My Stitcher's Angel

Yesterday was a very good mail day for me. I think my mail lady Victoria wanted to
make off with my packages. She is a quilter and a crafter and always comments when
I get interesting packages.

I was so excited I received my package from my
Stitcher's Angel, Inger Lise from Norway. I read this post the other day, and was wondering if that was my package being mailed off. Well it was!

It is hard to see from these pictures, and the background I used this morning, but she made all my items in a dark blue, and blue just happens to be my favorite color.

There is this cute little scissors holder, complete with scissors!




She had the packages neatly numbered on which way to open them but I forget which was which now.

But there was a cute bag with my name on it too!











And then there was this needlebook, also really nice.










And last but no least, Inger Lise made me
a necklace and earrings too!

I love everything Inger Lise, and truly appreciate everything you did! You made my day! Thank you again!

Stitcher's Angel Pin Cushion, Early Christmas

This is my third gift I made for my Stitcher's Angel recipient. It looks like a Stitching Angel to me. I made it into a pincushion. It was actually an ornament kit from my local quilt shop I had not made up yet from a number of years ago. I sent my package with all 3 gifts off to my recipient last week.

I plan to make some ornaments for my daughters in the next month for Christmas with this pattern.









Several weeks ago, DH was browsing the flyer from Harbor Freight, and telling me what he was interested in buying, and items they had. He came home, and showed me all he had gotten. He mentioned something else he had thought about getting, but didn't want to spend the money.

I mentioned that if I had the money, I would have gotten the
tool chest, that is lined in felt, and had a number of drawers inside.

So last week, he went off to Harbor Freight again, and got
me the tool box, and told me it was my Christmas present but I could have it now.







Of course, last night I didn't fill it up with tools, but threads, ribbons, beads, etc!

I love it. Plus it has locks on it so I can lock it when the grandkids (especially the little guys) come over so they don't get tempted.

I got rid of 3 plastic containers last night as I was able to get the contents in this.

Stitcher's Angel Needle Book

I finished my send gift to send my Stitcher's Angel recipient last night. I finished up this needle book.

I have an idea about my 3rd gift, just need an opportunity to make it.

Stitcher's Angel Needlework Bag

I have just completed my first project for my Stitcher's Angel recipient. This is a needlework bag, and this is the outside.
I started this right after I signed up for the Stitcher's Angel project.


















This is the inside of the bag showing the various pockets, and pin cushion.
















This is one of the pockets on the outside of the bag, and even has a place to hook your scissors.














This is the bag all rolled up and tied.

















This needlework bag was a pattern I have made before, by Pat Sloan.

TIF-JULY, Sticher's Angel

With our daughter's wedding in August, and preparations for that, time sort of got away from me
for July, although I did get my block pieced. Sharon's concept for July was "half", "way", "mark". I thought long and hard about that, but could not come up with anything to do with it.
I instead just pieced my block using the color scheme.





I am going to use this stitchery to make a needlecase for my
Stitcher's Angel recipient. I hope to get this made up in the next day or two.

You can even stop by the blog every week for 7 weeks and get a new stitching project if you can't commit to pampering someone else.
