This is a square of firm woven cotton that I've drawn up into sections. It's my 'rainbow square'. I'm not entirely sure how the final product will look, as I'll be stitching and embellishing as I go along.
I'm hoping to make this into a small parcel needlecase, similar to one done by a friend and fellow blogger. You can view her version on her blog:

This photo shows the colour after I've painted/dried the fabric. I've used textile medium/water in a 1:2 ratio, and ironed the fabric after drying. Now, here's hoping it looks the part...............

Linda, I love the colours on this. I look forward to seeing the finished item. Are you using some wadding or stiffening? This is such a fun challenge.
Looking good Linda, i love Dian's x
Thanks girls. I've done quite a bit to it today, and am quite happy with it, although it is not quite finished. Dian, it has been stiffened with medium fusible vilene, then pellon, then shapewell prior to stitching. Hubby absolutely loves it. I NEED a square red button, which I hope I'll be able to purchase tomorrow, otherwise, a round one will have to do........... Can't wait to complete this, so excited about it.
I'll come back and see the finnished project, looking good so far!
