A friend of mine invited me to go to Le Tour des Jardins tomorrow. This Tour features best Master Gardeners' projects and privately owned gardens here in North Louisiana. The gardens are so pretty at this time of the year here and we are looking forward to this great event.
I want to make a little present for my friend. Among freebies by Teresa Wentzler I found a nice design "English Cottage Sampler"- it perfectly suits the topic of our tour. I was thinking hard what to make it into and when at Michaels yesterday I saw nice little satin boxes I thought that is it! As you can guess I like to make boxes but usually I buy wood boxes for my crafts, that is the first box not made of wood.
Though Teresa Wentzler is one of my favorite designers I have stitched only one more design by her but I did it several times and made pincushions and fobs for me and one of my friends .
The design is called Geometry and I think it looks good on pincushions. Still I want to stitch something more intricate from TW designs... one day.
Nice weekend and happy stitching to everybody!

Such a pretty box. I hope you enjoyed your tour around the gardens
Как красиво! И коробочка, с оформлением, и сама вышивка! У меня уже целая папочка Терезиных freebies, так все нравятся! Оля, коробочка уже готовая была? Или сами клеили?
Oooo, both are lovely!! I like TW too, but have to admit - the blended threads are not fun to me :-)
L-O-V-E the box!!!!! Priceless!
The box is wonderful!
Both are very beautiful!
Can you tell me where you found the English Garden Cottage by Teresa Wentzler that you made into a biscornu? Which is beautiful, by the way, as are so many of your pieces!!! I am a huge TW fan and have ALL of her retail designs but this one I have never seen before.
I love this. Thanks for sharing. It is so different than mine!
