I fell in love with this Christmas fabric

I simply fell in love with this Christmas fabric. From the collection The Giving Quilt for Red Rooster Fabrics. I knew the blocks would lend themselves for necessaires! I used two groups, one with more reds and creams and the other has more greens in it. I even had small mother of pearl hearts in green for the divider!

This necessaire is a little larger as the squares were bigger. When folded it is a 5" square. When rolled out it is 5" wide and 17" long. Lots of hand dyed trims and buttons, charms,etc.

Next I made some necessaires out of the Williamsburg Sampler fabric in the tan/brown tones. It is shown next to the multi-color browns in the first photo. On the inside divider I had some lovely light caramel colored mother of pearl hearts I used.

Thanks for stopping by. I wanted to share the new fabrics. I need to get back to the dye pot. I need to dye 10 yards of primitive colors for a gal and I need to finish it tonight. No rest for the weary.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope all of you have a very Happy Thanksgiving. And to all of my friends in other countries that don't celebrate this holiday.......I want to share this day of giving thanks for all that we have. Not just the harvest as it was long ago....but being thankful for all of the little things in our lives. And good friends....and loved ones. I think we all can think of many things to be thankful for. And I am thankful for knowing all of you.

Eclectic collage fabric is gorgeous

I fell in love with this Eclectic Elements fabric, called Wallflowers. I had to make some necessaires out of it. It has such a soft antique look to the collage on the fabric and yet it fits in with the modern stamping effects too. Great fabric!

Aside from sewing up a storm....I got the boxes delivered with the floss. Almost 400,000 yards to be dyed, can you say busy???? It's a good thing I love what I do!

Williamsburg Sampler Fabric...I found some!

So I finally found some of the Williamsburg Sampler Fabric. This variation has the colored alphabet on a nice cream background. I have scoured the internet for a year and all I found was 1-1/2 yards!

I dyed some buttons in a light caramel color and some trims in dark cream to compliment the necessaire. I also dyed the inner lining fabric to match. The fabrics are backed with fusible fleece for body and padding.

I include my signature pieces, the felted wool button bag with the open end safety pin, the felted wool pages with the large floral head pin and my wooden spool with hand dyed cording on it. Add a gorgeous brass heart charm with a floral scalloped edge, tiny brass keys, a bronze key and a small made with love heart charm.  Stuffed with goodies and it all fits in there neatly. They measure about 4x4" when rolled up. About 2" high. When it is rolled out it is 13" long. These are available in my ebay store or direct from me. This one is $27.99 plus postage.

I will be giving away a necessaire in the fabric of your choice during the 12 Days of Christmas. You don't want to miss those give-aways!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Be Ye Thankful give-away winner today!

I always like to decorate my office/work room during the holiday season. I put some of my carolers under their lamp post (it really lights up) to keep me company. Today they are singing that we have a winner!
In a few days we will celebrate out traditional Thanksgiving holiday. I am happy to announce the winner in the Be Ye Thankful give-away. There were a lot of entries and the name that was pulled from the basket is Deb, The Happy Stitcher. Congratulations! Please email me, nbelgian@aol.com, and I will have your gift package in the mail.

I have found a nice piece of the Williamsburg Sampler fabric and I am making more necessaires out of it. This was such a popular fabric last year that I couldn't keep it in stock. It has long been discontinued so I was happy when I found this piece. It is a gorgeous fabric with sampler alphabets printed on it and this one has beautiful colors on it. Last year I had the faded blue so I was tickled when I found this color. I will post pictures later to share it with you.

Thanks for stopping by!

Yes I ship gifts direct to your friends

I just had a gal order a couple sewing necessaires on ebay and she wanted to know if I will ship them direct to her friends as gifts. Yes I do! I also have the nice fold over cards and will write a message for you. I thought I had mentioned this before....because I have been doing it for years as a lot of you know. Now the rest of you know! lol

The necessaires make the nicest presents. They can be shipped in a padded envelope for a couple dollars or I can mail them in a small box. Either way they travel just fine.

Back to sewing....I just found another French General fabric in the stash.....and I absolutely love red!! Have I said that enough lately?

 

Thanks for stopping by. I will show the French General necessaires when they are finished.

A few of the Green/tan necessaries

I believe this was the Moda fabric Kansas Troubles....
I had quite a bit left over from a project and made some necessaires.
I included green floss with these...tan wool felt for the button bag and needle pages. Charms, buttons, trims, always lots of goodies packed into one of these little sewing packages. I don't have the greens listed yet...but here are a few pictures.

I will be sure to save one of each color for the give-away so you will be able to select your favorite. I know which is my favorite!!
