.. 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

Love what you did with Mums cross stitch.
I am like you with the ironing 😁 great idea idea the bag I am sure your Mum would be most impressed and happy.
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!
