Leftovers
Yes leftovers but not of a food kind. I have been in finishing mode here. Doing cross stitch and stitchery pieces. This is a stitchery I had done when recovering from knee replacement. So went digging in my baskets, boxes and drawers to find inspiration to do a finish.
Well I found some baggies with leftovers in them! So decided which ones I
thought would work with the piece and begin to trim them up!
I decided to just sew up the strips and sew on no fancy corners.
Well in another lil bag found these small squares. They made nice cute prairie points!
I had a pilla in mind from the beginning but when I added the sweet fabric borders...nahhh.. was too big for my pilla needs.
So it became a wall hanging which I love! I will sew down the binding tonight watching TV with DH!

Next up is these cute eggs and chick blocks I found while digging!!!

Well, I like your kind of leftovers. I'm sure it feels good to have a finish too. Evening binding is the best entertainment too.
