On Yahoo’s Carriage House Samplings group, there is a VERY informal SAL going on for CHS’ Alphabet Blocks. I decided I would stitch each letter as a pillow ornament. Thinking in a very biscornu fashion, I thought about what I’d stitch for the back of each cushion. I mentioned this onlist, and someone sensibly asked me why I decided to stitch the backs instead of using fabric. You know, like a normal person. *head desk* Oh, b/c it never ocurred to me. I don’t think I mentioned my lapse on the list, I think I smoothly covered with the idea that maybe I’d do some with stitching and some with fabric, I don’t know. I confess the truth to you now, though. Sometimes my brain plays tricks on me, and I fall for them!! Gullible, much? 😉
See, my big plan was to be random with the fronts and backs. Stitch each front and 26 backs. Put each in a separate bag, and pull them out to be stitched together, without planning a match for front A beforehand. I had a devil of a time completing the third back, though, and I’m not sure how far this over-the-top plan will go. Here is my current progress:
The real reason I got off my lazy unmotivated butt and put this image together for a post is because Monique nominated me for the Kreativ Blogger Award! Thank you, Monique!

Congrats on your award T! I like the bonus one you added 😉
I think stitching backs for them is brilliant! I’m just not sure if I could come up with that many. LOL!
You’re making lovely progress on your CHS piece, and I REALLY like what you’ve done with it, too! It is very “Kreative” – pun intended (congrats on the nomination!) =D
