| These are the items I put into a box to sent to my swap partner in Ontario. The mini quilt in the foreground is the main item. I made yo-yos for the cherries and leaves. My new Brother sewing machine does fancy little decorative stitches so I used the machine to put the little hearts all around the border. |
 |
| The tea towel also has yo-yo cherries. I made a little scissor fob and added some little craft supplies in the zip lock bags. |
 |
| I got out my embroidery book "Little Stitches" by Aneela Hoey and used the cherry pattern for this adorable pin cushion and needle book. (I made an extra embroidery to turn into a pin cushion for myself.) |
 |
| Of course there was candy too. Cherry Nibs! |
 |
| The embroidery patterns were from "Little Stitches" again. The card making supplies were from Stampin' Up. |
 |
| I adore how these turned out! Once again I stitched extras so I could make items for myself but of course my items are not completed. |
 |
| This little pin cushion is stuffed with fibre fill on the left so it doesn't show through the white fabric and then crushed walnut shells on the right side. The twill tape says "My hobby is knitting and handcrafts." Is that little embroidered sewing machine not the cutest!? I've had the book for two years and just now I finally made some of the things in it. |
 |
| And this is the little zipper pouch. I am very happy with how well the embroidery turned out. I think the September birthday girl is going to love it! I can't wait to see what she thinks. Her package should be delivered today. |
