String-pieced bookmarks

First two postcards, top one features a piece of silk ribbon embroidery on denim that was given to me by a friend probably 20 yrs ago.  2nd one features embroidered roses salvaged from a way to big for me denim shirt that I cut up yrs ago.

These started with half of an old quilt label and an orphan block.   Yellow scraps, a wooden scrapbook word, and a bit of trim finished out that postcard.  The embroidered motif from a repurposed childs t-shirt and another scrapbooking piece finished out the second postcard.

Final two cards that were finished up.  Top card started with a stitched piece my mom made years ago.   I bordered it out with an orange scrap from the stash.  Size of the original piece meant that part of the lettering had to be penned in after stitching so that it could be read.

Bottom card started with a piece of fabric from a long ago backing.   Embellishments were the ribbon from a scissor fob kit I'd had for years but was never going to make and a scrap-booking mini saying.  

Final scrappy projects were these two totes made from a remnant of some home dec fabric.   One of them was just the fabric.   The second was decorated with a scrap left over from a commissioned quilt I made from cheerleader outfits this particular piece was a sleeve originally.  =)

Gratitudes:

1. For AC in these hot and humid summer days in Phoenix.

2. For the gift of the many friendships in my life.
