Scraps and Strings: Cobwebs in my house

Cobwebs in my house

Actually, they're just on my wall. I'm still laying low on the housework front, and I'm sure there's real cobwebs growing somewhere, but today I don't care. I'm having fun making these, especially since I can play with new scraps.
Below left are the six new ones I've made so far, to add to the 21 I already had. I'm aiming for 36, and I have lots of strings left in the bin. funny how this doesn't seem to make a dent in the string bin.

I have trouble with the scrap bag muliplying too. I think when we fluff it up to find the next string it makes it look fuller. But if we had all of those pieces neatly folded and in piles we wouldn't want to disturb them.; 22 December 2009 at 17:13

I'm made 80 copies of the pattern for string/paper piecing - I have NO IDEA when I can get one done, but I'm ready when the mood strikes. Thanks for YOUR inspiration!!!; 22 December 2009 at 22:12

Marit said...: So lovely! I love how you used the reds to frame the cobwebs. And the use of red gives it a relaxed christmas feel, too.
