First from gifts from Susan~
...when you flip it over this is the other side. Sorry but you have to scroll down a few more photos to see the book closed. |
Tara also gave me all of this. |
Straps from Guatemala. |
A fat quarter of this fabric (that must have gotten all fuzzy from the yarn that was touching it, lol) |
This is the button book from above closed. Thanks Tara for all the nice gifts!!! |
I made this little bag in an Asian fabric and sewed it to a metal frame and then I braided the handle too. This is one side of the bag and... |
...this is the other side of the bag. |
Inside the bag is another Asian fabric for the lining. The following things I placed inside the bag. |
The outside of the tins look like this. |
I saw a cute needle book in the shape of a teapot online so I made a similar one for Tara because she loves tea. |
The needle book closed looks like a teapot. |

You have a great group of friends!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday to you! Sweet gifts...lucky you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Daryl. You received some wonderful gifts. I love that sunflower fabric, it is gorgeous. I also love the little metal frame purse you gave to your friend, fabric was perfect.
ReplyDeleteGreat friends, great gifts and wow...that sunflower fabric has all of us a little jealous. It is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWell HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! Such lovely gifts for all. Thank you for sharing. Aloha.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Daryl!!! What a wonderful gift to have such a great friend and be able to bless each other with the perfect gifts :) I love it all!!!! That purse you made is gorgeous - and with its own hand-braided handle - wow! I think I'm going to have to make one of those teabag needle keepers - it's too cute :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous exchange of gifts. Happy to see you had a nice birthday, it's a shame we only get one a year.

Happy Birthday! Also, thank you for all the gift ideas! You and your friends are great gift givers! I feel like I am not. I always like everyone else's ideas better than my own, but there are a ton of ideas here, I am going to keep in mind for future gifts! This is perfect for right before gift giving season!!

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI will try to post again because for some reason it didn't post the first time. I have to say that I am in love with all of my beautiful gifts. Daryl didn't post a photo of this amazing garden wall hanging she made for me as well. I tease Daryl that the coneflower is her signature flower because she uses them often and does a magnificent job. The teapot needle book is extra fun for me because she made it so a lefty, like myself, can pour it. All the gifts are even prettier in person. We had fun sewing together as well.
Thanks again
Tara
