I'm always relieved when I know my package has arrived - particularly when it is going outside of the U.S. This time, I stitched a gift for Ana in France! I wanted to try a different finish and it just kind of evolved as I stitched. This little scissors case is done on banding and is lined with coordinating red fabric. As you probably guessed, I used elements of a LHN design to complete the front and back.
Front:
Back (sorry, picture is a little bit dark):
Here are a couple of additional pinkeeps I finished recently too! First, LHN and CC Watermelon:
This is one of the recent Essy's Friends kits (design from MDesigns). I stitched it over two on 36 count fabric and turned it into a pinkeep:
I had two unexpected packages in the mail today. One is from Chris - a scissors fob - from an exchange on the US Exchange Board (I may have to wait until tomorrow to get a decent picture in good light.) The fob is amazing - stitched over one. Wait until you see it!
The other box was from Sudberry House. The Shaker clock that goes with LHN's Quilt Time Sampler was on clearance!
Thank you for stopping by.
