Flowerpatch Silk Fabric Challenge

At the Flowerpatch Quilters exhibition we always have a sales table of secondhand books and magazines, and members also donate their unwanted fabric - all to be sold for charity. At the end of the 2018 exhibition there was a large quantity of lovely silk, suiting weight fabric, in a natural shade, and Sue decided that every member should have a piece, approximately 16" x 10", to make into something for the 2019 exhibition, which was a couple of weeks ago. What a lovely lot of diverse items were made.

Wall hangings of different shapes and sizes:

Numerous bags and pouches:

Cushions - big and small

More pouches, a box and picture frame:

A scarecrow

and a letter rack.

I know I've missed a couple of lovely items so apologies to the makers, and thank you to Sue for organising this challenge.

Finally, I must tell you "Ellen's Story". - 
Ellen had a large quantity of fabric for many years in her cupboard, and every so often she would take it out with the good intention of making something - only to change her mind and back it would go into the cupboard. Last exhibition she decided that enough was enough and she gave it to the fabric sales table to sell for the charity. At the end of the exhibition it hadn't been sold which was when Sue decided upon the challenge. Ellen was horrified to discover that she had to have a piece of the dreaded fabric back!! ...... "Oh no, I thought I'd seen the last of that!!"

Happy stitching
