Now I can share a couple of photos of gifts that I made for Christmas. This one is a hopscotch mat that I made for my granddaughter. I've been wanting to make one of these for years and I finally did. I'm happy to say that all of the fabric came from my stash, as well as the batting and thread - I didn't have to go purchase anything (thanks to Gini who gave me 7 yards of golf ball fabric, which I used for the back and the bag to store the mat in :)
Hopscotch was one of my very favorite games as a child in elementary school and I have to say I was quite good at it! It's been fun to teach my granddaughter how to play this week - she's getting quite good at it too! I made the bean bags to use as "markers" to toss into the squares, but I remember I had a very special chain that I used because it landed right where I wanted it to and stayed put - a big part of my hopscotch success! 😊
