Years ago a friend left the country and gave me several bins of craft supplies that she no longer wanted. I've given away and used what I could yet still have much to get through.
There were lots of sheets of clear plastic canvas that I am finally putting to use by stitching a Palestinian motif, backing with felt and adding a small magnet.
It's also a good way of using up bits of leftover yarn from crochet projects.
The pattern I chose is from the digital library of Tirazain that's called qamar b reesh (moon with feathers).

I've stitched during mornings with my craft group, meet-ups with my friend Susanna, and even took supplies with me to Amman so I could stitch there -- where I even did a photo shoot with all the beautiful flowers found in the neighborhood around our hotel.
I've given some magnets as birthday gifts recently and snagged photos from my friends' Instagram stories since I forgot to take pictures before gifting them.
I stitched about 5 while traveling so now need to add the felt backings and magnets.
Thankful for creative hobbies.
Have a good Thursday.

These little magnets are beautiful and what lovely pieces to give away as gifts. Enjoy your day, Tammy.
How wonderful your friend left you those supplies. Your work is lovely!
What a very good way to make beauty and use up scraps!!!
I always wonder how do you and other kuwait long time residents feel when expats leave ...do you feel a loss or are you habitual of it now? So nice of you to make good use of your friend's stash . The magnets make such handy gifts.
The motif is very interesting to me. The Palestinian motif is very similar to a Quaker motif. I find it interesting that throughout the world we are more alike that we are different. Isn't it sad that people can't see it more that way. Maybe we could avoid all the conflict in the world if they could.
I love Palestinian motifs. So nice of you to make good use of your friend's stash . The magnets are very nice. Hugs!!
Love how you're turning old supplies into something so meaningful!
Those magnets make the sweetest gifts!
Those Palestinian motif magnets are beautiful, Tammy! What a great way to use up spare wool. I love the little purse/pouch too.
Love the flower motif and your gifts to friends! I've been itching to try surface crochet on a plastic canvas, but I guess many more moons until it happens.
What a beautiful and thoughtful way to breathe new life into gifted supplies, Tammy! The Palestinian motif is stunning, and I love how portable and personal these little creations are. Such meaningful gifts, too — I’m sure your friends were delighted! Wishing you many more peaceful stitching moments wherever you go. 🌸🧵
All the best, Traude

I love the photograph collage with flowers from Amman and your stitched flowers - perfect. I hope the dust has moved on now!
