One of the groups of churches I help with has a social group for widows called COWs - Companions On the Wolds and although I am not a widow, I tag along as a chaplain. Not much pastoring is needed from me as these lovely ladies take the newly bereaved under their wings and do mutual caring, but still, I am useful to have around. They meet for coffee or light lunches, they have days out (the visit to the
International Bomber Command Centre was their idea, and sometimes they have crafty times. Yesterday they were being crafty. So was I! But not altogether successfully. To put it mildly!
I didn't get the sequencing of the strips quite right.
And I made the whole thing wrong way around.
Oops!
(I have ideas how to rescue it, don't worry. It will become a basket of flowers.)
I am hopeless at crafts! No matter if it is supposedly easy.I'm not at all sure what you did wrong here. Looks fine to me.
ReplyDeleteIf you look at the final picture you will see that the decoration is on the back of the card. Very definitely oops!
DeleteBut the paper piecing has been done perfectly. I'm sure you can rescue it
ReplyDeleteI shall cut the back from the front of the card, remount the design and border on a new card and make some paper flowers to go in the basket. I'd planned the paper flowers anyway.
DeleteHad a go at that paper folding craft (iris folding?) once - hopeless!
ReplyDeleteYours looks very good and your rescue plan sounds perfect.
It's very fiddly, isn't it? The strip sequencing was wrong but the result is acceptable. Well, it will be when I've rescued it!
