What my ends of thread do......... 17/25 motif challenge


 Hi,

Have you ever wondered what us tatters do with bits of thread thats left over,
Well this is to prove that crafters waste nothing, well very little.
Do you remember some time ago I showed you the above middle of a snowflake, it went a bit wrong and this is what finished up with, it looked a bit like a flower,  well here it is on a card yes it made a flower center and I added a butterfly in the corner.
These are all cards I made using up my bits of thread, that were big enough to make a butterfly,   I tend to make them to finish up the thread on the shuttles and put them in a little bag and then use them up on cards, when I need a few on my table.
The backing papers are all free from magazines and I finished them off with peel off edgings.
All are made using Lizbeth threads.
Any small threads  too small to make a butterfly or something are kept in another bag for the antennas of butterflies or to hang snowflakes etc.
I try not to waste but of course tiny bits well they see the bin.






I hope you have a lovely weekend, and the weather is better than last weekend.
                      Hugs
                  Margaret

  7. Yes I would love to try the 24 days till Christmas. Have a question, do you pick your own patterns and just post one a day, till Christmas (starting on December 1st)? Or do you have a certain set of patterns you do? also that book is an odd one it is small and the patterns are explained well but the lady never blocked or ironed the flakes and most are so not attractive and that makes it hard to pick out ones to make.
