Ms Freshface and I went to IKEA last weekend; this plastic frame was one of the little items I tossed into my big plastic yellow bag as we moved through the IKEA marketplace. Cost ? approximately $1.99 (I think). I noticed it was possible to display something on both sides (!)....
I didn't attend a 'Sewing Day' (or SEW IN as I call them) with
other guild members on Saturday. Instead I stayed home to catch up on
laundry... blah, blah, blah.... All the same, I did get some sewing
projects done as well as 'played' with some ideas. So this was my idea; what could I put into this plastic IKEA frame, besides photos?!
Here is what I came up with...... a tiny (4") 'orphan' block, a double hourglass block that I added some lovely selvages to the top and bottom -
and the other side of the display has a scrap piece of fabric with the
little tag that came with my 'Recipe for Friendship' layer cake. This
tag was so pretty that I hung onto it. Now it has a new way to hang out
in my sewing room. I have just realized that framed 'artful'
arrangements of salvages plus fabric would be perfect additions to the
walls of my sewing room!
