ScrapHappy - March 2021

Welcome ome to ScrapHappy day....the day when a number of us post about what we've been making with our scraps.

Not a lot of scrappyness going on after being out of state for almost 6 weeks.  Only two projects for me this month.   First up 4 bowl cozies made from the leftover fabric from other projects.  The top left one even started with a square that was too small for a bowl cozy so I added a scrap strip of red around the outside of it so that I would have a big enough square for it.  One is a commission, two are for a gift, and the two color has no home yet.




And finally three fingertip towels made with sting pieced strips made from purple scraps that I'd sewn together years ago, and three finger-tip towels that were originally made to be cross-stitched on.   The towels came from some of the cross-stitch stuff I brought home from my mom's stash (well what I've gone thru to this point).   Have no idea where or who will get these at this point.

Your towels with piecework are very pretty, and a very nice blend of leftovers and scraps.

Heartfelt condolences on the loss of your Mom! It's lovely to be able to use bits and pieces from their stashes, isn't it? Quite comforting!

Pretty towels, and in your position I'd be keeping them, to remind me of her. I hope you're holding up OK in these troubled times, both physically and emotionally.

Those towels look fabulous, and of course the bowl cozies are great.

Those purple strips are lovely and good that you were able to incorporate some of your Mum's crafting stash.

Lovely creations. Purple can be a hard colour to use but it is one of my favourites.
