I have had an idea in mind for a scissor fob pattern for a while but have never managed to get one made, I had a bit of time last week and decided it was time to get one made, I couldn’t decide between 2 different designs I had in mind so ended making them both! The first is this log cabin quilt block design, a design which I always like to use when making quilts, and have also made a crochet granny stitch log cabin blanket pattern version too!.

- Cut a 30cm long strand from 3 of the embroidery threads used.

- Sew to join using 2 strands of black embroidery thread and by completing a whip stitch into each of the backstitches down one of the side edges. Insert the 2 ends of the plaited threads into the corner and continue joining the next side with the whip stitches securing the plaited strands at the same time.
- Complete whip stitches to join the 3rd side, then place in the stuffing before joining the final side closed.
