I love lavender and I was really thrilled when I knocked on the door of a neighbour….(well around the corner and up the street a bit neighbour) anyway …..I knocked on her door to ask her if I could cut some of her lavender as the bushes in her front garden had masses of flowers on them. She said..Of course!

I picked quite a few and brought them all home and bundled them and hung them to dry. I hope to make several sachets with the dried lavender in them.

This issue of Patchwork & Stitching Issue Vol 11 No 6 on the front cover is my design. *grin* There it is behind the word ‘Learn’….

It’s a cute little hold-all and it was such fun to make as there are several little Christmas themed stitcheries going all the way around the bag.
I will have the pattern available for purchase very soon as not everyone can get the magazine in your country.
Hugs to all…………Vicki

I love lavender too but have no luck growing it. The sachet making lovely gifts.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Table Runner Pattern.
I have the mag and your project is just so cute.
You are so lucky to have been able to pick all that lavender!! I have several plants, but they are elderly and need to be replaced. The flower heads get smaller and smaller each year. The table runner is awfully cute and I look forward to downloading the pattern for future use. Thank you so much! Congratulation on having one of your sweet patterns published! ~kaholly
