They’re all done and bagged ready to pop into my box for our annual retreat in August . ( good to be prepared) .
And I’m delighted to have given my dear friend Jan the huge box of scraps because she had fun sorting through them and was happy to take them home. I was happy to get rid of them..
I also decided to make a reading cushion as another “New Start” and used some of the Minon fabrics that were in my stash.
The back and the front made with 2 1/2” blocks.
Must away as I want to catch up on some Blog reading.
Happy Stitching 🧵
Hugs Maria 💖

ReplyDeleteI've been working on My Small world - and have a load of scraps in that box...maybe your friend needs to visit me too!
Reading pillows make great gifts or donations.
