Thriough my makes I have a lot of offcuts and fabric scraps, and I wanted to use them (zero waste aspiration). This little card is inspired by the art of patchwork to use up scraps, and the traditional use of embroidery to mend/darn as well as decorate clothes and functional items.

Full description
A lovely little fabric picture featuring a crazy patchwork of upcycled Welsh wool blanket pieces beautifully embellished with different decorative embroidery stitches. Securely attached to a folded card and supplied with a matching envelope for easy gifting, this picture can be displayed as it is, or popped into a little frame. A lovely little card for your Dad.
CHARITY DONATION - A donation of £1 will be made to Epilepsy Wales for each card sold, in memory of my sister.
To make these pictures I carefully patch together offcuts left over from making my wool hearts, using a foundation patchwork technique onto cotton canvas. I then hand cut each picture to size and hand sew it to a soft blue wool fabric, with different embroidery stitches linking the individual patches. Finally, I machine sew it to a little eco-friendly card.
As they are handmade from offcuts of upcycled and vintage blankets, each card is unique. This batch of cards includes scraps in blues, greens, reds, yellows and creams as indicated in the photos.
Size - 3 inches square (card size).
I also offer these pictures as kits to embroider yourself - see my "sewing craft kits" listings.
Designed by Sharon Lloyd in my attic sewing room in South Wales
