Monday's Show and Tell

Show and Tell for today is my lovely scissor keep I received from my swap partner Anita, who lives in the Netherlands.

Anita totally spoiled me with my scissor keep and she made me a needle keep and a special purse to keep them in. This was all wrapped in the gorgeous butterfly fabric that she chose for me and tied with some white ric rac - all my favourite things.
Thanks so much Anita. My scissors and I are very happy!!
Thanks Sandy from Cookies and Cream Craft for oganising this Scissor Keep Swap - another skill you have taught me!

Once Anita has received her parcel from me - I will show you the very first scissor keep I have made. 
Sandy has a Scissor Keep that she made for her Show and Tell for a different swap.
And to see another Scisssor Keep - My friend Florence from France has the Scissor Keep she received from her swap partner Maria on her blog Chez Princesse Nounouche

Monday's Show and Tell

In April/May this year I participated in Cookies and Cream Craft  first Zippy Purse Swap.
My Show and Tell today is the zippy purses I received from my lovely partner Christine from US.

She made me THREE zippy purses and filled each with surprises! All completely different and all so beautifully made.
Thank you so much Christine - I think of you each time I use my zippy purses.

Here is the one I made for Christine - my first zippy purse (not counting my practice one!)

Easter Bunny came to our house!!

 

 

Madeline prepared this for Easter Bunny

Madeline was very busy during the week stitching this "Bunny Mug Rug" from

Hip Hop Hooray for Easter 

Both Mel and Tamar made this project and Mel's very detailed and easy to follow instructions are here
  

Busy stitching

Finished Bunny Mug Rug

Madeline wanted to make it a bit bigger than the original pattern and wanted to have a hot pink felt bunny.
After she traced the template, cut the bunny out of felt and blanket-stitched the bunny on, I quilted it  and then I taught her how to hand sew the binding.
Well done Madeline!

Monday's Show and Tell

Hi everyone - sorry I missed last Monday - I was have a mini "spur-of-the-moment" holiday with my beautiful family.

Today I am showing you the bag I made for my swap partner Deanna for the Great Global Christmas Swap 2010

Here is a close up of the stitchery (Becky the Bookworm) I put on the bag (stitchery pattern from "An Angel Story" by Anni Downs Hatched and Patched)

Mobile Phone Cover

Something I made for myself last year.
I followed the pattern for the iphone/ipod pouch from Janelle Wind's book "Pieces of Me" (my phone is a Nokia E63 with a QWERTY keyboard and I didn't need to change the patten at all)
I LOVE the pocket on the front (under the ruffle) and use it to put my driver's licence and scraps of notepaper. It also fits business cards.
