Thank you for your lovely comments on my Japanese dolls Cross stitch project in the last post :)
Last week my partner Valerie from France received a gift from me as part of Margaret Sherry 'Send a Smile' exchange hosted by Nia on the Margaret Sherry group blog. You can read more about the exchange here and see Valerie's post here . This also gave me an opportunity to post for Jo's Gifted Gorgeousness SAL where we stitch a gift for someone or stitch while using some stash received as gift . You can read about the SAL and July link-ups here .
I made my very first needle book for Valerie :))
I added a small scissor charm on the cover and the purple crochet edging as that is her favorite color. This design is a part of Margaret Sherry design ' Play time ' from the magazine, Cross Stitcher, January 2011 issue #234 .
This is the back side of the needle book. A light beige colored sewing theme fabric that I had once got from JoAnn's online store .
I also made a crochet door knob hanger for her and this is now one of my favorite crochet creations :) You can find the free pattern here .
Let me show you what's inside the needle book . It is made of baby blue felt fabric with four purple felt pages , all embroidered .
These are other gifts that I had sent her along with the needle book and the crochet hanger .
I was glad that it reached safely and within three working days from India to France !! And Valerie loved those things very much :) I have taken few snaps while making needle book so may be I can show how I made it although it wasn't so easy for me but I learnt a lot about needle book making .
I hope you liked my creations :)
Have a great day!
