Scraps, continued

I am not doing anything earth-shattering.  Just continuing to piece together scraps.

I am making a quilt up as I go along.  This is where the design stands so far.


 I am also in the thinking stages of felting the tapestry yarn I inherited.  Not sure how or what to do with it.

 But in the meantime, I still have scraps to process.  It's pretty mindless so I'm OK with it for now.

I did, however, "invent" a thread cutter.  I see on youtube that when sewers chain piece, they have a thread cutter to snip the threads instead of scissors.  I saw a great one which uses dull rotary cutter blades.  But I had a small cutter for embroidery which can be worn as a pendant.  I bought it when I was doing air travel and couldn't take scissors.  I found that if I put the pointy end into a spool of thread so the blade part is facing up, I can use it to cut the chain piecing threads.  Yay me.
