In the Pink

The color of the month at Rainbow Scrap Challenge is pink. I took an hour this week to play with my pink scraps as I could actually FIND my pink scraps! I made a dresden
and with the trimmings from the blade,  sewed together a flower
For fun I placed a turned-edge green stem and a purple heart on it. Of course after stitching the angled bits it was uneven so I quickly went along the outside with my pinking sheers.

Can't throw away anything so the cut offs from this
went into these, and I actually might not like the flowers better than the dresdens!
obviously I did the same with the yellow dresden cut offs. So pretty... wonder if they might go with my  practice painted birds into something??? For now they decorate the design wall

I can't believe what you did there! So cool. I love dresdens but those flowers are a great new idea.

Love your little Dresdens! Do you use a special ruler to cut the blades? Making the flowers with the leftover pieces is such a fun, creative idea, too!

Mari said...

Love the Dresdens! And the flowers look so happy, too. Why wouldn't they go with the birds? Seems right to me! :)
