HOW TO USE UP SAMPLES

I used to live in a house with a ghastly 70s fireplace which we had removed, leaving a large blank wall, so I dug around for all the bits and pieces I had accumulated over the years, made a few new ones and attached them to a piece of fabric I'd meant to do something with several years ago.

The hanging now occupies another blank wall-space and measures about 1.25m by 1.45m.  The sides of the squares are 12cm.

Here are three of the samples:

 Beaded and machine-embroidered handmade felt.

 A design from Stitch magazine  - appliqué, machine-stitching and sequins.

Hand-stitching on silk-painted fabric.
