Couldn't find the piece I planned on finishing......

but I did make this instead

Attachment {!-- ia1 -->PB030958.JPG{!-- ia1 --> not found

A pouch for my tablet to travel in. Earlier this year I decided to do a variation on Bonnie Hunter's crumb piecing and cut myself a load of scrap paper into 2.5" strips and started to cover them with scraps from my dedicated scrap box (after organising said scrap box - you know, put all the scraps in one place instead of lots of separate ones

) Then last week I decided that I actually wanted to make something for the fun of it (I have been remarkably unproductive this summer) The inside is a piece cut from a workshop fmq sample/scrap and the outside is strips of crumbs. I am vaguely considering adding some clamshell hand quilting, which could get interesting trying to do, but don't hold me to it

ritzy OFFLINE Posts: 2963 Thank you received: 82	The blue and green pieces are knitted and were meant to be a scarf and shawl. So, I didn't want them to be stiff. The snowflakes are crocheted and are stiff so they can hang on a Christmas tree without wilting.

loise98 OFFLINE Posts: 2932 Thank you received: 267	Ritzy, I am sorry your projects didn't turn out to your satisfaction. How were they intended to be used? The snowflakes are lovely. Are they crocheted or tated? My mother did some crochet work and often used starch when she blocked the work. Maybe you don't want the finished product to be stiff.

crocus999 OFFLINE Posts: 1909 Thank you received: 149	Ritzy, They are beautiful. Wouldn't they be used kinda scrunched up, anyways, so who cares (except you) that they de-blocked? I love the snow flakes, oh, and you can tat? Wow-eee!
