Lucky

For some reason whenever I do a swap I am always incredibly lucky with my swap partner! This time I got these gorgeous goodies from Moira (I think, had a hard time deciphering the card haha) for the Fat Quarterly Retreat Name Tag Swap.

In less then two weeks time I will be traveling to London and it's making me a little nervous already. At least people will know who I am by this wonderful name tag. The zippered pouch bag (I really must learn how to sew zippers, they still scare me) is fantastic too. I love the fabric she used for it! I will take it with me to London to keep some of my sewing supplies in like my rotary cutter, thread and scissors. Moira also sent me a lovely assortment of scraps and those are more than welcome too.

For the peeps who are following the progress of my white rabbit embroidery: progress is slow but I thought I'd post a photo anyway!

I am adding a wave/cloud shape in the background in teal/blue/white shades. I still need to un pick the flower in the front. To give you an idea of the scale: I'm using a 6 inch hoop and the rabbit is about 3 inches high.

    Very lucky! I'm still scared of zippers too...which is why our lounge chairs still have no cushions on them.
    The scraps will be great for your slabs and granny squares! Have fun in London. I'm very j.e.a.l.o.u.s. :-(

    You really are a lucky bunny. I'm not going to get my name tag until I get there and it's almost killing me. I've seen so many great name tags.
    I'm sure there are lots of people in London who'd be more than happy to show you how they make zippered pouches. I know I would :-)

      I just saw on the class list that there was a class zippered pouches too on the retreat. Not sure if I signed up for it but it wasn't on the list of classes I got eventually. Maybe we can find a spare moment and you can show me :)

      Thank you, :) I thinking it's coming along nicely. The hardest part (for me) are the ears...

    Bunny is shaping up lovely! The blues in the background provide a nice contrast to the fur shades. Can't wait to see the next update!
