I also made a her a lavender sachet with the leftover strings. She didn't know what a sachet was so I explained to her what it was used for and so I am making some of those for the junior bridesmaids too. I am waiting to stuff them with the lavender and fiberfill until the wedding gets closer.
Next I will be making sewing caddys for the four bridesmaids. You can see the one I made for my future DIL here. I have the fabrics and will be working on them soon.Gloria G. asked how I did the applique on the last post. I used the starch method on the flower petals and circles. I needle turned the rest of the applique.
If you have time go on over and say hi to Jan who is a new blogger from Australia. She is pretty new to quilting too. So go cheer her on in her new endeavors.
With Passion,
Carrie P.

Carrie - these are lovely. I couldn't get the link to work on the sewing caddies though. And I so wanted to see them.
