I'm happy to say that I finished the last of my month's projects - the small cross stitch piece. I changed some of the colors and kept the backstitch to just outlining. The flower centers were filled with either a button or bead. I would have loved to have been able to center the top and bottom border, but I was using a scrap of a strip and this was just enough (1.2" left over). Even the side border with the cute flower pots was a left over strip I found in the strip tote. The black skinny border and binding - scraps. Batting scraps (I use two layers) and backing of course is scrap. Finished size is 10" square.
Then I got the last of the stitches done in the Stone Soup Challenge. Scraps sent to me by 5 other quilters plus a few of my SIL's and mine that were sitting on the side table to be cut down into my barrel system. My tutorial for these blocks can be found HERE.
I used all of the left over fabrics to piece the back and the label is added in the one row. There is a piece of fabric from each 'donor' in the back. Thank you Dawn for putting this challenge together.
Hmm, two more days left in the month - what trouble can I get into?
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon
