One of them has a boy who is the same age as my son, so we took our sons to there, too!
They (her son and my son) got along well together, so we could chat, eat, and stitch a lot and could have fun very much!!
By the way, the last time my friends gave me some presents, so this time I made this (photo below) for them in return.
I made this sewing case totally 7 pieces, 5 for my friends who I met today, 1 for my mum and one for my another friend.
I tried to make many kinds of things as presents experimentally, but I failed every time when I've tried to make, then finally I've decided to make this sewing case for them.
I copied Gwen's sewing case which I've received as HoE freebie exchange, because this is very lovely and I loved this wonderful idea and shape very much!
Here is when it is opened, it's like flower, isn't it!
I stitched a girl motif (freebie © Casa Mia), and I added a heart shaped coconut button on the back.
Here is the inside of sewing case. I added red gingham small flower and also some pins, and printed tags as something extra.
Here are close up photos of additional stuffs.I like this small red gingham flower very much, and my friends also liked it!
I was quite anxious to give this to them, because they all are very talented ladies...
But I'm so glad that they were very happy to received this!
Their lovely words for this sewing case was well worth making very hard in short time!
My friend's house was so wonderful and she has so many cross stitch books! and we could see so many wonderful works of her today, they all feasted my eyes very much!!
Anyway, we had great time! We will plan to gather again, maybe in the next month!
I'm looking forward to seeing them again!
By the way, some of them brought presents as well, and they all are so great!
I will take photos on a sunny day (from tomorrow, it will rain, though...) and share their photos on the next post!

The presents you have sewn are lovely. These meetings are fantastic. You're very lucky to have some friends near and to be able to share your time stitching while your sons are playing.
The sewing case is very pretty, and I am sure it made your friends very happy! I also love the red gingham flower. It's very sweet and so is the coconut heart button.
