It’s July! and that means ‘It’s a little bit French’ is just about finished. I have one more job to do this month because we’ll be putting together the delicious wall hanging/storage sampler for the sewing room. I’m really looking forward to that…
The winner of the June (and final) giveaway ~ the lovely drawstring bag full of surprises ~ is…
Mhairi!
Check your emails Mhairi, there’s one from me :)

I have one more job to do to complete the ‘little bit french’ journey. This month I’ll be putting together the beautiful wallhanging/storage sampler for my workroom ~ all stitched on a linen look cotton from the Rouenneries range by French General. Let’s take a step back in time…
January ~ a storage pocket
February ~ a pincushion
March ~ a pocket for my rotary cutter
April ~ a divided pocket for small stuff
May ~ another storage pocket
And June ~ I made a drawstring storage bag but I also have several other stitched ‘pocket’ pieces to add
How yum is that wallhanging going to be!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We also gave away a whole bunch of gorgeous stuff
January – a bunch of embroidery threads to complete the projects
February – The French Inspired Home book by Kaari Meng
Two sets! A needle book and scissor fob
J’adore… stitchery, fabrics and french themed pin back button
A thimble pip, scissor fob, buttons and french themed fabrics
One of my handmade drawstring bags… full of lovely surprises
It’s been a busy six months!
Seeya in a few days… I’m off to finish my swap gift for my new ‘french’ friend :)
