A Royal Wedding Package....

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!

  11. 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...

  14. I 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 ...

    but this is lovely lovely lovely xxx
