I managed to finish my Friday evening SAL with Michelle and loved every single stitch..
I had already bought the frame, I found it in a charity shop a while ago and I thought the colour was perfect…I need to attach a hanger on the back so I can hang it on my sampler wall…as it only has a stand.
Blackbird Designs – Ann’s Sewing Tray from A Schoolgirl’s Work Book
32 count Belfast Linen – Tea dyed by me
Recommended GAST and Crescent Colour threads
I personalised the sampler by adding my own initials and amending the year to 2012.
It is my friend’s birthday this weekend and she is having a party on Saturday evening with karaoke and disco…woohoo!! We have all clubbed together to get her a load of vouchers as a present, but I wanted to make her something small, she has just recently got into sewing and her husband has bought her a sewing machine and she treated herself to a Cath Kidston sewing box so I decided to make these for her…a felt pin pillow and needlecase (not a good photo due to the sun and shadows!)
I am finally getting rid of my cold, so feeling much better…thank goodness!
Thanks for stopping by today
