Please door stay open!!

With so many self-closing doors in our B&B, I was so tired of using those horrible rubber door wedges when 'in & out' of the bedrooms with either tidying or stripping the beds. So decided OK will try my first fabric doorstop, wasn't too sure where to start however remembered looking through one of my recent buys - 'Free & Easy Stitch Style' by Poppy Treffry Her book is really inspiring with great pictures - highly recommend it!!

Anyway here is my first attempt - need to make at least another 3 - I'm quite pleased with how it turned out however just decided to stitch the design on one side only. I know I was being lazy but was keen to get it finished.
Weighed down with rice (in a separate bag just in case of any spillage!!), I think I used nearly 2kg because our doors are so heavy. I haven't decided on the designs for the next ones but think each one will be different - how different not too sure at the moment.
