Before Christmas I decided to do some more patchwork for some gifts. I love the book by Gail Pan called Patchwork Loves Embroidery.
It's a book that I've had for a while but I love to transfer the patterns to embroider. She also has several nice projects to make in her book. Each time that I take it out, I want to make more of her items.
After I made the bag which has a nice enclosure at the top, I stitched up some more birds to match the bag. I made some bitsy yo-yo's for embellishments along with some buttons.
Then I decided that I wanted to put another piece with embroidery on it with this gift, I stitched up the sweet little heart and made it into a pin cushion. You can also use it for decorating, putting on a shelf or in a basket.
I had fun putting this all together. I gave it to my friend for her gift but now I want to make more of these! The fabrics come together and coordinate so nicely. How can I even stop?
