2013 First Finish

Hey there friends, here's hoping everyone is finding a little precious time for their handwork this month!  I created this lightly stuffed pocket finish for Carol over at Stitching Dreams for her birthday, worked in her favorite colors of yellow & blue.  The pocket runs along the trim and is a nice size to hold scissors, tape measure, or any small accessory that Carol desires...  maybe even her secret stash cash LOL!  If you'd like to wish her a Happy Birthday you can Google Stitching Dreams, don't forget to feast on her dazzling ornie finishes too!  Blogger won't let me link to her blog.  This was my first pocket project, and I see more of them in my future!

    Lovely finish and know Carol is thrilled with it! Such a gorgeous shade of blue that you used. Did you come up with your own pattern for this "pocket"?

    Thanks again for your wonderful birthday gift, Sue! The chocolate has already disappeared, but the stitching pocket will last (and remind me of you) forever :)
