Have you met Lisa from Cubby House Crafts?
Well - in issue 12.5 of my favourite magazine Australian Homespun she shared this pretty pattern....
which I just 'had' to make for a friends birthday
you see I wanted to give her something I didn't think she would have
I wonder if she has a plain vase?
that could be cheered up.....
or a plastic waterbottle
that needs some happiness wrapped around it
or perhaps her pencils are in an old bottle
that needs disguising
I decided to do Lisa's other pattern from the magazine ......
looks so pretty round the coffee pot
Lisa does the most lovely designs and stitchery..... I hope you will visit her HERE....
be sure to have a cup of coffee - there is lots you will want to read
I promise... you will be inspired.....
I will be including these in my OPAM count for this month
and linking up to Monday Show and Tell at Cookies and Cream Craft

Thankyou so much for your kind words...your covers are just so pretty and love your fabrics!!! What a great idea also to use on a drink bottle!

So cute xxx
fiona how lucky is Marina to have you for a friend,what a lovely idea,well done it looks great and so many uses for it.
Yes, I Love Lisa's designs and have been following her for a while! I love your versions of her Secret Garden jar covers - they are beautiful!!
Gorgeous stitcherys. Have used them on one of my Secret Santa things. SHHHH!!!!
So pretty! I'm going to check out Lisa's blog.
I have found a perfect place to display my gorgeous cover- a lovely water bottle with stopper. It is on my display cabinet for me to admire!
It will be lovely to use when I have my craft group friends over.
Lovely stitchery,pattern and fabrics on the covers!
And what a smart way of doing the two together of the Pinwheels.
BEAUTIFUL fabrics for your BG,
We are a few working on this lovely quilt-to-be around in the world,great:-)
How fabulous, I'll have to look out this pattern. Both items are wonderful.
Oh Fiona, you could stitch them up and cover everything that's too plain. Little skirts on all sorts of things would certainly cheer up the world.
Bubz the covers look fantasitc.....great job...
Fiona, you did such a great job, so pretty. Lisa is an up and coming famous designer me thinks!! Lucky Marina...
Such a lovely little project, it is really beautiful.
What a cool idea and, as usual, your stitching is gorgeous! I would have been surprised if your friend didn't like it! :o) Will have to go over and check out Lisa's site!
Happy stitching, my friend!
XOXO,
Cyndi

Oh I so love ehr stuff.. how do you purchase her patterns? I had a few I just loved..
They're lovely..perhaps I need to find a stitchery magazine with inspiration. I wonder what this one would cost to have it sent here...hmmm.
