Well they say all good things must end and that includes this SAL from Carol. If you haven't been able to join in on this, I highly recommend purchasing the pattern (here) when she offers it. You'll love stitching it and you can do so many different things with it.
Above you'll see it after I finished stitching it this morning. Don't you just love the alphabet Carol used for the initial at the bottom right.
And here it is finished into my sewing case. I used a pretty green cotton for the lining and pocket. The ribbon is silk that matches the blue stitching perfectly. Inside you see the wool felt blue for holding my needles and mother of pearl thread holders.
Thanks for looking and blessings as always,
Barbara

absolutely lovely! I just finished mine as well, but I'll post a picture tomorrow :O)
Beautiful stitching, Barbara! I love the way you finished it.
I love your finish Barbara! I've been trying to decide what to do with mine since my linen wasn't the 40 ct I thought it was. I might have to borrow your idea.
The SAL has been so fun to follow, and your finish is perfect! I'm sure you'll enjoy using this sewing case!
Beautiful finish!!
What a beautiful finish and I love how you finished it.
I took part in the SAL also. The colour I stitched with is quite similar to yours.
Love the gorgeous alphabet and can see many uses for it in the future.
