I had a few hours of 'me time' this afternoon, and I have a hundred and one (at least) projects I could (should?) be working on, but none of them really appealed.
I sat at the work bench and thunked, and my mojo came just when I needed it
I cut up a piece of cream loose weave fabric, into 1.5 inch squares, and pulled a few threads from each side. I then gathered up a whole load of cream coloured treasures from the sewing room, and started sewing them onto the squares:
Buttons
Ribbons and lace
Motifs, Suffolk puffs, and beads
And tapes with words on them
And they currently look like this.
I'm hoping I can find a frame for them. I'm calling them inchies, although they are 50% bigger than inchies!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Gorgeous!
