Scraps.Scraps and even more scraps!

First of all the mail! And yesterday's charity shop buys.

Two rolls of 10mtr Wadding from eBay found here


The charm pack I got in a yard sale from Susan at Colorado Lady, as well as some cute notecards



Pillow cases, sheets and perle cotton  from the charity shop.


Today was rather busy. I decided to get on with making the items for my swaps.



First of all I made a few blocks up using various scraps and colours oh and newspaper!



There are two of these

Then I put some plain fabric over the tops of the larger blocks and drew some circles, one for my Dresden and The other for smaller circles.



I stitched around those circles! -Which took a while to get used to turning the fabric!- and cut them out leaving a 1/4" edge






I cut a cross in the plain fabric, peeled off all the paper and then turned them the right way out






Then placed them randomly on the item intended. I just hope my partner likes it!


So that's all for today and yesterday!
If you haven't guessed already head on over to my Giveaway its open till the 21st so don't miss your chance! =D
