Comments: There is a little story about these two sachets. First of all, I need to mention that my friend Terry who lives in England stitched them both.
Here is what happened. Terry stitched the first sachet (the little purple one above) and mailed it to me on December 13/2010 for this past Pierrette =^..^=http://www.blogger.com/profile/14089778500290515449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648898956244898370.post-46554073100352397942011-03-05T12:02:00.000-06:002011-03-05T12:02:28.934-06:00Lee's BJ05 design to fit jewelry case: Lee's Needle Art, Inc.

Christmas time has always been very special for me ever since I can remember. When I became a stitcher, instead of just buying Christmas decorations, I could then actually make some myself and I have had a ball doing just that ever since.
Since many of those Christmas projects have ended up in new homes, I thought it would be nice for me, and hopefully for all of you too, to take a few moments Pierrette =^..^=http://www.blogger.com/profile/14089778500290515449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648898956244898370.post-45213189883418531892010-12-18T13:33:00.000-06:002010-12-18T13:33:17.165-06:00A Christmas poem for all of us, exhausted stitchers
"The Morning After" Anne Stradal, designer
POEM
'Twas the night before Christmas, and, oh, I was weary.
My stitching unfinished, my eyes getting bleary.
The stockings weren't finished, the chimney was bare.
And I knew that morning soon would be there.
My children and husband were tucked in their beds,
But visions of backstitches ran through my head.
I'd stitched ornaments and presentsPierrette =^..^=http://www.blogger.com/profile/14089778500290515449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648898956244898370.post-29809554374917614252010-12-11T09:06:00.001-06:002010-12-11T09:09:04.089-06:00Christmas ornaments received from my best friend Terry for my Christmas tree (Santa's boots)

UPDATE 04/24/2011:
I wanted to finish this project so that it would be practical, so I have used a 6" by 6" Sudberry House trivet for it.
Under the canvas I have added a piece of fabric of a color similar to the canvas itself because of all the unstitched areas.
Again, I am afraid that the photo is not too good because of the glass reflection.
