...I made. You may remember that one of the girls in my Crafty morning was going back to the UK.
We all made samples of our work and I put them together in a rag book. These are examples of what was in the book. There were 14 in all! I've just selected a few.

Lynne loved the book so all went well.

Last two pictures! The internet was behaving better today!



These two hearts are embroidered with silk flowers and threads.

the 4th set is a photo on fabric and some crocheted motifs from someone's wedding dress she is making! I mounted that on some silk.



I'm so pleased that this Rag Book turned out so well, and it was a great use of a whole load of shirt buttons I found in my button box!

What a wonderful keepsake for her, bet she absolutely adores it.

Rosemary

Very, very nice thing to do for her. Like the idea of the buttons.

Regards,

Richard.

A really wonderful farewell gift from all her friends at the craft group. Something she will truly treasure. You have made a very good job of stitching it all together Wendy

A perfect gift that I am sure will be cherished.

Carole

So that's what a rag-book looks like! I love it! The buttons are such a nice touch! I'm defiitely gathering ideas for that celtic calender!

Splendid idea!

Thanks Agi...I have to say that your approach to needlecraft from teaching your students was in the back of my mind.

How wonderful, what a lovely gift, you all did an amazing job, I'm sure it will be much treasured

What a gorgeous book, I'd be chuffed to bits if I got anything like that!
