A bunch of scrappy plants

I love free patchwork and I have a full box of scraps
So what would be nearer than making something out of them?
This is a first concept.
I don't throw away anything, every little scrap disappears in this box
and today was the moment and the decision made.
I want to create something of it.
I took a linen pillow case out of my stash and cut it in two parts.
I bought it years ago second-hand ---- a wonder of a find, for less than
an apple and an egg (as we say). Linen!
Now I am looking for lightish scraps to form a back ground

Oh gosh. A thread came out, too - it looks like a bird but it will not
play any role in this drama ----- after a few minutes it wasn't to be seen anymore.
The chaos is great in the beginning.
After reflecting quite some time and also at night I came to the conclusion
that it would be best to stick the fabric scraps to the background with this
special "Hi-Tech" (what a name) fabric glue - just a little bit so they won't move
when I go over them with the machine.

Like that. With a multi-coloured Madeira machine embroidery thread
which I love.
I hope you have as much fun as I.
