I thoroughly enjoyed my journey in creating this ‘doll’ of a project! :-)
So cute it’s almost edible (!) is this armchair caddy, needle case and scissor charm set designed by the lovely Leanne Knell of Petals & Patches.
The pattern is from Leanne’s ‘Matroyshka Maidens’ range, and I really enjoyed stitching it with the Cottage Garden Threads embroidery floss. The colour-way used is one of my favourites, named River Gum (203), it has a lovely gradation from olive green through to a deep plum colour.
The fabrics I used are from one of my favourite ranges – Peace on earth by 3 Sisters for Moda.
When the large Maiden is opened out she transforms in to a useful armchair caddy complete with pockets and a central pin cushion.
Leanne has recently released some gorgeous patterns in this range including cushions, pin cushions and decorations – you can find all the details here! :-)
I’ll be back soon to show you a recent Christmas finish!
Hugs!! Vikki :-) x

Oh Vikki that is too darling - great job sweetie! You'll be stitching in style!
They are just gorgeous Vikki.
Not only a lovely design by Leanne but beautiful sewing on your part Vikki. I'm sure she'll give you many hours of pleasure sitting by your side as you stitch.
