Good and iffy

Good: The tiny background quilts for the Polly series of collages, all ready for binding. (By tiny, I mean 4.25" x 7.5".)


Iffy: The Christmas ornaments. Cotton just doesn't want to fluff. I'm going with them anyway, but next time I'll use knits. Does that mean I now have to make Addie a knit wardrobe? Maybe I'll hit the remnant table instead.

They're gorgeous even sans the fluff factor! Thanks for the mention on Craft Gossip today. I've only just realized you have a separate blog - yes...I'm a bit slow.

G'day Denise,
These are just so adorable ... while in my slumbers early this morning it hit me that this idea would be a great embellishment for aprons I have in mind. Hope you don't mind if I pick your brain a bit about this???
I'm thinking hearts - larger OK about 4" to 6" in height, but do you think I would need to cut them a certain way to make them fluff more as I will be using cotton fabric too.
Also do you just put them in the washer or into a little underwear bag - I'm thinking how do you get all the little threads out of your washer ... yes my slumbers were a bit disturbed ... ha ha
Even if you can steer me in a direction to find answers to these questions I'd be most thankful ... OOroo ... Bethel of Bethania
