Maze with small marble in it.
The design fitted a 200x240 mm hoop. It is made from the back of a leg of a pair of discarded jeans. I did not particularly like the bee, so I digitised a small butterfly for the next one, for which I'll use the other trouser-leg.

I'll have my grands play with them at a family gathering next Saturday and see what they think of them. It might keep them entertained between cakes, fingerfood and adult conversation. The jeans have been washed so often in their former life that they won't mind getting soiled and laundered.

Thank you, that was my idea as well - made one for my GD who is coming over for a few days, by plane.

64451Oh, this looks great, Martine. Does the marble travel well in the denim? The colors are so bright and cheerful. I have to learn how to use my giga hoop for these larger designs. It would make a nice marble maze for smaller children's fingers...

Thanks. The (small) marble travels well. I had only one of that size, so for the second one I sewed to shirt buttons together and the flat shapes is even easier to push through the channels.

Thanks. No, I did not think of a magnet and I don't know if it's a slick method to use in a car or something like that (nothing that can be dropped in case of the marble).
299559Nice one, Martine. I rather like the bee but I think he might need some legs.

Yes, I thought so to, and added some. But the shape of the body still needs some adjusting.

Dank je. Een grote ring is inderdaad een plezierig bezit, hoewel ik meestal kleinere borduurseld gebruik.
