Birthday Gifts

Look at all this French General loveliness. I received these gorgeous gifts from Sandi for my birthday earlier this year.


The bag is adorable ... I love the saying Sandi choose ...


and the cute pockets with ric-rac inside.


Hexies are another thing I love so you can imagine how delighted I was with this needlebook. I love how Sandi fussy cut the white fabric ... and it just happens to be one of my favourtie FG fabrics ever.


Inside there are pockets for threads, scissors etc.


This little thread basket is sooo cute. I haven't had one before so this will get lots of use.


I've left the best to last. I LOVE this turtle pincushion .. way too cute to stick pins into.


Thank you, Sandi. I love all my gifts.

    How fabulous these items are, one by one and all as a pretty set! I have to agree that the fussy cut hexies are the sweetest detail. I've just lately become a French General admirer...so much to love!

    That turtle is adorable-do you know if your friend has a pattern for it? I am starting to collect pincushions and would love to add him to my shelf!
