“Play every day and enjoy it to the fullest. Jump into everything with unabashed enthusiasm and a passion for what you’re doing. Don’t worry about what anybody else thinks; as long as you’re happy and having fun, that truly is the only thing that matters. And no matter what, always be open to new adventures, new ideas, and new challenges”. – Schnibbles Designer, Carrie Nelsonschnibbles-book-times-two.jpg

Heirloom Creations is excited to announce the Schnibbles Contest. Inspired by the new book “Schnibbles Times Two”, by Carrie Nelson, designer for the Miss Rosie’s Quilt Company, the Schnibbles Contest offers wonderful prizes just for making a quilt!

What is a Schnibble?

Schnibble noun  A scrap of fabric; a leftover bit of cloth; a small piece.  The word has a German origin and is found primarily in German settlements in the Midwest.

The new book “Schnibbles Times Two” offers 13 patterns, each in two different sizes – a Schnibbles size and a bed quilt size. A traditional Schnibbles quilt is approximately 30” x 30” … a perfect weekend or retreat project! Using either 5” or 10” squares, Schnibbles quilts look great in scrappy color ways.
