DO YOU..

 .. remember the piece of fabric from Sandbach Quilt group? Well I collected some scraps ..


.. YES I ironed them .. so MUCH more fun than irong clothes! lol 


Then using stitch-and-flip I made my background..


( my design wall in this case .. was/is a cardboard box! lol )

NEXT time this project is on the programme I am guessing we will be discussing applique.. watch this space x

I was "in the mood" to continue SO, I started on a project that has been mulling around my head for a while. My mum was an avid counted cross stitcher .. and had several projects that she did not use for anything .. so, I have used one as the basis for a bag..


.. the "other" side was a continuation of the stitch-and-flip....


I ALWAYS imagine that I am going to use MANY MORE scraps of fabric than I actually do! The boxes are just as full! lol 

I am VERY happy with the results x ...... we all need more bags-for-life x Hopefully mum would approve of my way of using her work .. and keeping it in circulation x I will be looking out some more of her folded projects x

Hope inspiration strikes you also x 

By the way .. how did MAY creep up so fast!!?

Stay safe

I don't know how May arrived so quickly; but, I am enjoying the longer days! Your use of your mom's cross stitch work is brilliant! We all could use another bag!
