The Scrap Basket 2024 Top 10

It's always interesting to peruse the "Worth A Read" sections of this year's The Scrap Basket newsletters and see what really resonated with folks. Gathering potential links throughout the weeks prior to an issue, I include anything and everything that I think would be of interest to creatives. Mostly articles of interest to quilters, this year's top 10 also include some timely topics - repurposing, AI, and dealing with a scarcity mindset. In case you missed them, enjoy perusing them now.
