Well....Molly has been cooking up a little surprise for someone. Molly's friend has a grandma from Nottingham. We all love the grandma! And since the royal wedding is quickly approaching {oh what will I wear?}, Molly decided to surprise her with a few treats.
So for my part....I made a Union Jack pillow!
I had to square up the pillow to a nice 20 inches square....added some lovely dark blue stitching....
And there you have a pillow fit for a queen....hmmmm....
And Molly stitched a tea towel....
She used about a yard of toweling...hemmed both ends....
Added some trim! We are going to complete this surprise gift with some tea and yummy cookies/biscuits! She will love it!
I worked on another block for the New York Beauty....
Now I need to go clean my closet....ugh!

I love your pillow. And the tea towels are adorable. I so want to make a New York Beauty quilt but I have so many projects to finish. Hugs.

Oh I love every one of those! NY Beauty is fabulous! Molly's stitching is beautiful and I love the UJ pillow. What a wonderful gift package!

ReplyDelete(Would it be ok to mention your blog on my blog and use a pic?)
So love your projects--I've bought myself a Union Jack pattern--I'm probably going to try my hand at a pillow as well for the 75th BD party for my mom. Molly did great embroidery and I'm loving the New York Beauty...

More importantly, have you found a hat yet? Love all your projects...how talented your Molly is!
ReplyDeleteI love everything thing in this post!!
ReplyDeleteI think your cushion is lovely Mary, and this is coming from someone who (heresy, I know, will you come and visit me in the Tower of London?) doesn't really like Union flags very much - I associate them (wrongly, I know) with drunken British football fans ...
ReplyDeletebut this is lovely lovely lovely xxx
I love your cushion and Molly's tea towel is pretty awesome too. You're so good making wonderful gifts. NYB is fab as well, a big time favourite of mine.
ReplyDeleteA lovely gift, that I have no doubt will be gratefully received!
