She sent it as a little thank you after I ordered my custom cut diamond papers for my eight pointed star quilt.
The flower is just 7" and was a joy to make in the evenings when my crochet arm could do no more. The little kit would make a great mini thank you gift for someone, made up or as the papers for a crafter.
I have hung it up at the cabin with the little collection of hoops I seem to have collected. Each piece of fabric giving me a different little memory - school skirts, Laura Ashley, pyjamas, my mans shirt, Amy Butler, Boden dress off cut, or the kindness of a blog friend, all worthy of happy memories.
We took loads more stuff back to the cabin this weekend but we are still not quite finished. We worked hard painting and putting the hooks and shelves back up. Luckily I had put pork in the oven before we went. Six hours later, after a lot of hard work, dinner was ready when we all returned home.
Had a busy weekend? Thanks for stopping by. Jo x
Ps. Can you see it Christina? Little pink flowers...

A lovely little patchwork creation, with the special memories attached to each piece of fabric. It looks great on the cabin wall.
ReplyDeleteI get my papers from Lina Patchwork, I found them at last years quilt Festival. I am now off to look for that kit, it will use up some of the last bits of marmalade.
ReplyDeleteJo it is all coming together really well. We love the shade of green on the walls and the hoops look brilliant. Well done to you all you have worked really hard. Jackie
ReplyDeleteA lovely memory make. Please to see the cabin coming to life K xXx
ReplyDeleteA great project to look at and have so many wonderful memories linked to the stunning fabrics. It looks wonderful hung on the cabin wall.
ReplyDeleteIt's really pretty! I love scrap projects like this
ReplyDeleteLove your stitching Jo. Well done on getting more done at the cabin, it will be ready to enjoy in no time at all.

How adorable! I love projects that come together from "nothing" although all the lovely memories you have from this piece have made it a big huge special "something" in the end. Just beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteMore lovely work, Jo! Thanks for letting us enjoy seeing the fruits of your labor and be inspired by it. xxxx
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Jo!! It looks really great with all of your other hoops and art for the cabin. Hope it is all done soon and you can move in again!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Jo. I love doing small appliques like that. Several years ago, I made a set of placemats using Dresden plates, in the style of ones I'd seen on Sandra Cherry Heart's blog. I think she was inspired by similar ones from the Moda blog. They were fun to make but I think I'd like this even better.
ReplyDeleteYour new patchwork is cute! Great idea to hang it in the hoop. I like the cabin hoop too. Cute! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is fab little stash buster. Such pretty fabrics and that feast of food looks yummy too!
ReplyDeleteLovely, so good to see you beavering away in the cabin and creating beautiful things to put in it. x
