ScrapHappy Saturday~ Last Saturday of November

I linking my meager finishes with Angela at SoScrappy's ScrapHappy Saturday. We are away from home, so no machine sewing is happening. Some hand work has been done. I brought way too many scraps!

Dark Neutrals and Table Scraps Challenge for November. 

I gave some thought to portable, scrappy dark.  A mug mat came to mind. I have been wanting to do a Kawandi project after watching Linda's beautiful ones. Here is a link to her post about her first attempt.

Already hers are miles above my meager stitching. Maybe the dark fabrics isn't the way to go, to be true attempts at the Kawandi style. After all the Siddi women have fabulous, beautifully colorful fabrics to work with. But it does hide my inconsistent stitches. 

I’m using up small lengths of old embroidery floss, 2 strands, some darning cotton from my mom’s stash- 2 strands. Just winging it and learning as I go. 

For those of you who did not see this on a previous post, I did finish this seasonal table runner. 

It might benefit from some additional quilting in the center of the stars.  I wonder if I could do a big stitch outline ?

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful!
