Scrap Happy February 2023

everything is scrappy this month

the hundred day challenge is 1/4 of the way finished

15 minutes for five days – each page is 1 hour, 15 minutes

this is page 5 – that’s 6 hours, 15 minutes of scrappy stitching so far

the main fabric is a heavy cotton drapery material left over from my interior designer days

trying something new to me, I backed it with a lightweight quilt batting and just back stitched on the pattern lines

it was slow going but I like the results

there is still more fabric but it is only 6inches wide – Rosie’s summer dress was made with it

now I’m wondering if it was joined with plain colour strips could I make a quilt for the bears?

but, back to the start of page 6

there’s that same fabric again – I’m determined to use it up

and of course, it’s Valentines day – the heart on the right is tiny scraps of shibori dyed wool felt stitched together

broken hearts can be mended but they are never the same!

I got the idea when making the hunny pot for the bears book (click on the picture below) more shibori dyed felt

I found stitching for only 15 minutes frustrating and not wanting to break the time rules continued stitching  on another project  – a small book for the bears is underway

the pages are 4″X4.5″ and the scraps are getting smaller and smaller
