I purchased sewing-themed panels and charms many years ago with the intention of quilting them, sewing on the charms, and using them as wall hangings – one for Stacia, one for Deloise and one for me. Earlier this year I made stitching pillows for each of us.
I had some fabric pieces remaining as well as all the charms so as soon as I finished the pillows I set them aside for birthday cards.
I used a stitch holder (from knitting) as a hanger – something I saw on Facebook.

On our trip to Calgary for Asher’s graduation, Elizabeth asked for microwave bowls in a fabric that I used for someone else’s birthday card – the pink daisies obviously. Since her birthday was coming up I decided to make the bowls her “card”.
My original plan was to use the daisy fabric for the outside of the bowl and the sunflower fabric for the inside but the two really didn’t go together so I made one bowl from each fabric. The first set of bowls I made were quite small so I made two more larger ones.
I was in a rush to get the parcel in the mail so I didn’t get a photo of the full sets but Elizabeth sent me a picture.

Last year’s card for Ray was a section of a larger pattern so for this year I stitched another section of the same pattern.
Not to worry Ray, I have several more patterns with colourful fish.

We hope to see Peggy and Bill on our way back from Alberta and Saskatchewan. Lunch will be on us to celebrate Peggy’s birthday.
