Have not been blogging for a while, but have read all yours LOL. The garden needed long overdue attention & care. The birds are making nests under our roof and thought I make Britta a Bluebird ornament for her April birthday. The sampler ornament with thread ring is by The Sampler House. The linen "Selkie" is hand dyed and available from TSG
by Katie Trendell.
I also knew for a long time that she wanted an 'aide-mémoire'., and guess what, I found one with angels, just up her street, Britta is a vivid angel collector. It's from around 1910 and Art Nouveau, the back is stunning too. It was used on a chatelaine for writing notes.
The background material is from Moda Blackbird Designs "Garden Party"

Wow! Nice finish! Love the backing fabric you chose too. And that aide memoire -- so pretty! Also the ornament/thread ring. Very nice! I think the nice weather is cutting into everyone's stitching.
Love your bluebird finish. What a neat birthday gift too!
Bertie - what lovely stitching and that fabric is gorgeous!
What a lovely, ornate piece. I have never heard of an aide-memoire - what exactly is it?
Enjoy your week.
What a wonderful gift for Britta, I'm sure she will be delighted. Love the fabric you have used for the back of the pincushion.

What a wonderful post, Bertie! I don't know how I missed it. Love, the finish you did for Britta - she is such a sweetheart! I know she'll love her gifts. I have some of the fabric you used for the back of the bluebird pinkeep and I just love it! You did a wonderful job in stitching, finishing and in picking the perfect gifts!!!
