So I switched and made a little zippered case to hold some stitcher tools and such. This is the summer design in the Once Upon a Tree series from JCS, July/Aug 2009. The entire design would make a lovely bell-pull, but I didn't think I would stitch the whole thing. I like summer and fall (the one to be featured in the next issue) best. Lots of specialty stitches that I slogged through on the 36ct Vikki linen. So glad she will be offering a 32 count version come October. This really makes me think of summer with the wrinkled linen. ;-)
Next, a quickie mini-pendibule just to see how to make one. This design is from Stitch Creations. A little tricky to sew up the seam near the vertices, but the decorative ribbon hides a lot of that.
And the naked mail-art from the previous post arrived at it's new home in just a few days, totally unscathed. Except for the struggle I had with the post office clerk who insisted on attaching the postage label with Scotch tape, it was a perfectly fine experience. The recipients had never seen anything like this and they were appropriately thrilled (at least they acted that way for my benefit).

I love your zippered pouch! Pretty design and colours :)
Cute finishes Annie :o)
That's awesome! I still can't understand how a stamp can stay attached to the fabric by itself though...
Well done on the pendibule, looks great. I've not done one yet
Cute finishes! Love the zippered pouch :)
I love your zippered case, it's great to keep stuff for a project.
I also tried to make a pendibule, I did mine in light grey on red, also did not like the corners - they are rather stiff, the ribbon does not help much.
My attempts at pendibules look like ... well, they look seriously the worse for wear. Yours looks great! And I love how you've finished off the tree project - I thought this was a cute design, but couldn't imagine a bellpull full of them... Great idea!
What a great way to finish up a piece of stitching. We can never have too many pouches - for supplies, that is! Hmmm. Your pendibule looks great, but I'm thinking I'd better do a practice run myself.
I love the look of your little pouch...the linen looks so soft and muted.
Lovely work. Your blog is really pretty.
Here for the first time and sure would be back and forth from now on. Keep it going.
Do take a look at my blog when you find time.
Zippered pouchs are so fun to make! Yours turned out perfect, love the colors.
Tins are tricky, I've done a few, still want to do more because at the end they look so lovely!
The best fabric for pendibules is either linen or evenweave, it's easier to do the corners, aida is too stiff for that. But judging by the picture no one could tell it gave you a hard time, is perfectly neat! Congratulations Annie, as always your work is an eye candy.
Lovely design for the zippered pouch and that is just too cute, the mini-pendibule. I would like to try that one too one day.
The little zippered bag turned out sweet!
What adorable finishes! Great job.
wow...the zipper pouch looks awesome
Cute finishes, love the zippered case.
I love the little tree - it's very pretty!
