This month I made another name panel for the Christmas Through the Year challenge:
I have now made panels for 5 out of 6 of my nieces and nephews. I just have Harry to go...
This week I also made a little present for a friend who has been poorly. It's a housewife needle case and the pattern is from Kathleen Tracy's book "Remembering Adelia". I didn't make it in civil war repros, as you can see!
Inside:
It may have been a mistake to use a directional print though, as the teapots and cups are upside down on the front (but not the back!) - doh!
I enjoyed making this and my friend loves it, so I'm thinking I might make a bunch of these for sewing friends for Christmas. Watch this space!
I just love these name banners, you're doing wonderfully on them - only one more to go!!! That's exciting! The little needlecase is darling, I've done that myself with directional prints, lol...

I know your nephew will love his name banner! That housewife is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe name panels are adorable - you should post a "group photo" when the last one is finished!
ReplyDeleteThe needlecase is so pretty!
Love your name panels; they are very unique.
