He's not very much into colours except when he wears his cousin's hand-me-downs! Then we see him a mile away :-)Andree G.

I really would love to make a bookmark - that sounds like something that could be fun. I don't think that my son will make his quilt....since I'm the one who's currently (not) working on it! At least he's there to help me with the math.Andree G.

The occasional embellishment, a couple of christmas decorations and a bookmark, that's all I've ever had the patience for.

I've been tempted to try some of those commercial lace embroidery designs but haven't gotten around to it yet. Your tumblers, on the other hand, are making me feel guilty -- they remind me that I have a tumbler quilt top that my mother pieced a year ago that I promised to quilt and donate to my guild's Outreach committee. Whoops! Finally, I LOVE that your son wanted to learn to make his own mask! My teenage sons only went so far as to select and approve fabrics for masks that they would be willing to wear. Stay safe and have fun with all these projects!Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214091162157757315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891791406203329867.post-8465096940985528772020-04-16T20:26:57.019-04:002020-04-16T20:26:57.019-04:00Hi Susan, yes it is!

I love working with scraps. In this post, you'll see that there is a burgundy fabric that is made into a mask and is also at the top of my tumbler fabrics. That one was from my mother's stash :-) Andree G.

I've enjoyed making the lace but it sure is time and thread heavy! My son is always up to learning anything that will make him self sufficient.

You are using a nice variety of scraps and isn't it nice to be using some of those up? I'll bet you are enjoying seeing some of them and remembering what project they were from originally.
