Sorry, I am a little late with this, been away on vacation. I wanted to see what would happen if you kept cutting and sewing, cutting and sewing, etc. So I made a string block with only black and whites, cut it and resewed about 6 times, and this is how it turned out. Only thing is it is very thick, but will make a great mug rug or coaster without a liner.

Beauty from Ashes is what Julie has chosen for the next challenge. The challenges will be over 3 months from now on. This one will be due 30th April. Delia

Marian  has asked me to post her challenge. I love the palm trees. I simply drew the very simple palm trees onto black fabric with bondaweb ironed on.........On white fabric I simply stitched a black line for the horizon and some stitching for the water. I then added some black tulle to five the impression of water. This piece only took a few hours to lcomplete. The second piece was my attempt to make a black and white landscape using just a little red. It didnt turn out great.....but I learnt from it.

Hi Girls I have asked Julie to set the next challenge. Delia I am sorry it is a couple of days late. Do you agree if we make this challenges 3 months not two? If so it will be due on the 1st May. Delia

Sorry I am late posting. I just forgot the dates.  This is my black and white challenge. It is a queen size quilt. I made it with the fat quarters I was given in a black and white swap a few years ago. I added the bit of red to give it life. I also make this centre with some of the scraps that were over. This was fun making. Keep stitching Delia

I'm sorry this is so late. I was in Europe from mid Nov. to the beginning of Dec. & in Mexico in Jan. It's a wall hanging done with machine embroidery (Kimono Art by M'Liss Rae Hawley). The hanging is done in cotton with a silk border. The thread is Sulky.
