Carol S. is a very talented lady as you know, so I was a bit nervous to stitch for her and also it was very hard to choose a design from lots of LHN patterns!
Then I've chosen this design "Necessities Sampler" for her as I liked colours of this design.I stitched on 32ct Belfast Linen, so it became a bit big, so again it racked my brains trying to find an idea how to finish it off...
Then I found the idea to finish it off as tasseled mini pillow which I wanted to make at least once!It was a bit difficult for the first time to make them, so I think they were not perfect...
So I told her honestly that it was my first try and so they aren't perfect, but she told me there was nothing wrong at all...
She is so kind, isn't she!
Thank you Carol S.!
I will practice how to make beautiful tassels like she does!
I forgot to take photos of them, though I stitched our initials and "2008 HoE" on the pillow!
Here is the photo of backing fabric which I used for this mini pillow.
This photo doesn't show the colour justice, but I used my favourite fabric for it!

Anyway, I'm so glad that she told me she liked everything I've sent to her!
I heard that her DH loved sweets (Pocky) that I sent, so if there was another chance to send something to her, I will send variety of Pockys!! lol
Mine will be delivered from someone soon, I think!
I'm so thrilled to think about it nowadays!
