I painted the fabric to tone down the orange and yellow. After cutting out the images I played with them to find an arrangement I liked. The remaining fabric got cut up and then joined back together to make a foundation. After machine and hand embroidery, I lightly quilted the fabric. The grey wool made a great edge trim. The beads and green wire became hangars. I had some lovely King Tut variegated threads in my stash, some cotton batik and green sheer fabric to add. Those little gold stars were a puzzle but I ended up using them to secure the hangers on the back. The bit of green ribbon edged the label! I fulfilled all the requirements of the task. Whew. Lots of fun and a stretch of my creativity.

Maureen, I think you exceeded the challenge, because not only did you use all of the materials, but your piece is beautiful. Great job.
