A little stitched gift

Now that the cute little mug rug I stitched has been posted, traveled across to the other side of the world, and arrived safely, it’s time to show it off.

P1270869

I made this for my pen friend Janet, who lives in Cromer, England.  Janet is a quilter too.  We have been very lucky to meet up with her and her husband Alan when we had two trips to England. I seem to recall that their kitchen is blue, so hopefully this will fit right in with the décor.

This little stitchery didn’t take too long at all to do.  In fact I’ve made a second one, in different colours, and that will be posted off to another pen friend who lives in USA for Christmas.

Lovely colours and the stitches join in with the blues. Part of being a sewer or quilter is the joy of making a gift and sending it off somewhere far away.

Cute stitchery. I have a couple pieces made similar and they always lift my spirits when I use them.

I just loved the colours in your Christmas Mystery quilt. And this embroidered piece is so sweet, Jenny. Lovely blues.
