I am so glad that I decided to make my project last week as for the last three days I have been a couch potato and done virtually nothing whilst fighting off a chest infection. I even visited the doctor as we hope to go away for two days tomorrow which I don't want to have to cancel. Thinking of filling out those travel insurance claim forms is enough to give anyone a relapse.We were provided with a number of embroidery patterns, some Colonial needles and 10 Presencia threads. Now I have used thicker Presencia threads for a Leanne Beasley embroidery, but this thread is much easier to do embroidery with. I also used it on a mini quilt for February too.
I broke out my stash of Tilda fabrics again and selected a few fabrics. I chose the pink gingham to stitch on as it has a subtle pattern and colour.
I chose a pretty floral design to stitch and reduced it to 70% of its original size to make a needle case. I changed the French knots to some pink crystals.
As I had to pick up a prescription after my doctor's visit yesterday, I chose the pharmacy next to a craft store as I had made do with a mid blue felt in the middle of the needle case. I am much happier with the light pink which I was able to pick up from their limited choice of about ten colours.
