"The Potting Shed" Gift Received




Goldie let me know that she received the needlecase I stitched for her, so now I can show you the pictures. (I actually nicked her pics because I didn't get very good ones.) I sitched Little House Needleworks' "Herb Garden" on a 32 ct. hand-dyed lugana from Silkweaver. It is lined with some garden-themed fabric that complimented the colors really well. I made a little pocket for notions and sewed on a ribbon for holding scissors and three Kelmscott thread rings for holding 3 of Carrie's Threads. I sent some yummy Burt's Bees soaps and garden stickers for fun, too.

I'm so glad you liked it, Goldie! This was my first needlecase finish so I am relieved that it turned out ok. :)
