..beginning a "Narrow Cloth"...

Postie has delivered some delightful packages in recent times...

....gifts from lovely Bloggers....


The first to arrive was sent by Jude Hill at Spirit Cloth..

and contained these beautiful pieces of cloth...





...and some tasselled edges and threads too...



The second arrival was from Jackie at Stitchworks...

..who sent some gorgeous printed fabrics and a delightful little book covered in hand printed paper...



A BIG THANKS to both ladies!! :-)

All the fabric pieces seem to have been just made for the Moroccan theme I'm working on at the minute...

...and I've decided to use some of them to make a "Narrow Cloth".



I've pinned out the pieces onto a backing of turban cotton, and put one layer of cotton voile in between...

...don't want it to be too stiff...

Probably some of the strips will have painting, drawing, and printing on.....

...as well as stitch....



I'll let it become what it wants to.............
