2017 Wk 10 - mostly embroidery

Today I have finished embroidering 'Carla's' quilt label, and a customer's quilt label.

This means that I just have about 10 inches more sewing and then Carla's quilt can go in the post tomorrow, and so can Meg's label



I sent the original poncho to Jackie . . . seem here modelling it and looking far more glamorous, far slimmer and far more photogenic than me in my replacement red one



And I made a pencil case for oldest Great Niece (and didn't much like it so I made another one too) She is an awesome artist so I though a pencil case made of paper would be something that she could doodle on and decorate - every time I forget how horrible the paper is to work with!  Anyway she can have them both and do what she likes with them!  (We also gave her a large pack of pens and money towards a car / driving lessons / insurance)

  1. For some reason, paper cut and sewn gets the most rave reviews. I love your pencil cases - your great-niece will too.

  2. fancy labels reminds me I have 8 that need some but I just write on a piece of calico and sew it on. Both ponchos look lovely.Fascinated with pencil cases have you treated the paper in any way so it does not rip?
