Emma's Drawstring Bag

Emma's ninth birthday is tomorrow, so I decided to make her a drawstring bag, and give my new ribbon embroidery supplies a try while I was at it.  I filled the bag with hairbrush and comb, mini pink LED elbowed desk lamp, flowered hair clips, a hardcover spiral journal with a photo of kittens on the front, and a small burgundy leather purse with chain-and-leather strap and several pockets.

Here are my supplies -- and the end result:

 

 

 

 

Pocketed Elephant Wall-Hanging from Thailand

This is a pocketed wall hanging from Thailand, and was given to Janice, my late sister-in-law, by a Thai friend who visited her native land.  My brother gave it to me when we were cleaning Janice's sewing room.

Second Set: Casserole Dish Cover and Potholders

This casserole dish carrier, hotpad, and fingertip potholder set is for my great-niece Abigail and her fiancé, Kyle, who will be getting married June 1^st.

Marching Teddy Mug Rug

This mug rug is for Josiah for his birthday; he just turned four.  He didn't get a mug rug at Christmas time, because I ran out (though I gave him other things in its place).  So I borrowed back the mug I gave him, and made a rug to match it.

The rug measures 8" x 9½".  The blue edge is a flange.

Sheltie Dog Wallhanging

Tonight I finished a Sheltie dog 'fabric photo' wallhanging I've been making for a friend and customer, Kat Scribner, patterned after her much-loved Sheltie, Kody.  It measures 19" x 20".  I have 80 ½ hours in it.

This is the picture Kat sent me:
