We then have all year to figure out what we would like to stitch for that person's Christmas gift, which gets given at the holiday party in November.
Lucky me got Ria, a wonderful friend of mine.
She put on her little hint paper that she likes purple and gold.
Well, I knew she liked knots. And she had taken a trip to Scotland in the spring. And she carries her stitching in these mesh project bags.
I love to make things that have a PURPOSE.(haha I'm thinking of Steve Martin in The Jerk)
So I found the purple mesh bags. Took it apart at the side seams. Stitched the design on linen band. (I first tried to stitch on the mesh. Oh forget that! The gloss the mesh had made it SO DIFFICULT to see, even under the magnifier, so banding won out.)
Once stitched, I put it all back together.
I think she really liked it. :)
