I've been working at eliminating ALL my leftovers, still.
The pile is shrinking.
And, my stack of String Placemats/Tabletoppers is growing
Here are six more.
The Thimbleberries scraps are mine,
the colorful are a mix of mine and given to me.
Fat Quarters that need to be gone were used on the reverse.

Keep on 20-minuting!

ReplyDelete"No more difficult that sewing a seam ! ! !"...
Ger, you are a dear!
I'm laughing and coughing, spluttering, coughing and laughing!
Once you DO know how to sew, I'm sure there's NO difficulty 'tall!
(and I do have lots scraps, and pieces of fabric... I LOVE fabric, even if don't know what to do with them... yet!)
I do have a secret project, secret from my Mom as of yet, that she teach me how to use, and then lend me, her warhorse Singer.
I remember, way back in the mists of time, using and that it was able to go nice and S L O W...
