ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
T his whole book-writing process has felt like one of those trust exercises where you stand with your eyes closed and allow yourself to free-fall backward.

FOREWORD
W ithin the first five minutes of meeting Melissa I knew we would become fast friends. She’s the sort of gal that exudes instant warmth and emits a soulful “I’ve known you forever” energy that’s hard to resist. We met at the International Quilt Market during show setup and quickly dove into deep conversations about the fabric and pattern business and about our personal lives. We both have so much in common, especially in creating crafty outlets for our design passions and finding more and more ways to connect with other people. One of the most beautiful things about Melissa is that she so freely opens her heart and stays in touch with that energy in everything she does. You’ll know what I mean when you start to dive into this fabulous book. You’ll feel like she’s right there with you. I’ve been enjoying our bond ever since Melissa and I first met. Our conversations run the gamut from family stuff to what’s cooking in the studio to “how’s your workout plan going this week”? Knowing someone like Melissa is a gift and a great reminder to stay grounded, relaxed, and in love with life.
I’m tickled to see Melissa create her first book in which she can share her unique point of view. You’ll get a delightful sense of her voice in every project. Her style is warm and approachable; you’ll feel instantly invited, welcome, and comfy. It’s not surprising that Melissa’s projects are just as free and refreshing as she is. Many match her witty sense of humor and others touch on her design eye, which is very sensitive. Leave it to Melissa to work with a fat quarter and make us feel like we’re sewing with unlimited materials! True to form, she puts everything she has into what she creates, and she does so with complete style and ease. Small Stash Sewing is a real keeper for your book shelf — one you’ll enjoy using time and time again.
~ Amy Butler, huge “Melissa fan”
INTRODUCTION
W hen I was little, I had an awesome sticker collection. I snatched up anything that had a self-adhesive backing: the coveted Lisa Frank series, those oil ones that changed colors when you pushed them, scratch and sniff (strawberry, bubble gum, pickle! ), even the little “yes” and “no” stickers that sometimes came in the junk mail. I loved looking at my collection, but I was always afraid to use any of them in fear that I would regret it later. I thought I would waste or ruin the stickers if I did anything but admire them with their paper backing intact.
It’s not the eighties anymore, but until recently I still found myself hoarding and protecting my current obsession, fat quarters, in the same way I did back then. Whether the fabrics are from a new line that I have anxiously anticipated, or a fresh discovery in the towering fat quarter stacks at my local quilt shop, I would just look at my beautiful fabric collection and be paralyzed! What to do with this gorgeousness, this precious resource? My trepidation doubled when i
