Sew does Katie...

Katie is my friend and a member of my sewing group "It's Sew Easy".

For her birthday I got her this patchwork and embroidery book from a lovely shop in Andover: Quilter's Dream (This is where I did my patchwork and quilting workshops).

And this is what she did

It was a present for her mum. Her mum loved it...and so did we.

This is what I did yesterday at the sewing club..Oh, I haven't told you about the sewing club yet! Next post, I promise.

Anyway, this is Isabella's birthday (5) present! Alfie is her dog and he looks just like that :)



And then I got a sweet thank you from her...I think it means she liked the present ;)

Like a kid in candy shop...

At least that's what I felt when I was shown this:
