The birthday exchange in Needlecraft Haven shares threads to complete Little Blue Bungalow by Blue Ribbon Designs. I stitched mine this month and finished it. I use an old watch box as a needlebox for my holidays - it's the perfect size for my bobbins, tape measure and scissors. My needlebox now has a lovely new top :)

I hope everyone has had a good October - it will soon be Christmas shopping time, now there's a different budget to stick to :)

Silent Night is a beautiful finish.

ReplyDeleteHello Clare,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea with the watch box, always thought they were too good to just throw out, yours is so lovely. The Silent Night Hanger will certainly look fantastic in the Christmas Tree.
Happy stitching.
Bev.
