I spent a little bit of happy, crafting time making cards for friends and family this week.
The above is the flowery collage I made for my much younger sister!
Below is the little seascape that I made for a friend who loves the Isle of Man.
They are just made from tiny scraps from my fabric stash.
I have drawers full of colour sorted fabric and it's fun just to dip in and use some of it.
I use Bondaweb to secure the fabric to the backing piece and then machine in place.
A few hand stitches here and there and that's it. Probably an afternoon's work though.
My latest twiddler is intended as a Halloween themed one but, of course, I can't make them scary, so I went for a suitable colour scheme, pumpkin face, cats, buttons etc and a few twiddly knitty/crochet bits.
Hopefully, I am meeting up with Sarah B at Tilly's workshop in Shrewsbury on Friday - really looking forward to it.
Have a good week all.

I really loved my card Jo and I’m sure Roz will love hers too. The latest twiddler is perfect.

So looking forward to Friday and seeing you at the workshop Jo. The latest twiddler is great and those cards are amazing. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #5
ReplyDeleteThe little fabric scenes are wonderful, you have such patience piecing all the scraps together with that flair you have! Likewise with he twiddlers, it’s the care and thought that goes into each one that makes it so special. Hope you have a lovely time on Friday, give Sarah a big old socially distanced hug from me!

I am loving your fabric cards but they make me feel guilty as I hardly do any sewing now but a change is as good as a rest so they say. Loving the Halloween Twiddler too. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x15x

ReplyDeleteLovely cards, Jo, and they will be enjoyed by the people who receive them.Enjoy your meet up with Sarah B and the workshop.💕
ReplyDeleteYour cards are beautiful and a lovely way to use up the tiniest scraps too. Very inspirational. I have a box of scraps that could be put to good use. I just need to find my lost mojo. I'm always impressed with your twiddle muffs - your designs are spot on. Enjoy your time with Sarah B at the workshop. Hugs, Ellie x #23

Oh what a marvellous way to use fabric scraps, I love the way you say how you do it…’and that’s it really’. I think you’re making it look simple. I know the pleasure of an afternoon spent making lovely stuff, I hope you can fit a few more into your busy weeks!
