Please bare with me>I don't know if I showed this before as my memory is affected by chemo and possibly radiation. I finished this project--a tissue box cover on plastic canvas. I was going to enter in our county fair but had to miss due to surgery. I apologize if I've posted it--I don't think I did.

Thanks for posting. Have not seen this before. Love the “old” projects, hope more people will show them.

You bring back memories of my mother doing this years ago. Beautiful and useful at the same time.

This is a very old pattern. I kind of wished I'd have used all white like my friend did. It would look more like hobnail design then but picked this first thing out of my stash. I am finding more and more that old things/projects become new again with these young ladies coming along in the sewing field. I guess that is why I keep all my old clothes, lol.

Suzanna, thank you. Radiation wasn't too terribly bad. I felt like I was driving to the medical center Mon-Fri in a job without getting paid for it---well hoping the radiation will pay off in the end. Will start back to chemo Dec 7th.

Nicely done. If you have forgotten you posted or not we may have forgotten if we've seen it or not, -lol-so don't feel bad. Pretty variegated greens.

Thanks Toogie--I decided I best get it out and work on it again. I was reading so much at night and decided I needed to get this back out to finish it.

Nice tissue box cover. I have made a few plastic canvas covers and they are fun to make, for a change of pace. Because it is stiff plastic, they fit quite well over tissue boxes, without collapsing or bunching up. Lovely green and white pattern. Well done.
