Why do quilters need chocolates ? or New uses for empty boxes.
The chocolate lady bugs are trying to find a home in the empty Christmas chocolate box. They are out of luck I got there first. All quilters save useful boxes. Those that used to contain chocolates are particularly welcome if I got to eat the chockies Yumm.
This box now holds the cut strips for a fence rail blocks which are part of a Featherweight Challenge
by Natima at Notjustnat. I am using scraps from a clean out. Some pieces are just too small to keep. The cut size of each strip is 1 1/2"x 6". Anything smaller was sent to the paddock. translate bin.
The fabric scraps were saved from quilts and garment construction any cotton was hoarded in the early days. The stars are off cuts from a pair of shorts made in year 8 textiles by my DD in the 80's.
