A Russian With Love

I recently took part in I'm A Ginger Monkey's Russian Doll Swap.

.

My swap partner was Lindsey over at Ethel and Edna's Tearoom

.

Well I know she's received it so I can show it to you.

.

I wanted to have a practice with my embroidery machine and when I found this gorgeous applique design available on the interweb, I knew it would be perfect.

.

.

I do feel a bit of a fraud because it was all done by machine, and I know there are so many of you out there who do fantastic work using hand sewing, so I've taken consolation in the fact that I did at least glue the buttons on by hand. (Glued, you'll note, not sewed!)

.

Anyway, I think she likes it.

Oh, and I might have put some other stuff in the parcel .....
