Good morning all.
Here we are again sharing our crafty activity for the week.
I have had a few spare hours so I have been busy in my craft room for a change.
Unusually for me, I began making my Christmas cards nice and early. I fancied doing a bit of fabric collage.
I made several background pieces made with strips of fabric Bondawebbed onto a piece of white satin
Then I created little fabric poinsettia and holly leaves and berries.
Each one is different and I really enjoyed making them.
Then, my friend asked if I could make a little Christmas placemats. Out came my scraps of Christmas fabric to create a little patchwork with a collage beside it. Cute isn't it. I put a red spotty border and backing on it
Sadly, I forgot to take photo of the finished mat.
I have more fabric now to create another one for a little boy. Maybe a little elf collage for this one.
This week I will be edging bookmarks and making up workshop packs for Tilly Tea Dance. Hopefully folks will get their orders in to her early so that she can get them posted out before the Christmas rush. She has a well stocked Etsy shop at the moment.

Well that's me for this week.
Have a good week all.

You are putting me to shame with those lovely collage cards and festive placemats, they look so pretty!! I must pull my finger out and get some cards made, it’s been full-on angels here (if you know what I mean!)
Good luck with the Tilly outsourcing, hope you fly through it!

That sounds like a fun way to make cards. Hope you manage to get sorted and Tilly gets everything sent out quickly but you can bet there will always be something last minute. Wishing you a very happy and productive woyww. Hugs Angela x11x

What a great use for all the little leftover scraps! The makings of the mats look good, too bad we can't them finished! I always kick myself when I send something off without taking a photo! Have a great week, Lindart #14
