Someone brought in their leftover bindings for the free table. I seemed to be the only one interested in sorting through them. They double folded a 2 inch strip of fabric. I use 2 inch strips for my binding and I like scrappy bindings. My first thought was to re-iron them and use the for binding. I pulled the black and cream and took them home. I experimented with the iron and decided they were not going to look good enough to suit me. So now, I have a lovely pile of strings for the garden.

I did take a minute to dye some dark blue for my Christmas in new England rug. I didn't want to continue hooking until I had more variety.

ReplyDeleteYou had a busy week on the stitching/rug hooking front. Lucky Stars is such fun. Hope this week is just as good on the productivity front.
ReplyDeleteStrips are great scraps for string blocks, and I'm sure you will find a way to use these bindings. Cute little embroidered birds, and I love the rich color of the dyed wool.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing!
