This stitchalong....

.... has been so much fun......
(well they all are but I did enjoy making the other smaller projects in the books)

I chose not to piece the fabric for the front and used some sewing themed fabric ....... 


the stitching is done in Cottage Garden Thread "Cranberry" .... 


... some felted blanket wool for the needle patch....


... I was delighted to find a perfect button which matched the fabric and just did a little plaited rope to wind round the button ....


.... thanks Chookyblue and all the encouragers on the blog.....

Righto, Gotta Go..... I'm going to miss sewing with you all...... 'till next time!
