Today was Crafty Church day, and also World Earth Day
So we decided to look at recycling projects
I had my selvedge and denim quilt
Tara shared a lush necklace made from stretchy velvet.
Did you know that stretch velvet cut in one direction curls to show the inside, and a perpendicular cut encourages it to curl to show the outside
Worth knowing if you want to make a lush necklace!!
Tara cut several lengths about 1" wide, stretched then until there was no stretch left, joined the ends in one section and wrapped one length around the joints.
It makes an awesome necklace!
Lynne decided to recycle a badminton racket as a fun garden ornament for the autistic garden at the school where she works
Hope you are well and happy, and had a great WEDay
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
