My first "what if" cloth is not white.

Having read and listened and watched magic cloth101 over the weekend in preparation for "what If" I felt the need to get stitching something.  It started off as a simple way to remind my fingers how to do applique but it has turned into something else, as so often happens.  Pale colours are not really my thing so  I am doing things a bit differently already.  I am thinking of writing some words at the top - sphere, planet, globe etc.

Not sure how I am going to get on with white on white but will give it a try.  I have an old table knapkin that I am thinking of using as the base and just let it roll from there!

A Closer View

Dee, from What If Diaries, said she would like to see some close-ups of my sampler, so here they are.  As you can see it is not finished and I am waiting for inspiration to strike as to what to do in the top section (my idea of words did not look good).
  I have spent much of today sorting out my workroom which is always a total tip.  I thought that as I am going to try to only use white for a while I would take the opportunity to tidy away  all the coloured fabric and thread that was scattered all over the room.  It worked out quite well, I rediscovered the carpet and in celebration I am going to hoover tomorrow!
