Floss Frenzy Challenge – Revealed!

March 1, 2015 2 Comments

I’m so excited! The entire Floss Frenzy adventure has been so much fun: getting the floss, figuring out what to do with it, and then … receiving all the pictures of your wonderful projects. What a joy!!! (if anyone is new to the blog, click here for the original post)

To begin this post I’d like to share “my challenge project”. I cross stitched a cover for my Iphone. I’d seen something like it on Pinterest and felt it was a great use for embroidery floss!

The base was purchased on Amazon.com and it was fun to cross stitch through the silicone (there were perforations for the stitches). It must be an Amish iPhone case because I didn’t cross one of the stitches, proving only God is perfect (LOL – can you find it?)

The problem is that the case didn’t fit my phone as tightly as I’d like, so I gifted it to my friend Maria – who was thrilled! I enjoyed making it and I’m glad it found a good home.

Maria and phone1After issuing the challenge I realized that I still had way more floss than I could ever use, so I sent an email out to the missionaries my church supports, asking if they could use it in their ministries, and quite a few of them responded. It’s been fun to see how far the floss is traveling and to hear about the crafts it’s being used for in Peru, Mexico, Estonia, Sweden and even Micronesia!

So now – it’s time for the challenge. Please remember that most all of the floss “three packs” were chosen at random by me – and please only vote once 🙂 .
