...and awful photographs, so apologies in advance.
My lovely friend C had a special birthday last week ~ I can't tell you anymore for fear of the consequences.
A needle book, a roll to store crochet hooks and other necessities, some machine thread and a Nancy Halvorson book with patterns for needlework accessories.
My lovely friend C had a special birthday last week ~ I can't tell you anymore for fear of the consequences.
I can however show you my present to her.
The crochet accessories roll was made from an online tutorial found here. I discovered this through Tipnut which has a whole host of great ideas and tutorial links.
Needle book with stitched "Black Needles" design from Simply Necessaries. Stitched on 40ct antique white linen with WDW #6850 Bluecoat Red. I added some Kelmscott Designs MOP thread rings and some pretty pins.
The fabric is a range called Marakesh from Maywood Studios which I found at my favourite LQS Just Quilting ~ I used this to make C's Christmas present too
This picture really shows the true colours of the fabrics!
Today Sis2 and her DH will be calling in for lunch ~ they are down from Scotland to visit the WP's this weekend. LM is hoping for the rain to clear so he can get outside to work on his car and I hope to be finishing more small projects as I plan to give out the first batch of birthday gifts on Tuesday at stitching group.
Have a wonderful weekend
Kate
