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.

hmmmmmmm. And when is our "deadline?"
And how, dear ladies, did Bev in Texas and Sue in UK get your heads together??? Huh? Huh? I knew you were both amazing ladies - but that is quite a feat!

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

I 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!

Ok 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.
