Gifts for Jenny

Jenny from Friends in Stitching had a birthday earlier this week and it was my turn to make her gifts. For the main gift, I choose to make the True Friends Tote Bag from Natalie Bird's Red Home book.I changed the wording on the bag to fit the theme of this years FIS birthday swap. 

Front and ... 


back. 


Ric-rac detail on front.



I also made Jenny a pincushion ...
 
 and a thread basket.


As Jenny loves the olde worlde/vintage style I used fabrics from the Luna Notte collection by 3 Sisters.

    The bag is lovely, love all the fabrics you used. I assume the thread basket pattern is in the Red book. I need to get that book.
