In an effort to use up some stash, I decided to make a little table mat that would have a "fall" feeling. In a grab bag of fabric that was labeled as neutrals, I received a couple of pieces from a collection of fabric that is supposed to look like a sampler of needlework. These are not fabrics that I would choose to use for anything. However, they were here, the colors are ok and I wanted to use what I had. This may have been a complete waste of time as I really do not like the outcome. Maybe after I quilt it I will be able to stand it but right now - ick! I will probably practice some free motion feathers in the border and practice is always a good thing.
If it turns out less hideous than I think at this point, I may post a photo. If not, it may become a mat under the cat's bowl. She isn't terribly picky!
I think I must have a different idea from some about "stash." I tend to just add to it and not want to use it up!
ReplyDeleteI noticed that your To Do list has a Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. I'd like to hear more about that one. Do you go there? We go every summer to Hatteras Village and I am collecting fabrics to someday do a beach themed quilt that might have some photos from our visits there.

My mum always has my 'practise pieces'. Her house is filled with my imperfections but she loves them.
