Aprils smalls

Hello my friends.

I`m a little behind on my posting as my computer

 had a checkup and then I  had a scan on my left shoulder

yesterday,so no time to post!

My Small for April was this lovely needle roll

`Botanical Sewing Pocket and Fob`.

A `Chessie & Me` design.

Love the fabrics that came in this kit.

This folds in three to close with a cord.

The front with flowers and alphabet 

on the checked linen.

Weeks Dye Works threads as suggested:

Bullfrog, Cadet, Cranberry Ice, Grasshopper,

Linen, Rose Quartz and Whiskey.

The next three photos are of the flowers.

The center which I changed slightly but still using the pattern 

as had plenty of checked linen in kit to do so.

Plus there was no waste left.

On the fob is a `bee` but I am still fond of my 

`cat` made from another of Linda`s patterns. 

Found some gold handled scissors to attach fob to.

Instead of pins and needles sharing a place I separated them to each side.

The pins I used `Lilly of the Valley` flower.

For the needle flap I kept to patterns flower.

Hope you have enjoyed this short visit with me.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.

PS: Hubby`s vision improving but still has time off work.

Waiting for another checkup appointment with surgeon.
