The Challenge

A few weeks back,
two friends and I got together
for an evening of pizza, wine and lots of chat.
We call ourselves
"The Strawberry Tarts" :)
Don't ask - it's a long story :)
Anyway,
one of the tarts brought along
a little parcel
of goodies for each of us,
and set the challenge.
We had until the next ''meeting''
to make something using the contents
of the parcel.
 
Here's what we got ...
 
 
...gorgeous hand dyed wool blanket,
velvet, laces...
 
 
... trims...
 
 
...a fabulous big button
and a very special printed piece.
 
And this is what I've done ...
 
 
... well, its what I've done so far :)
I've just placed the dyed woollen blanket piece
onto a backing of linen,
and tonight I begin to stitch:)
We meet on Wednesday
so best I get cracking.
I may need chocolate
and a glass of wine
to help with the creative process :)
See you
Jenny
