Vicki Shetter, creator and
educator of Soft Scrap®, from New London Wisconsin and we put
together the Trunk Show and Make-n-Take classes.”
“As the Soft Scrap® word spreads, people continue to comment
about the quality of the images on fabric and the uniqueness of
the designs,” said Vicki Shetter. “Our techniques combine the
design freedom and flair of scrapbooking with the rich texture
and colors found in fabrics. In addition, the Soft Scrap®
technique allows people with little sewing experience to create
high quality products and people with extensive sewing
experience to finish projects in a fraction of the time of
traditional piecing & quilting methods.”
The Trunk show will display a variety of projects including
small quilts, wall hangings, and pillows. Soft Scrap® Design
Books as well as the ink jet printable fabric will also be
available.
At the Make-n-Take, students will create a Victorian Pincushion.
“This project went over very well at the Chicago International
Quilt Festival,” Shetter said.

Soft Scrap® … and more llc was created about three years ago but
was over 15 years in the making. The concept of creating high
quality projects out of fabric that incorporates special photos
has been a dream of Vicki Shetter. Recent changes in technology
have made Soft Scrap® possible. The explosion of digital
photography plus the development of fabrics that work with ink
jet printers makes it possible to create high quality transfer
of photos to fabric at home.
