FHFS My Gift to Michelle

Our "Friends Having Fun Stitching" Group have just 
exchanged our second of 4 swaps for the year,
 a Ruler Cover and it was my turn to send to Michelle....
Michelle likes Tim Tams and Lindt Chocolates
 so I popped some into the parcel...
Michelle requested a cover for her 12 by 6 and 1/2
 inch ruler, she likes vintagey fabrics and the designer
Anni Downs so I chose a Punch needle design by
 Anni to add to the Ruler Cover....
I also included one of Anni's notepads, you can never have too
 many notepads especially if they are Anni Downs notepads!
 
Michelle also likes pinks and greens so I hope that she likes
 the fabric I chose with blue and yellow also thrown in...
I love all the colours in this and hope Michelle does also...
I quilted the cover  and added some measuring tape ribbon...
I also added a hanging loop to the cover so Michelle
can hang it up if she likes....
I kind of liked how it looks hanging in my studio on
 the knob of my vintage buffet and hutch.....
I wanted to keep it for a moment Michelle but
 remembered that I had made it especially for you...
Enjoy my Friend.....
Our next swap is due in October and is a Wool Swap
so I had better get my thinking cap on for that one....
Can't tell you who I am sending to yet because it's a secret!

Until next time, Happy Stitching

Kate

Michelle's ruler cover is beautiful, Kate. You have done a wonderful job. I can't make up my mind what I'm going to do for the wool swap. I really must start some serious thinking!
