I tipped my scrap bag upside down and sent the contents spewing onto the craft room floor on Tuesday afternoon. I sorted the scraps into piles according to colour and in there I also came across a few pieces of doily. It struck me immediately to do something with them for the brooch swap.
I have cut off a little piece of edging and machine stitched it down to navy blue cotton with a bit of trim along the cut edge. I'm really like it so far, but I do have to sort out how this is going to become a structural brooch, and what shape! I think a full circle is going to be too big, so maybe a half circle? Must find that thinking cap and put it on for a while this afternoon.
You can find more creative spaces over here.
I really like the contrast of pale doily against the dark navy - looking forward to seeing it when it's finished!
