I have done it again.... so please with what I stitched for my friend Ann that I rushed it off to the post before I took a photo. It was for our Stitching friends exchange... and I thought I had found the perfect design to stitch for Ann, when in a conversation I learnt that she had found the same design and was stitching it not only for her exchange partner but also for herself. The challenge for this exchange was a flatfold with a Christmas tree design on it and I had chosen JBW Designs "Christmas Motif Sampler".... the search was then on for another design to stitch and it was quite a while before I found just the right one. I decided on "Joyeux Noel" found on http://www.mingiustitch.com/. and by then I was running late hence the rush to the post. ( Ann has promised to send me a photo after the Christmas rush.
This is not the first time I have done this with a gift for Ann, I did the same thing when I sent her a birthday gift this year, however I did get the opportunity to take some photos later and will share them with you now.
The construction idea for the needle book was inspired by one seen on.Danybrod's blog and I used the peacock cross stitch pattern from a bag I did in a CA Wells workshop some years ago. The lovely Peacock pin is from the Just Nan's collection. I have plans to use this idea again.

Beautiful!
What a beautiful piece. The detail is amazing. Well done.
Stunning piece!
That is just gorgeous. Your friend must adore it.
Too funny about you both selecting the same design to stitch. What are the chances of that without all the patterns out there!
Oh, Lee, that is absolutely exquisite! That peacock pin (I think that's what it is?) is gorgeous. You've created a real work of art :)
Love the needlebook, it is beautiful. The JN pin is stunning too.
Hope you had a lovely Christmas.
Amazing work as usual. The whole design is so neat and beautifully put together.
I love that pattern from C.A.Wells.unfortunately I never could attend a class.And it's never published I think.
