I am having a blast cutting into my new scrap stash from Karen Gray designs!
I started my first project, the scrappy log cabin posted by Pleasant Home for the Sew Scrap Along.
I isolated the pictures and cut out 17 center rectangles. Why 17? I don't know.
Then I pulled out the two floral scrap bundles and started working my way through them cutting random width strips.
I than chain stitched on the strips and cut apart.
I have a way to go yet.
As I am working through the bundles I am pulling out duplicate fabric and putting them in a bag. When its full-a small priority box worth-I may have to do a giveaway!
She wanted me to write a special note for her daughter as a surprise for a special school activity.
I thought "Yes! Ill make a fabric post card!"
I have been wanting to make one for a while.
So switching gears I cut out the pieces using the tutorial by Fabric Mom.
I then collaged using things I had. I think it turned out pretty great!
Keep dreaming...Colleen aka 'butterflygirl'
