What is in the parcels?

Hello my friends.

I can at last show `What is in the parcels` as Annik has received them.

I thought I had posted `Airmail` but it took so long I think a snail delivered the package! 

With the seven parcels :)

F: Fabric.

Two blue fat 1/4s as Annik likes blue.

R: Reading.

 Lynette Anderson`s book 

`Rainbow Cottage`.

We like the same designer.

I hope you enjoy making some of the projects Annik.

I have this book as well.

I: Inches.

 I stitched the `I` one over one then back stitched the rest with 

Cottage Garden Thread 1201 `Peacock`. 

The fabric is antique white though the lighting makes it look cream.

I painted a little box( first time for me) as Annik likes boxes.

It is lined with paua shell print paper from NZ.

Then inside is the tape measure. I have one and use it all the time. 

E: Embroidery.

I stitched this little cushion using the same thread with an extra toning DMCs.

Then I added one of my block roll to hold some embroidery WIP.  

N: Needle case.

Using Anni Downs `Angel Story` book  I stitched  this little lady for the cover.

I used the same `Peacock` thread for the quilt.

Then tying it closed with `inches` ribbon.

Inside I added pockets and a felt needle holder.

D: Domes, a daisy charm put inside a dilly bag.

S: Scissors.

I brought this lovely pair of embroidery scissors.

From the colours on the scissors I use `Peacock` thread.

The pattern for the needle case and fob is from a 

`The Prairie Schooler` pattern. 

These are the scissors and the back of the case and fob.

Thank you Khris for hosting this swap.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.
