Having a Christmas in July at Theodora Cleave

 A friend that I have not seen for a while dropped in

 yesterday, so I was showing her some of the fabric painting, painting on water colour and some buttons ...

I had done in recent times.

So when I look at this collage it reminds me of a Christmas in July ......fabric for stockings, gift bags, tree decorations,

Painted little puddingds, holly .....trees

Stitch all this and add Santas & snowmans .....

Santa wooden buttons in my design add a lot to a sampler or even a cloth tag with a small word stitched, felt cut out and stitched ....keep stitching away for ages in cold nights.....

Then you will have lots to sell at a Christmas Market, or hang off friends & family gifts, tie to the tree or trees...

Little boxes ties with a felt small motive or one cut out from a paper painting thing.
