What luck to have been sent a stash like that! I especially like the red and white bird. I also have the Ruth Singer book and the needlebook you made is gorgeous. On the subject of presents, Cath Kidston's new book, Sew, has some really lovely ideas (including a needlebook) such as a hottie cover, aprons, bath hats and a variety of useful looking bags. Also some really nice ideas to be had in Amanda Blake Soule's Handmade Home - my 6 year old embroidered and made up the bookmark, using up some of my vintage fabric, and that is wonderful! Anyway, do come and visit me some time when you have a moment won't you?<br /><br />Kateharmony and rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514921461051048885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542734265072988645.post-42440874947346308272009-11-11T18:46:14.716+00:002009-11-11T18:46:14.716+00:00I'm making recycled (and other) paper hangings...I'm making recycled (and other) paper hangings in Christmas colours for all the families we give to, a bit like my red, white and blue ones.
