Have Yourself a Scrappy Little Christmas....

Another easy and quick Christmas idea!

Make some fabric by layering pieces {scraps} of fabric and stitching it down around each edge.  Here I am using a variety of Japanese Cotton/Linen blends.  I stitched my scraps to a layer of Linen and Batting.   You could also use duck cloth instead of linen to give it more stiffness. Then I added another piece of fabric to the back after all the pieces were stitched down.  And then quilted the entire piece with close straight lines.

Gather some yarn, perle cotton, sparkly do-dads....

From your fabric, cut out a letter - an initial....I used letter cut-outs from the local educational supply shop...

String through a corner and add some fun baubles.....there you go....an easy Christmas ornament!

Of course, it is always better to give than to receive....BUT when you have wonderful and creative bloggy friends....sometimes you get to receive too!!!!

I am so lucky to have made some very special friendships....don't you love blogging?

   Thank you so much Suz......I **heart** you!!!

TGIF!!!!
