I have named it for the Exhibition as "ROSES FOR RACHEL"
Red is her favourite colour and the outer material matches a piece I have done for her previously. The inside is decorated with Bullion Stitch Roses,
I think the bullion stitch roses were some of the earliest things I learnt to stitch, taught by my mother.
Here is a close up showing some of the pieces that go in the pockets...Floss Ring tab, Pin keep and Tape measure. All the material on the inside is silk.

Lee, you a true needleworker! That is just lovely...I remember doing bullion stitches way back in high school (almost 40 years ago!) when I did crewel embroidery. Now, I just stick with cross stitch :)
Its 'awesome'.
Is the Regional Exhibition what will be showing in Stratford next weekend? I am looking forward to seeing that.
