WOW Week 1 Challenge - Dishwasher Sign

The WOW Week 1 Challenge items:  Yarn and a least one magnet

I had white and brown yarn and a magnet roll...

On a piece of muslin I used various blue crayons to shade the background a bit and then to write the word "Clean" and added a few sparkles.  I tried to keep the lines straight and neat.... clean.

 For the "Dirty" I used brown crayons and made sloppy letters.   Then I couched white yarn to the clean side and brown yarn to the dirty side.  After adding borders, each piece was trimmed.

The next step was to sandwich the two with a piece of batting.  The plan was to put the magnets on the inside but they weren't strong enough.  The sign fell like a lead balloon.  Since they had to be on the outside I cut the magnets into different shapes.

Here it is in action.

 It's incentive to empty the clean dishwasher right away because I like the "Dirty" side better!

This was a fun first challenge!
