Carter Smith Fabrics



Some of this I plan to sell in my store as an attempt to destash, there's about 50 pounds of silk scrap fabrics in this tub, no kidding! There are a few pieces, very small ones actually, that I plan to use in a quilt because they look like the horse head nebula in Orion. I may take a few of the fabric pieces and spin them into yarn.

Some Ideas

Ink painted cotton fabric ironed to fuse a shade, I think the size is approx 2.5 by 3.25 inches (ATC sized)

I stitched the edges using my machine and laid down a bed of organinc stitches using free motion stitching.

I then stitched a silk flower to the tag using my machine and couched down some scrap bits of acrylic yarn in complimenting colors.

This could easily be made into a book mark, post card, or other small gift item. To finish it off I will add some beads and a tassle made with scraps of yarn, ribbons and threads.
