Recycle - upcycle - the possibilities are endless! Greysewist gave me this idea. I digitiesed an outline design just a bit bigger than a CD. For this example, I stitched the text on felt with the outline, then removed from the machine and fixed an old CD in place under the circle, plus a second piece of felt. Back in the machine for a final outline. I did digitise a satin stitch final outline but didn't use this on the felt. I think any test stitch could be turned into something useful like this. They could be strung together vertically or as a banner for instance. I think mine will be a (rather large) fridge magnet.

Nice one. I used to do that with small ones I got as samples for CD collections - those were a nice size for Christmas decorations.

Like your idea of using a CD to firm up the shape.

LOL Sue do you mean hot flashes?
I do like the green it makes it stand out.

We do call them hot flushes here in Australia. I guess because they seem to spread from one end to the other much like that other 'flush', LOL

It looks great! I'll credit my friend Lynn for the CD idea. She made the Tuit that's on my 'fridge. We also did a (large)coaster at a sewing retreat with a CD inside. We did the satin stitch in 2 stages, so we'd sew around half way, add the CD, then finish it off. It made me a little nervous until I tried it!

Thank her for me (and the rest of us) In this design the cd is secured with a single stitch outline then the satin stitch is optional.
