Now the bedspread is done, I have been able to join in with the Creative Tuesdays challenge again. The theme for this time was "Dotty". I'm not known for my drawing skills, I don't have any, so it had to be something simple, and of course, had to use fabric.
The local fabric store didn't have a great range of polka dot material and this one was my favourite of what was available. I would have loved to have had purple polka dot fabric.
On some plain white fabric, I drew a simple flower and coloured it in using fabric crayons. I gave the petals spots too, to keep in with the theme. Once the colours had been fixed with the iron, I stitched the square to the polka dot fabric and then outlined it using white ricrac.
I then made it up into a cushion. I have enough fabric leftover to do something else, so I may do another cushion with a butterfly motif, or maybe even a bag. I can't do anything at the moment, I need to get some more white fabric.

Oh Jane I love it. I am so happy you decided to put an entry into CT. Mr. T will be so excited and I love the idea that seamstress and handicrafts can enter too. I haven't come up with my 'dotty' yet. I been sketching trying to come up with something. Love it
