ITH Challenge for April.
Bev and I have had our heads together and this is the resulting challenge (if you choose to accept it!)1. Follow the link to download the basic design. You may use all or part of the design.
2. Add any other design of your choice from this site and use the combination to make an item in the hoop.
3. Post a picture in Projects.
Now, I can think of at least 4 different ways to use it and I'm sure that you can think of more still.
The design is in 3 sizes so all hoops are catered for! (No excuses then.)
Over to you.

360665Ok lets play.
apart from the obvious of quilt making why not do a large block and lay down a pattern on it, say of a tote, you can duplicate for the opposite side and cut out as normal fabric.
try a waistcoat, in fact anything that has a paper pattern can be used, then there are table runners and mats. toilet cistern covers sewing machine covers or anything that needs a cover for that matter.
children's toys are another goods thing to use them on, or doorstops,
How about book covers or E reader and I pad covers even a laptop could be protected by useing faux leather OOH just think of a nice shoulder bag done in faux leather or faux suede. why not fur.
will that tempt you to have a go at these.
use lightweight iron on interfacing with the sticky side face down in the hoop and the fabric face down on top of it,
this way when you turn the interfacing inside out to get those neat edges you can iron the hexagons down onto the sticky side to give a nice firm patch to work with, Done this way you can join them together with ease, I like to use a decorative stitch for that then lay the completed blocks down onto thin batting with muslin under it to stop it catching in the feed dogs and join with a in the ditch stitch.
Need more help then let me know.

145304Thanks for this, I will be using it, just can't post as my camera doesn't have a way to upload to the computer.
16707I switch off and go to bed and find three projects already posted when I switch on again! Well done everyone - two of the three ideas were not on my mental list.
I digitised the large version when I wanted a quick potholder and didn't want to faff with binding!

15711The first 3 or 4 are obvious, now to think of a not so obvious one. I've got a couple of ideas which have to wait till tomorrow.
145304Thank you girls. This was fun. Uploaded mine in projects. Lyn. xx
7199Do we need to let you know that we are joining in or do we just posted what we have done? This sounds like fun.

Thanks for the offer. The idea of the challenge though is to encourage creativity not to use something that is already complete!
