Available in coordinating wallpaper

I found some polished cotton home decor swatches at the thrift store. According to the tag they are (were) available in coordinating wallpaper (way back before I was born?).  I decided these little swatches (and some of my other scraps) really wanted to be gifts for crafty folks.  I made myself a little pouch for hand quilting supplies including scissors, thread and needles and I used it constantly during this project.

A small (approx 4x7") zippered pouch includes embroidery scissors, quilting thread and a leather thimble and a largish pin cushion with leaves for holding needles.

Then I made an embroidery kit:

This kit includes the same little zipper pouch but this time full of embroidery floss, scissors, and a coordinating needle book for your embroidery needles.  A handy little tote (about 9x10") with a nifty zipper handle has an exterior pocket for your hoop or patterns and room inside for a small project and your handy pouch.

It was fun to experiment this weekend with making multiples of an item and refining my technique. Not perfect, but improving.
